SIGN OST: Good Person by Kim Jin Pyo (feat. Sook Hee) Translated Lyrics

Now here's a song I've been DYING to translate ever since I first heard it, but couldn't due to time constraints... *cough* (what that really means: I was following too many kdramas and translating too many SIWs to sit down and properly decipher translate a song).


Ran into some complications...
First I printed the wrong version of lyrics (not the drama one, the original), so asdfkgjlaskdj. But when I searched for the correct (i.e drama) version, I found that there were several versions of the hangul lyrics, imagine that! Sook Hee's lyrics were fine, but the rap parts! Oh my, Jin Pyo's lines are... asdfgkjllsasdk;jlkl. The hangul lyrics, when pronounced, sounds similar but have a TOTALLY DIFFERENT meaning. So the entire experience, I guess you could say, was punny (pun definitely not intended). And double bummer: Chinese translations that were based on the erroneous hangul version, so I couldn't rely on them too much for cross-checking.


But I really had fun though! I don't mind listening to this song over and over and over and over again, hee :)


The MV:

Translated Lyrics: 

Good person, my precious person,

The person who has been protecting me all this time

The person who held me through stormy days, 

How can I ever forget you?

The love that you wanted, it's my wish too

But we parted when I returned, no way, that's not what I wanted

The love that you wanted, it's my wish too

But we parted when I returned, no way, that's not what I wanted

My heart is going crazy, crazy for you, you're still here in my head

In the corner of my heart, fond memories of us still remain

That's right, back then... instantly I'm flooded with memories of you

Good person, my precious person, 

The person who has been protecting me all this time

The person who held me through stormy days, 

How can I ever forget you?

Ohh Oooh~ 

Ahhh~ 

Uh, uh 

No matter how much I try to forget you

No matter how drunk I get

Without you, I'm in despair

Unfortunately, the yearning only increases

Overnight, the wound still remains

All the sadness of the world on me alone

Where did it all go wrong?

It's a tangled, endless, unending path

If loving you is a sin, if having unresolved feelings is a sin, 

I guess these memories are my punishment

Too easily, bye bye bye

Everyday, I cry cry cry

Please answer me, tell me why why

I love you, 

Please accept my heart

"I love you,"

I'm shouting to the world

Trapped in sorrow, I'm in tears

Where are you right now?

Love is a terrible disease

It hurts your heart so

As time passes, 
I'll recover

My once dearly beloved...

Good person, my precious person

The person who has been protecting me all this time,

The person who held me through stormy days, 

How can I ever forget you?

I'm so good, I can't even protect you

This useless person you once loved, 

Still can't forget you

The reflection in the mirror looks gaunt

 Today I prayed again...

A wish for you,

May you be happy wherever you are

Chloe Says: WOW. Did you realize? This song is fucking EPIC - there's practically a whole kdrama plot in here! As I was translating, I kept having visions of A Time To Kill, with a dash of Green Rose mixed in. This song would totally suit those two shows! As opposed to a CSI dramedy show, don't cha think?? :D


Translation notes: Purple - originally sung in English.
