Each of these songs is close to my heart, just like all 9 members of SNSD. (Awww......jk I mostly love Taeyeon & Sunny LOL......kidding ♥)
1. HOOT | 0:00 I know the first version I recorded sounded terrible, and it's kind of a shame that it's my most-viewed video...how embarrassing. The instrumental was bad, the microphone was bad, my vocals were bad; it was just a hot mess. This new version isn't perfect, but it's definitely much improved!
2. ONE YEAR LATER | 3:14 This is still one of my favorite rewrites, probably because it's one of the only happy songs I've written. For some reason, singing Onew's part was much harder this time...it makes me wonder if I've lost my ability to sing like a man, ha ha. Please forgive me for sounding like a croaking frog for some of his lines~
3. DIFFERENT | 7:06 This improved version sounds better, but I still can't do all the fancy vocalizations that Kim Bum Soo does with his voice. I'm just not cut out for R&B...but I tried my best! I'm sorry that the subtitles for this one are kind of hard to see; if you'd like to read them in their entirety, please refer to the original video.

It’s true, I don’t know, I don’t know you All your pain, what it feels like to live through When you’re broken inside, hurts too much to Tell me what to do
It’s unreal, you’re not here, like a bad dream Five is four, without you, it’s incomplete The same songs that I loved now bittersweet Tell me what to do
Trying to find a way to you Now you’re sleeping peacefully

I’ll never forget when I first fell in love The five of you, perfect, couldn’t get enough Your laughter had brought me relief when I felt So lonely lonely lonely lonely
Sorry that you had to leave us Sorry that we couldn’t help you But how do we move on from losing you How do we pull through?

The song title translates to something like “in love with someone who doesn’t come home.”
I remember my mom listening to this song when I was a kid. Funny, I’m now exactly the age she was when this song came out (in 1990) and I think I finally understand it.
(Apologies for the high notes; I am not a trained singer, just an amateur!)
Special thanks to my cousin Han for finding this obscure instrumental.

Old words won’t work here anymore After all, we’ve walked this road before I’m not the type to keep regrets Haven’t lost the light of our love yet
Back then I thought we would be A romance, eternally A story of us with no end
Is it that I like to suffer This kind of losing future? Hope only burns so bright Say you will be by my side Daylight turns to night
Why is it you don’t come home to me? Languish as I wait here desperately Heart that cannot stray Dying but I stayed Bitterness that can’t be erased Can’t be contained

I wanted to write a song about falling in love, holding nothing back and having no regrets.
YES I KNOW I changed the meaning of the original lyrics completely. But it sounded more like a love song when I first heard it, so I wanted to do my own take. Don’t be offended please.

It’s 11:11 That perfect time of night When the whole world comes to a standstill And I’m thinking about you Did you notice Something special when you looked at me Did you see it in my eyes? Possibilities Stretching out before us into the future And what we couldn’t see was that first time Would change the fabric of our lives yeah And I would call you mine
When I look back on this I’ll remember your smile How it feels so good just to be here with you And we hold nothing back and have no regrets More than a dream Now you’re lying next to me
Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na oh Na na na na na na na na I believe I’m in love with you
My head on your shoulder There’s nothing else that means as much as this moment How is it the day flies by in an instant? Makes me never want to leave Hold me forever And my heart will be at peace
When I look back on this I’ll remember your smile How it felt so good just to be here with you And we held nothing back and had no regrets More than a dream You were lying next to me
Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na oh Na na na na na na na na I believe I’m in love with you
Even true love Finds itself soon running out of time Never enough Let’s not waste a minute of our lives So make me yours Let’s take on the world And we’ll make it day by day
When we look back on this we’ll remember it all How we fell in love, memories both big and small And until the end I’m right here next to you More than a dream You’re still right here next to me

I was never lonely till I Fell in love, and let it be my Everything, everything You were everything
When did we let the magic die out? Why’s it faded to nothing somehow? Let me down, let me down Yeah you let me down
Couldn’t bring myself to Walk away from you How were we to end up all right?
Used to spend my nights just thinking ‘bout the old days Spend my days maybe trying to get to someplace Where I turn off the emotions I’m ok Even though I’m slowly falling apart Even though there’s still a hole in my heart One day I’ll look back and know this was the right thing But what I’m feeling Pretty far from ok
Thinking back to the past is torture All the joy that we have no longer Let it go, let it go Gotta let it go
All of your words, so sweet Promised to love me But you never actually came through
Used to spend my nights just thinking ‘bout the old days Spend my days maybe trying to get to someplace Where I turn off the emotions I’m ok Even though I’m slowly falling apart Even though there’s still a hole in my heart One day I’ll look back and know this was the right thing And I’ll be ok
Love it always starts so good I can’t keep the memory Cuz it hurts too much inside
Now I don’t spend my nights struggling to restart Don’t spend my days wondering where you are I feel none of the emotions I’m ok I know now you’re never going to change I know now I wasn’t the one to blame This is just how things were meant to be between us Was it a true love?

In my dreams, you were here with me Things were always as they should be Though my tears could drown the whole world I won’t let you go
Lonely nights, blending into days I recall the promise I made Have we somehow met before this life? Love is in your eyes
How we came to find each other, like a fairy tale Feels like I’ve loved you forever, and love will prevail Though the path we take is trying, hold me closer until Promise you that through the lifetimes, I will find you still
First a spark, now a boundless light Truest happiness of our lives What we’ve found is worth the years gone by Waiting to ignite
Time will come (when you’re) When you're not by my side (you’re not by my side) Memories of us never die Even though we’ve tasted bitter tears We’re together here

Blackened sky a darkened night over the waters That brought you to my side Couldn’t help but wander over back when I saw A spark in you I thought I knew
But those days fade to gray Now that love is in a shallow grave That hope we forsake Never to resuscitate It’s frozen cold Set adrift at sea It’s too late We cannot be melted No, even heat from our beating hearts could not save Lukewarm lovers Lukewarm love is gone
Why are we so cold Why are we so cold
I’m sorry that it ended like this You deserved better But what I thought was our true love Was nothing better Than smoking ashes where there should have Been a fire We fought and fought to keep the flame Never burned higher
And those days fade to gray Now that love is in a shallow grave That hope we forsake Never to resuscitate It’s frozen cold Set adrift at sea It’s too late We cannot be melted No, even heat from our beating hearts could not save Lukewarm lovers Lukewarm love is gone
Fade away It cannot be saved Frozen cold It’s too late just let go No, you can’t say that you’re sorry we were only Lukewarm lovers Lukewarm love is gone

This song is so beautiful; my voice is in no way worthy compared to the original vocalists, but I still felt compelled to write an English version. It's not a direct translation, but my lyrics are very much inspired by the original lyrics. The composers used Bach's "Cantata 156," which you can listen to here: http://youtu.be/xueopsTHesw
Instead of the original music video, I used clips from the film Amour, which won an Oscar for best foreign film last year. (No spoilers, I promise.) Font used is St Marie.

Usually I hate listening to the same song even twice in one day, but the first time I listened to Amor Mio, I replayed it almost 20 times. Something about it is just so mesmerizing and beautiful.
These lyrics are pretty different from the original Korean lyrics, but they still convey the same sadness of lost love. Also, the video isn't in sync with the audio because the instrumental was played at a slightly different tempo.
Parts of me will still replay Memories I've thrown away Here in the dark I cannot sleep These tangled thoughts suffocating me
I dreamed a dream that he had stayed To cherish what our hearts had made But when I woke, there was no one Only the ghost of a love undone
Amor mio, the one who left Still hasn't turned back or come home yet Maybe maybe, though He will hear my song and return Amor mio, the dead of night He disappeared without a goodbye Lately lately, though I've been learning to let him go
The days have passed like fallen leaves I lie among all the broken things Where is the hope in the silence? Cannot give up on what might have been
I hear your voice in gentle winds I want to feel you move again But for now I play the fool Reliving moments when I loved you
Amor mio, the one who left Still hasn't turned back or come home yet Maybe maybe, though He will hear my song and return Amor mio, the dead of night He disappeared without a goodbye Lately lately, though I've been learning to let him go
Does my longing for the past count as tragedy? Even now I wonder what made you want to leave Something I could've done differently
Can you point me to the grave where trust goes to die? Whether dreams can be possibly revived? Once more alive

Be careful whom you love.

My love will hurt you like a rose Looks beautiful when you first approach But beware that the thorns are sharper than you know My love will hurt you like a rose It draws you in but that's how it goes Be careful of your heart if you should get too close
I see the way that you watch me Across the room I can feel your gaze What do you know of love? Do you know how much it takes?
If what you long for is my heart You'll have to take my pain with it too Baby, protect yourself It's not an easy road to choose
Don't put your trust in me When I don't know how to love So just run away, run away I said oh oh oh Don't give your heart to me You still don't know who I am I said run away, just run away Don't come back to me
My love will hurt you like a rose Looks beautiful when you first approach But beware that the thorns are sharper than you know My love will hurt you like a rose It draws you in but that's how it goes Be careful of your heart if you should get too close
Seeing you like this makes me feel guilt That you dream and hope what you think could be real Yet still you approach me with wind at your feet And all I can do is pull back and retreat Emotions, a luxury I can't afford Love is a tidal wave towing the shore So run away, just run away Cuz you and I must come to an end
Every rose has its thorns x3
Don't put your trust in me When I don't know how to love So just run away, run away I said oh oh oh Don't give your heart to me You still don't know who I am I said run away, just run away Don't come back to me
My love will hurt you like a rose Looks beautiful when you first approach But beware that the thorns are sharper than you know My love will hurt you like a rose It draws you in but that's how it goes Be careful of your heart if you should get too close

How long has it been since the last time that we met? I can't keep track of all the days so mixed up in my head I've been out here and on the verge of meeting someone new But the truth is right now all I need is you
You're the one I love When I sleep you are the one that I am dreaming of In the morning filled with thoughts of you So come to me I am lost and only you can light my way
Let's go back to a time when we were young at heart We can escape the things that in the end tore us apart oh If you could undo all of our mistakes, would you try to? I would rewind if it brought me back to you
You're the one I love When I sleep you are the one that I am dreaming of In the morning filled with thoughts of you So come to me I am lost and only you can light my way
Now you're gone, I should've asked you to stay How did I ever let you slip away? Even though the love that we had will never be the same
So what's left for me is nothing but move on But I can't help that I keep looking back Thinking of the bygone days when my heart belonged to you
You're the one I loved But it's time to leave the past behind I'm giving up on the fantasy I had For you're no longer mine So I dedicate to you one last good-byeLunafly - Clear Day, Cloudy Day (English Cover)melloe2012-12-08 | Original music: Lunafly Lyrics/vocals: me Video content does not belong to me
I had never heard of Lunafly before, but I loved this song the minute I heard it. It's so beautiful. Parts of it remind me of Jessica Simpson's "With You." Also, I drastically changed the pitch.
Note: This is not their official English version, nor is this a direct translation of the Korean version, though a lot of it is similar. I liked their Korean lyrics.
The sunshine yesterday Lit brightly in my eyes It chased away all the haze in my mind
But clouds rolled in today Covered the sky The world gets grayer as the hours pass by
When it rains in the dark Feels like it rains in my heart
Though the clouds will always be grey yeah yeah And the sunlight always will fade yeah yeah yeah Though I don't know where I'll go Where I'll finally call home At the day's end, I'll be all right yeah yeah yeah
Behind every stormy cloud Is there still blue sky?
When I look out to sea What I see frightens me Not just a thing of beauty but one of strife
It makes me feel so weak Like it could swallow me The waves come crashing in I hastily retreat
Face my fears on the shore What if I can't anymore?
Though the tides will ebb and flow yeah yeah I can feel the earth below yeah yeah yeah Though I don't know where I'll go Where I'll finally call home At the day's end, I'll be all right yeah yeah yeah
We can't guess the future as hard as we try It won't stop me Although we cannot change the weather Come and join me under clear or cloudy sky
I sense the changing wind We may not meet again So let's use whatever time we have left
Though the clouds will always be grey yeah yeah And the sunlight always will fade yeah yeah yeah Though I don't know where I'll go Where I'll finally call home Would you tell me how you're doing yeah yeah yeah

An amazing song & music video, though I've been told it's very typical of K-drama music. (I don't watch dramas so I wouldn't know lol.) Increased the pitch one semitone so I could hit the lower notes.
Breathing on the phone Cuz we have nothing to say It starts to happen every day Things are caving in And slowly you begin To drift away from where we've been
Even though we're breaking I hope we can make it Don't know why, don't know why I'm scared that I will lose you for all time Darling, remember that you're mine
Eighteen months ago When we first fell in love It was everything I dreamed of Now all you have to say Are problems and complaints The distance is more than you can take
Even though we're breaking I hope we can make it Don't know why, don't know why I'm scared that I will lose you for all time Darling, remember that you're mine
Everything used to be happy It only briefly lasted Here I'm alone, you're alone Different time zones We can only reunite in the full moon
Everything used to be beautiful once Now the truth is that looking at everything hurts I still believe that You're the perfect one for me But is all this pain our destiny?
Yes it has been hard A thousand miles apart I'm afraid to admit That this might not work out I just want to dream That you're here next to me Can we pretend that we're okay
Even though we're breaking I hope we can make it Don't know why, don't know why I can't keep holding back the tears inside Promise me that we will be fine
Even though we're breaking I hope we can make it Don't know why, don't know why I'm still here willing to give it a try Please don't forget that you are mineEXO - What Is Love (English Version)melloe2012-04-21 | Original music by EXO (SM Entertainment) Instrumental by DarkJyn Lyrics/vocals by me Video content does not belong to me

How is it that each minute that I'm not with you feels like a week? Within our tale of romance is a tragedy Life isn't like filming an action scene so let the feelings move in slow And baby take our time because we know
You're mine forever And so together We'll watch our love intertwine yeah The timing's not perfect but it's so worth it so what do you say? Oh baby
I lost my mind, in that moment realized I fell in love with you so fast forgetting slow motion If it hurts this much, then it really must be love Aching in my heart for the chance to be with you Let's make a promise we'll keep With you I am safe completely When I felt your touch, then I knew this must be love
Though you're not pristine, you're the perfect one for me Out of all the guys I've ever met, you're the only One for whom I would be willing to go through anything
I swore that there was Something in your heart that drew me instantly Were we struck by destiny? I don't know why But I chose to take this road And I'll follow wherever it goes With you, my world is filled with sunshine Captured in moments every time that you're with me
I lost my mind, in that moment realized I fell in love with you so fast forgetting slow motion If it hurts this much, then it really must be love Aching in my heart for the chance to be with you Let's make a promise we'll keep With you I am safe completely When I felt your touch, then I knew this must be love
The way you look at me makes me melt and It's easy to love you with my whole self For us I foresee a happy ending happily ever after
When we have trust It's just enough to break down walls We didn't even know we had put up Hold me close to you cuz this is love
I lost my mind, in this moment realized I fell in love with you so fast forgetting slow motion If it hurts this much, then it really must be love Aching in my heart for the chance to be with you We made a promise we'll keep With you I am safe completely When I feel your touch, then I know this must be love
Though you're not pristine, you're the perfect one for me Out of all the guys I've ever met, you're my only Babe baby babe baby baby I see the light in you We have what it takes to Build something good that will last until the end You are my true love But above all, you are my best friend My babe baby babe baby baby If you're not with me, what is love?Sistar - Alone (English Version)melloe2012-04-15 | Original music by Sistar (Starship Entertainment) Vocals/lyrics by me Video content does not belong to me

I don't wanna cry Please dry my eyes I'm fallin' down Without you I'm fallin' down
It hasn't even been that long Since the last time that I saw You in front of me I still remember clearly My thoughts reminding me every day Of how I was swept away In what I had mistaken for such a fairy tale
Now everything that I held to me tightly Crumbling to pieces Falling down, I'm falling down Now everything I had planned for our future Flew away out of my reach like so You spoke your last words Leaving me on my own
Now I'm alone, you're not with me I'm alone, I watch TV I'm alone, I wait and see Maybe you will come back to me My heart is still broken Like a wounded shadow within All because I'm alone
I'm alone, wasting my time I'm alone, drinking my wine I'm alone, I think I've died Nothing could help make this all right We had love that grew sweetly Now you're nothing but a stranger to me All because I'm alone
Don't tell me it's over Hold me again Before it is too late (time's slipping away) Oh my boy I feel the weight of crushing despair
Now everything that I held to me tightly Crumbling to pieces Falling down, I'm falling down Now everything that I planned for our future Flew away out of my reach like so You spoke your last words Leaving me on my own
Now I'm alone, you're not with me I'm alone, I watch TV I'm alone, I wait and see Maybe you'll say you still love me My heart has been broken Like a wounded shadow within All because I'm alone
I'm alone, wasting my time I'm alone, drinking my wine I'm alone, I think I've died Nothing could help make this all right We had love that grew sweetly Now you're nothing but a stranger to me All because I'm alone
You told me in the end That you started to regret Committing to be together But trust me I'm the one who regrets it the most Though I guess you'll never know
So there's nothing left but to move on But it's so hard now that you're gone I can't help it if I still feel like Crying myself to sleep night after nightBrown Eyed Girls - Cleansing Cream (English Version)melloe2011-11-23 | Original music: Brown Eyed Girls (Nega Network) Instrumental: MegaCrescentMoon Lyrics/vocals: me Video content does not belong to me
Even people who are married decide that they are no longer in love. Those couples are heartbreakingly tragic, more so than even the one shown in this mv. The reality is crushing. Sometimes they are able to reconcile, but unfortunately, many are not. This song is dedicated to those in the midst of making that awful, agonizing decision.
Note: This is not a translation, though of course I was inspired by the original lyrics. Also, I lowered the pitch of the song so I could sing it more easily (though sadly even then I couldn't get it perfectly...ah well).
Hurting, hurting What have you done to me to me lately Oh my honey honey baby You don't know the things you do
Come home at night after a day out there with The people I will soon forget Their chatter echoes softly in my head
I look into the mirror on the wall What it says to me Makeup is a total mess, like reality Just within my reach, cleansing cream of my regret
Tell me where where where have you gone You left me without anything Couldn't even look me in the eyes So tell me when when when you'll come back To bring home your apology Though you turned your back on what we have You still can't say bye bye
So how did we get to this? Was it just something that I missed? Memories run through my mind With reasons too easy to find
How to get through this? I don't think I'm strong enough not to quit All alone, I'll carry on Even if you can't commit How could you do this?
Have you ever been in love? Have you ever really loved? Sometimes one person wants to give up Leaving the other helpless, watching as What once was happy burns to the ground
So today when I was out there with all those People of inconsequence All I thought of was wondering where you've been
What's the point of going through all the motions when All I think about is seeing your smile again Take this makeup off I don't need it on my skin
Tell me where where where have you gone You left me without anything Couldn't even look me in the eyes So tell me when when when you'll come back To bring home your apology Though you turned your back on what we have You still can't say bye bye
Why why why
How did we get to this? Was it just something that I missed? Memories burn in my mind With reasons too easy to find
How to get through this? I don't think I'm strong enough not to quit All alone, I'll carry on Even if you can't commit
How could you do this? Is it true, you'll love me no more? You must be mistaken cuz You promised to me We'll make it through this

This song is so beautiful & haunting; I love it. The non-ballad version reminds me of old school Britney Spears stuff and I love it too!
Since my last video, I've reached one million upload views & 900 subscribers o_o You guys are the best :)
Note: This is not a translation. Some of the lyrics are close, but I also deviated quite a bit.
Your words get under my skin Piercing me like thorns, I'm bleeding within Your memory like a tattoo Painful to create and hard to remove
Cry cry can't you hear the music It's drowning out the sound of love dying down
Baby can't you see the look in my eyes Heavy like a storm cloud low in the sky Though I loved you more than I dared to say You still left me crying here anyway
Your words still run through my mind Cold and barren, frozen over with ice Your memory plays on repeat Trapped inside my head, a prison for me
Cry cry can't you hear the music It's drowning out the sound of love dying down
Baby can't you see the look in my eyes Heavy like a storm cloud low in the sky Though I loved you more than I dared to say You still left me crying here anyway
Baby can't you see the look in my eyes Sadness overcomes all I have inside Though I loved you more than I dared to say You still left me crying here anyway
More than anyone, I loved you the most It's too late for us, so you'll never know Things you never gave me the chance to say Yet you left me crying here anywaySHINee - 화살 Quasimodo (English Version)melloe2011-10-03 | Original music by SHINee (SME) Instrumental by pimiimip Video content from Princessxd11 Lyrics/vocals by me
I actually started writing this song a year ago but couldn't complete it until now. These lyrics explore the aftermath of when people deliberately use words to hurt each other. The Korean title of the song translates to "arrow"; arrows can be used to represent love as well as hatred.
I raised the pitch of the original song, couldn't find a completely clean instrumental, etc. And I flipped the video. Just in case ...... I already have two strikes against this account but I love SHINee's live performance of this song so much that I couldn't resist using a video of it. FINGERS CROSSED

Should I stay or go? I still don't know After all, I can't believe What has changed, you told me you won't miss me now You can go to bed with your cold heart And never think of me This could be the end What if I just leave?
Oh cruel day Was the day you said to me Words you should not say And the pain continues rolling in to bury me I'm afraid What if love is lost for good? Would I want to replace The memory of you?
Now the arrow that had pierced my heart Starts to cut me to the bone I will let the hurt wash over me It aches with every breath I take And turns me into stone Take back what you said Or we'll just be alone
Oh cruel day What you said to me Words you should not say And the pain continues rolling in to bury me I'm afraid Love is lost for good Is it possible to replace The memory of you?
Awake at night, I wonder why Despite the poison of your words I want you here with me Can you just say you're sorry? So we can be happy
That cruel day What you said to me In such a cruel way I'm still giving you a chance for your apology The words you shouldn't say Things we can't erase Give me one good reason to stay Or I'm walking away
Cruel day What you said to me In such a cruel way I'm still giving you a chance for your apology The words you shouldn't say Things we can't erase Give me one good reason to stay Or I'm walking away
Don't let me walk away The damage starts to break my heart It hurts me but I'm still here waitingU-Kiss - Take Me Away (English Version)melloe2011-09-26 | Original music by U-Kiss (NH Media) Vocals/lyrics by me Requested by mochipockyrei
The original lyrics were sad but had a somewhat hopeful tone...I decided to deviate from this and make my lyrics as depressing as possible. It just felt more sincere this way. Pain isn't always easy to overcome. It's funny that this has such a contrasting message compared with the other U-Kiss song I just covered, ha ha...
The days roll by like a cold wind And I am dead inside Heartache so deep it's an ocean
Is there any hope for me? Can anybody hear my elegy? Hear me crying, here I'm dying to be free
Somebody take me away x4 Cuz I can't take this pain
It feels, it feels like I Went out to battle and lost They say "be strong" but I cannot
Is there any hope for me? Can anybody hear my melody? Hear me crying, here I'm dying, set me free
Somebody take me away x4 Cuz I can't take this pain
I reached a cliff and fell off Safety never had a shot This river deep and endless Carries me away from here I I I know I could just disappear
Somebody take me away x4 Cuz I can't take this painKara - Step (English Version)melloe2011-09-20 | Original music by Kara (DSP) Lyrics/vocals by me
While writing these lyrics, I was inspired by thinking about embarking on a new phase of life, whether you just moved to a new place or just graduated from school. Those are the times when you should leave past negativity behind and show the world how confident you are :)
You might notice that I used Hara's "ow!" parts from the original song...my voice just doesn't do that ha ha. Also, I lowered the pitch of the song so that it would be easier for me to sing.
Kara makes even rainbow polygon vomit costumes look so fatally hot I don't know what to do with myself.
I am no longer uncertain I've said my goodbye I can no longer be broken I've said my goodbye You can't slow my momentum I'm higher than I've Ever been before, I'm leaving you bye bye
I've learned again and again I will never forget 'bout you yeah To be myself, can't pretend Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Step it up step it up I'm starting over The tempo pounds even faster I feel the power Just step it up step it up It's here I know Nobody brings me down So don't call me baby Lalala...
Looking forward to tomorrow Bring on the sunshine Even if there's only sorrow I will be just fine Nothing out there can stop me I fight the good fight I have strength inside, I'm telling you bye bye
I know much more than before Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Step it up step it up I'm starting over The tempo pounds even faster I feel the power Just step it up step it up It's here I know Nobody brings me down So don't call me baby
They say that I'm dangerously louder But what did I do this for, do this for?
One two one two step Ain't nobody got to stress I am here in season and you got good reason To acknowledge me as best Wanting to succeed Like the air you need to breathe Open mind and soul to the world before you Step it up now
In life it's not possible to rewind I'm done with the past, wasting precious time
Step it up step it up I'm starting over The tempo pounds even faster I feel the power Just step it up step it up It's here I know Nobody brings me down So don't call me baby
Step it up step it up I'm only getting louder Tempo pounds even faster I'm letting go, letting go Step it up step it up It's here I know Nobody brings me down So don't call me baby Lalala...U-Kiss - Someday (English Version)melloe2011-09-12 | Original music by U-Kiss (NH Media) Lyrics/vocals by me
I knew this comeback was going to be amazing the minute I heard this song! I literally wrote this the day the song came out; there weren't any translations available so it's not really based off the original lyrics.
You can hit you can miss but it's all the same You tried your best, it's good enough Sometimes the race will take too much
Do you have what it takes to be number one? The only one who can answer that is you If you can overcome
Lift your head, lift your eyes to see the sun is shining through The morning brings a greater hope If you let it carry you
If your doubt is bringing you down I hope you know how amazing you are Everybody knows you tried Everybody knows it's all right
You get some right, you get some wrong Don't let anybody tell you that you can't be strong When you fall down, when you get up All you have to do is try and you will see That someday you truly will succeed
Life is harder if you face it with an air of gloom Tomorrow is a brighter day The darkness will be over soon
In this life, there's a balance that we have to strike There are times when no one's on your side And you don't know where to hide
If your doubt is bringing you down I hope you know how wonderful you are Everybody knows you tried Everybody knows it's all right
You get some right, you get some wrong Don't let anybody tell you that you can't be strong When you fall down, when you get up All you have to do is try and you will see That someday you truly will succeed
The past is the past is the past It's the days that you never get back It's the past There's no use in dwelling on what you couldn't have had The past is the past is the past Look ahead to the future you'll have
And everybody wins sometimes Everybody knows you lose some
You get some right, you get some wrong Don't let anybody tell you that you can't be strong When you fall down, when you get up All you have to do is try again and see You have what it takes to be Number one if you will just believeSunny Hill - 기도 Pray (English Version)melloe2011-08-09 | Original music by Sunny Hill (LOEN Entertainment) Lyrics/vocals by me Video content does not belong to me
I didn't really understand the translations I read, so these lyrics diverge quite a bit from the song's original meaning.
When writing this, I think I was inspired by the church summer camp I just got back from. The last night of a retreat is always filled with prayer (just like the title of this song, ha ha...) that is often passionate and tearful. My emotions got rocked that night while praying for my brother, and I think these lyrics were influenced by the reflections that came out of that camp experience.
It's been too long since the last time that we talked like this And there's the strangest feeling in me that I can't dismiss Come sit with me here and speak with me while we're here I have things I need to make clear
My tea grows cold as raindrops land upon the windowpane My heart grows heavy as I look in your familiar face The words are forming so please do not ignore me This could be the end it could be
Stand by me and pray for me Try to find the words to save a soul from dying La la la... Cry for me and I'm sorry It's not fair for me to put you through my sorrow There's no other way that I could show
It's not easy asking you for help It's not easy crying to myself I need a friend Someone to hold me when I'm scared and lonely Could you be the one to hold my hand? Could you be the one to understand? Things in my heart you need to know
Look into my eyes maybe you will finally see The pain I've hidden, all those secret years of misery If you could feel it, if I could just reveal it We could do this faster and easier
The thing is, no one promises that life is always kind And sometimes we are people shocked by horrors that we find It could be near us or buried deep within us Da da da...
Stand by me and pray for me Try to find the words to save a soul from dying La la la... Cry for me and I'm sorry It's not fair for me to put you through my sorrow There's no other way that I could show
It's not easy asking you for help It's not easy crying to myself I need a friend Someone to hold me when I'm scared and lonely Could you be the one to hold my hand? Could you be the one to understand? Things in my heart you need to know
Here before you, my heart's breaking Listen to the sound Turn back time if only I knew how
Take me to that place where healing can Wrap me in a wave of love again Can I believe that there is hope to bring me out of misery Is there love that casts out all my fear? Can I speak to you with words sincere? These are the things I need to know

Lately I've been catching up on MBLAQ's Sesame Player, and every episode reminds me of why I love everything about G.O. ^^
As with many of my covers lately, I eschewed the rap part because I just can't compare with BangMir hehe~ I also raised the pitch because it was quite low.
Note: This is not a translation, though I did try to keep it somewhat similar.
I keep the things you gave me in my closet still There in that box of memories hoping that you will come back Don't wanna hurt no more, don't wanna cry no more But you're not coming through that door
Did you tell me holding hands is like a promise made Did you show me how one kiss can powerfully change my world I need your love again, I need your light again But you are gone for good
If you see me Don't act indifferent If you hear me If you just listen I am right here on my knees
Even in my dreams I think of you Every night I dream of you All I want is you next to me But my longing falls on broken dreams I would give up anything to Dream again next to you
I wonder what it was that made you change your mind You say it wasn't me but how can I be fine with that I still don't understand what made you change your plan You seemed so happy with me
If you see me Don't act indifferent If you hear me If you just listen I am right here on my knees
Even in my dreams I think of you Every night I dream of you All I want is you next to me But my longing falls on broken dreams I would give up anything to be with you
I still want to love you damnably Here's my heart take it from me Couldn't let go now if I tried But you moved on a bit too quickly She can't love you quite like I do The one you said goodbye to
Lonely feelings sweeping me away In every night and day I only wanted All the things you promised to me Remember what we had There's no way to take it back Can I make you see you should be with me?
Even in my dreams I think of you Every night I dream of you All I want is you next to me But my longing falls on broken dreams I would give up anything to be with you
I still want to love you damnably Here's my heart take it from me Couldn't let go now if I tried But you moved on a bit too quickly She can't love you perfectly Like me but you said goodbyeSNSD - Let It Rain (English Version)melloe2011-06-25 | Original music by SNSD/Girls Generation (SME) Instrumental by MwNanyNk Lyrics/vocals by me Requested by mikizu223
SNSD songs are really not easy to cover...I know it doesn't sound spectacular, but I liked the lyrics so I gave it a shot. Also, this is my first time trying Adobe After Effects. It's kind of hard to learn...lol.
Note: This is not a translation, but I tried to keep some parts similar.
When the wind picks up and blows On the surface feeling cold And it carries something for me, I know, I know
See the raindrops hit the ground slow In my ears I can hear the echo All my thoughts clouding over again, oh no
I look in your eyes I don't know if you should be here by my side But it's time to pay the price You've been lying to me all this time
In my mind, secretly In my mind, you're here with me This rain is rushing in, we are washing away Go, you should leave We both know we can't be The dream that we foolishly believed Just let it rain let it rain let it rain Just let it rain let it rain let it rain
Massive whispers in the sky Hang above my head as I cry Thunder rolls and I know it's over, over
The window streaked with my pain It's as if the rain wants to say It's a useless game that we play
I look in your eyes I don't think that you should be here by my side But it's time to pay the price You've been lying to me all this time
In my mind, secretly In my mind, you're here with me This rain is rushing in, we are washing away Go, you should leave We both know we can't be The dream that we foolishly believed Just let it rain let it rain let it rain Just let it rain let it rain let it rain
The way you breathe at night The way you hold me tight I don't want to say goodbye Gotta go, gotta let you go It never is easy We can't avoid the grief Time will pass eventually Sun will shine
In my mind, secretly In my mind, you're here with me This rain is rushing in, we are washing away Go, you should leave We both know we can't be The dream that we foolishly believed Just let it rain let it rain let it rain Just let it rain let it rain let it rain Oh no no no noSHINee - Replay (ACF Version)melloe2011-06-09 | Original music by SHINee (SM Entertainment) Piano instrumental by keudae Lyrics/vocals by me

I know that it's fate (fiction, fiction) This story we made (fiction, fiction) No matter what it contains, happy endings will never change Don't you call it fiction
Sometimes I write and it's like life has changed before my eyes Other times I choke up, don't know what I'm doing When nothing feels right (and I let out a sigh) So I pause, but I care too much to give up
I come to you with feelings building on the inside You don't know why I'm always like this but I tell you it's fine But the truth is in the words I write

I wrote this one for B ♥ It's originally a sad song, but there's bound to be difficulty in every relationship. Just like the blue sky hiding behind rainclouds, there is healing to be found beneath the pain.
This song is so beautiful; it reminds me of Rene Liu's version of Black Black Heart. B says it's similar to Jay Chou's 夜曲.
Note: This is not a translation. Also, I changed the arrangement a bit so I wouldn't have to rap...lol.
I'm trying hard to keep it in Don't even know where to begin You're doing this to me
This feeling that I can't explain What's the use now anyway I can't fight this emotion
In this bittersweet surprise You bring me sorrowful goodbyes When will we see past the hurting in our eyes?
Misery sinking in the deep Drowning what was left of us But I'll hold on forever because
You are like the raindrops falling from above Giving life to me with your love Even grey clouds haunting cannot make me leave On the rainy days I think of you and me
Can we just talk about this please Can you just tell me what you need We have to work this out
Nothing could make me walk away So you don't have to contain All the torment inside you
I don't know what I can do to make you Trust me when I say I'm staying Through hardship, love will still remain
We've both fought battles with the darkness to Overcome the grief Baby all that I ask is believe
You are like the raindrops falling from above Giving life to me with your love Even grey clouds haunting cannot make me leave On the rainy days I think of you and me
Just let go Of all the doubt that lingers in your mind Just focus on me here by your side We both agree nothing's easy But trust in me and maybe You will find love that makes you complete
I am yours forever, never letting go Do you trust me enough to know? Any hurts, pain, tears, love, I accept it all Take my hand, together we'll keep holding on
I am like the raindrops falling from above Giving life to you with my love Even grey clouds haunting cannot make me leave On the rainy days I think of you and meSHINee - Life (English Version)melloe2011-03-18 | Original music by SHINee (SME) Lyrics/vocals by me
Finally back to doing SHINee songs :3 These are the lyrics that happened to flow from my heart. You can interpret them how you want to; regardless, I hope you can relate to the emotions.
Note: This is not a direct translation, but some parts are similar. I also made the instrumental a little higher than the original.
The day I met you stays within my mind Nothing could take that hope from me What would I do without your overflowing love? You are what was missing in my life (oh~)
I will follow you 'til the end Looking back I can see your footprints in the sand Have you always been right here, watching over every prayer? You saved me from my own despair
When I am brought to my knees, will you carry me? When I am suffering alone, can you heal the hurting inside? When I can't go on my own, promise me you'll take me there Can I trust in you? Put my faith in you? In my life
Who I was before has been changed You spoke to me so I could love who I became Words of truth, your words broke through Walls of sorrow you undo Here, my heart finds its home with you
When I am brought to my knees, will you carry me? When I am suffering alone, can you heal the hurting inside? When the world is just too much, promise me you will be there All I want is you Only wanted you In my life
Hiding in my fears, I'm fighting through all the tears The pain it has broke me down, I have lost my way But you hold me now Take me back again I can feel your love pulling me back up Oh all I need, right in front of me
When I am brought to my knees, will you carry me? When I am suffering alone, can you heal the hurting inside? When I can't go on my own, promise me you'll take me there Can I trust in you? Put my faith in you?
When I am brought to my knees, will you carry me? When I am suffering alone, can you heal the hurting inside? When the world is just too much, promise me you will be there All I want is you Only wanted you In my lifeDiddy - Coming Home (Teaser)melloe2011-03-11 | This isn't a teaser as much as it is a way for me to evade potential copyright infringements...

Rapper Bang Yong Kook somehow looks like Kikwang in this MV. Is it wrong that it turns me on to see him tied up?
This song was seriously tiring to rewrite. There are so. many. words. Jieun's blue wig is ridiculous o.o Respect to her for this song though...her vocals are outstanding. Surprisingly, I had more fun doing the rap...
Note: This is not a translation, but I kept most of it very similar. I also changed the perspective of the rap verses so that it's all sung from the same person instead of two people.

This cannot be love There's no way this could be love I don't know what you're thinking of
Where I choose to go Somehow you already know Should I be scared of your eyes watching me?
You are the one following me like an unwelcome shadow You're hiding there because I don't need you to walk me home It's sick that you enjoy the thrill of making me uneasy Pervert, you like the chase, but I'm already weary
In the darkness of just another gloomy night I See you lingering again in shadows right outside How many times have I said, please just leave me alone How many times will it take you to understand the word no no no I wish that you would go away but you just won't
Have you gone crazy? You can't just make me Love you with the ugly way you behave The way you treat me Is suffocating Cuz my heart will never be yours to take
You think that I'd never tell someone else But I'm telling the whole world how I felt Then they will see your sick obsession (I don't wanna see you) over me You've unmistakably lost grip on sanity You think that I'd never tell someone else But I'm telling the whole world how I felt The truth is that I don't wanna cry no more, more
I don't want you here When will you just disappear This thing is over starting now
Where I choose to go I will never let you know Now that I, I've resolved to kick you out
A hundred attempts, ten thousand of them, You're always calling me but I, I will never pick up So just leave me Stop trying to do things you think would make me like you I can't count how many times I've turned you down already
I can see the light from your cell phone texting Don't want your messages when you are still out there waiting This time I'm fed up with the way that you are stalking me This time I'll make sure that you don't come near me anymore, no no no I wish that you would go away but you just won't
Have you gone crazy? You can't just make me Love you with the ugly way you behave The way you treat me Is suffocating Cuz my heart will never be yours to take
You think that I'm into you You think that I want you too But believe me, I refuse I can't stand to see your face I wish I could just erase All the time I spent on you
This isn't right This ends tonight I don't care about the way that you feel We were friends long ago But now I'm losing hope I don't care because this love isn't real

I love this song so much, and I've always been interested in writing an English version, so when the opportunity to collaborate came up, I jumped on it :)
I was somewhat surprised to see that the original lyrics to this song make absolutely no sense, so I made up my own angle. If you've ever seen the movie Mean Girls, this is stuff that Regina George would say to anybody who isn't her. LOL.
Hey, yo
Say you wanna try me
It's not a simple thing
You think you wanna be me
You don't stand a chance
Change everything about you
Still would not succeed
Nothing but a copy
Wouldn't you agree?
Don't hold a candle to me
Everything is mine perfectly
You bring nothing but shame and pity
Hands off my NU ABO
Mystery, mystery
Hold up hold up, just a minute, hold up
You better stop this little game
Cuz you and I are not the same
Hysteric, hysteric
Because because laughing at you because
Your wish is to become my clone
You'll never reach NU ABO
Na na na...NU ABO
Would you threaten to defy me?
I'm in the trance
Even if you had the mojo
I'd knock you flat
In this world your life is tiny
I am the queen
Your existence has no meaning
You should just begone
Your style is embarrassing
Not to mention really ugly
Like a pile of unwanted laundry
You're just a good-for-nothing
Mystery, mystery
Hold up hold up, just a minute, hold up
You better stop this little game
Cuz you and I are not the same
Hysteric, hysteric
Because because laughing at you because
Your wish is to become my clone
You'll never reach NU ABO
Na na na...NU ABO
Stop dreaming, believing, that you could be me someday
Delusions are forming in that ever-empty head of yours, yeah
I'm first class, you're low grade
Bet you'll never get as high as me
Mystery ABO will you ever let this one go
Gotta let it go, oh
What you what you call
What you what you what you call
Yes this is how we do it our love effects
Yeah, yeah, yeah this is how we do it pure love effects
Yeah, yeah, yeah this is how we do it brand new love effects
You're a moldy wasteland rotting in the garbage can
How can you bear being disgusting? Don't understand
Mystery, mystery
Hold up hold up, just a minute, hold up
You better stop this little game
Cuz you and I are not the same
Hysteric, hysteric
Because because laughing at you because
Your wish is to become my clone
You'll never reach NU ABO
Na na na...NU ABO

Yeah, yeah, yeah this is how we do it brand new NU ABOBEAST - Lightless (English Version)melloe2011-02-09 | Original music by B2ST/BEAST (Cube) Piano by NEI at Bestiz (idk that's what the dl link said o.0) Lyrics/vocals by me
I know the verses & such are out of order, but I was just going along with the piano arrangement. The original song sounds happy but the lyrics are sad, so this cover emphasizes those emotions.
I can't go back to loving what we had before I can't go back to thinking that we will have more The darkness of my heart, it burns deep inside me Can't do anything when you're the one who had to leave
Don't say goodbye Our memories will fly, soaring in the sky Can't bring them back My days are black It's not a lie, I'll wait here till you're by my side
I can't smile I can't find I can't stop x2 lightless
You don't know what you have done to me I'm standing alone With the words you said to me I wonder if there is still hope
I'm watching as your image in the distance subsides (ah ah ah ah) My reflection sitting here cries (ah ah ah ah) In this moment I know that I have lost my light
I cannot move, my heart is paralyzed I'm standing still and darkness covers both my eyes I'm flying blind but baby why did you leave me I can't find the light when I wonder what we could be
La la la la lightless x7 What should I do
My empty heart is on the shelf I sit here as days go by talking to myself You took my light, nothing feels right I know that you'll return, waiting for your replyTaeyeon & Kim Bum Soo - 달라 Different (English Version)melloe2011-02-01 | Updated version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZeyU7UMPQI
Original music by Kim Bum Soo & Taeyeon Lyrics/vocals by me
This song, like Poison, is one that I immediately knew I wanted to cover the first time I listened to it. I'm not much of an R&B singer, but I tried to copy Kim Bum Soo's vocals as best as I could...and I recorded this at midnight, which is why I sound kind of restrained in the high parts :X
I have no idea if they're coming out with a MV, but I just made do without one and put subtitles instead :)
Note: This is not a translation. In fact, I couldn't find English translations anywhere at the time....lol

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I acted wrong again Although we had promised to make it right back then Forgive me, so careless, I thought you'd understand Take me back to when I held you in my own hands
Love is always aching Love is giving more than taking Love is everything to me From this day through I promise to love you differently
I'm sorry, so sorry to see you hurt like this I want to restore you, it is my only wish I take back the words that have pained your wounded heart It's all my fault, I know better, I'm sorry
Love is always aching Love is giving more than taking Love is everything to me Give me faith in our love again, love me differently
Tell me that you will be mine for all of time (love you forever) I won't leave you (leave me) I can't leave you (leave me) So I love you, you're my soul
Love is always aching (the truth is I will always love you) Love is giving more than taking (the pain is worth it to me) You're my love, you're everything to me From this day through I promise to love you differently Give me faith in our love again, love me differentlyPark Jungmin - Not Alone (English Version)melloe2011-01-20 | Original music by Park Jungmin (CNR Media) Vocals/lyrics by me Video content does not belong to me

Note: This is not a direct translation, though I tried to keep the sentiment the same.
Even right now I can still see that expression always in your eyes So today I'll make a vow, promise to uncover and realize
Make them stop stop stop these monsters In my head step step step all over I will rise up and find my voice I have a choice, I'll say it loud
So I can believe I'm not alone No I'm not alone, not the only one dreaming And I can feel it I'm not alone Know I'm not alone, but you have to believe me
They might bring me down down down down no no no no Down down down down no no no no I discovered in this world I'm not alone With courage inside me, I can believe
I won't let you push me around I am worth more than this I am not just nameless in the crowd
I will stop stop stop this aching No longer step step step can't break me I will rise up and find my voice I have a choice, I'll say it loud
So I can believe I'm not alone No I'm not alone, not the only one dreaming And I can feel it I'm not alone Know I'm not alone, but you have to believe me
They might bring me down down down down no no no no Down down down down no no no no I discovered in this world I'm not alone With courage inside me, I can believe
All my fears are thrown away, they do not control me Is this what it feels like to fly? I'm truly free
So I can believe I'm not alone No I'm not alone, not the only one dreaming And I can feel it I'm not alone Know I'm not alone, but you have to believe me
They might bring me down down down down no no no no Down down down down no no no no I discovered in this world I'm not alone Let's get through this together, I'm not alone You're not aloneEmil Chau - 朋友 (Peng You English Version)melloe2011-01-07 | Original music by 周华健 (Emil Chau) Vocals/English lyrics by melloe & LYC Productions
Long story short: Our parents' small group held a talent show (idek) & insisted that we participate, so we did what we do best, an English cover + MV. Of course they would appreciate an old song that they all know, right? ^^ Anyway, that's why this is so different from our usual projects.
We shot this video with my parents' Canon Rebel T1i, which made everything look wonderfully clear & shiny o.o
Years ago we agreed That great friends we would be Though we were quite naive But it's not hard to believe
Every day, every year With each laugh, with each tear Meant so much more to me with you there
Friendship will grow day by day Even when we're far away I know we'll be okay Friends forever we'll stay Though the future's still unknown I will never be alone Though we change, though we've grown In my heart is our home
Time has passed, we've grown up Sharing hope, sharing love Because faith helped us through I know I can count on you
In your eyes I can see How we fit perfectly Best of friends, always be you and me
Friendship will grow day by day Even when we're far away I know we'll be okay Friends forever we'll stay Though the future's still unknown I will never be alone Though we change, though we've grown In my heart is our home

Why did you assume I'd be into ya
That you're what I need
Why would you think we could be together
In your wildest dreams
What would make you think that you're possibly
Good enough for me
Why did you bring up such a crazy scheme
I just can't believe
Lately you had been telling me
'Bout another girl you liked
Though she turned you down, in my mind I guessed
That your love did not decline
Did you miss miss learning you can't move on
In a short-lived time like that
Yet you came to me, are you just bouncing back?
Why did you assume I'd be into ya
That you're what I need
Why would you think we could be together
In your wildest dreams
Your mind's a mystery
And our history
Is no mystery
There's no love connection yeah don't come in
We've been friends for the longest time
But I never had a clue
You would think of asking me if I would want
A relationship with you
Would I kiss kiss you as a last resort?
Something I have thought about
But you went completely wrong when you asked me out
Why did you assume I'd be into ya
That you're what I need
Why would you think we could be together
In your wildest dreams
What would make you think that you're possibly
Good enough for me
Why did you bring up such a crazy scheme
I just can't believe
Your mind's a mystery
And our history
Is no mystery
There's no love connection yeah don't come in
Your proposal reeks of desperation way beyond a doubt
Did you think of me as simply a rebound?
If I'm just for you to use, this is what I think of you
Get out, yeah
Yo! Whatcha gonna do? I'm telling you
It's safe to say I'd never be compatible with you
Is this all a joke to you? Better be careful
If somebody gets hurt it's obviously your fault
Yeah did you expect me to welcome you so gladly?
I hope you learned your lesson, this time love ain't coming down
Please do not try again, I'll spell it out for you
This is your rejection, the game is over now
Why did you assume I'd be into ya
That you're what I need
Why would you think we could be together
In your wildest dreams
What would make you think that you're possibly
Good enough for me
Why did you bring up such a crazy scheme

Don't think you'll get away with this one Don't you try telling me we're not done
Your love is useless just like garbage to be thrown out Your words are empty, there's no point in saying them now Nothing but selfish how can you pretend to call me your girl Your lies don't line up so I'm finally putting you down
Shake it off! x4
I never heard the truth from you, not even one time Your crying makes me cringe, it's just another false line I'm never falling for your "I love you" so don't try again You love to hate me, live to rip me, but you're not mine
Shake it off! x4
Close your life, close your mind Walk away (far away from me) leave me alone Close your life, I'll just say I don't anticipate you changing your ways, so this is good bye
Don't think you'll get away with this one Don't you try telling me we're not done
Why can't you just let it go, it's over Why won't you just shut it up, we're over
Yeah, this is how it goes Here we go again Let's do it Check the way that you speak and the way you sound Being like a freak invading my soul Never wanted you here and you're pissing me off I don't ever wanna see your face no more Did you, did you, did you ever love me Did you, did you, did you even know me Do you get it get it get it we are through And I never never wanna hear a word from you Do you understand? Will you disappear? Do you understand? Get away Do you understand? No more lies Get out (shut up) get out (shut up) Just shut up
Close your life, close your mind Walk away (far away from me) leave me alone Close your life, I'll just say I don't anticipate you changing your ways, so this is good bye

This is a collaboration with my chingoo Lucy @LYC Productions! She lent her voice (and microphone lol) for the rap parts.
There's a subtle SHINee reference in the lyrics. Can you find it? ;) This is not a translation — I rewrote it so that it's from the perspective of a girl. If you read the lyrics it's pretty easy to figure out.
The audio is a little scratchy because I messed up when exporting it from iMovie :X Watch it on low volume or with headphones I guess...lol
Something unexpected came about My friend asked me if she could ask you out She says because we broke up could she maybe Take a chance to get her feelings off the ground
"Th-th-th-th-that's okay G-g-g-get away" These aren't the words I wanted to say But they come out anyway "Go ahead it's not like he's still mine If you date him I will be just fine Be a good girlfriend, but don't forget to treat him right"
No one knows the feelings I'm hiding from you When I can't sleep at night it's true I'm still thinking of you baby what can I do So I told her okay and turned away
Oh can't you see I'm still loving you In my memory I just can't move on, and so Say no no no no no Say no no no no no She would be a mistake You can hear my heart break You belong with me always, say no
"He likes subtle romance Watch movies when you hold hands Always call him at night to talk about All your tomorrow's plans
"He might not remember all your birthdays, anniversaries," I don't know why, but I told her all these things What does it mean?
This is not the reality that I asked for But I tried not to let my heart show Deep inside I regret what we couldn't restore I don't want her to become yours oh no
Oh can't you see I'm still loving you In my memory I just can't move on, and so Say no no no no no Say no no no no no She would be a mistake You can hear my heart break You belong with me always
Say! No oh oh Say! Don't take that road Say! You would've waited for me long a a ago x2
No one knows the feelings I'm hiding from you When I can't sleep at night it's true I'm still thinking of you baby what can I do So I told her okay and turned away
Oh can't you see I'm still loving you In my memory I just can't move on, and so Say no no no no no Say no no no no no She would be a mistake You can hear my heart break You belong with me always, say noAoyama Thelma 青山テルマ - Soba Ni Iru Ne (English Version)melloe2010-11-16 | Original music by: Aoyama Thelma 青山テルマ ft.

I tried to craft these lyrics to relate to the original ones, and as inspiration, I wrote from the perspective of a person whose loved one has gone to join the army.

No matter how long it's been, I can feel you within Our love continues to flourish and grow Nothing can separate us and I'll tell you again I'm by your side baby never let go Don't tell me that distance is leaving us both alone Don't wanna hear that our destiny's overgrown Since the beginning was this pain that we should've known So baby please will you hurry back home
Baby boy I'm still here, you know that I'll never leave And you know that forever you're the one for me You know that I'll love you until we're both old Let our daily love story unfold How far away you are will not change How I feel about you, it is still the same Through everything our love will remain It's taking two of us forward day by day
Never thought even once in my wildest dreams you would be The one to say you had to leave me Even so, there's no way to get better It's too hard to talk, just wait for my letter
Things I want to say, just sound really foolish inside of my brain Want to ask how is the weather And are you feeling well today? Although you say that you are fine I hope you never feel that you have to hide You can tell me anything inside Are you there? I just need a sign Sometimes I wanted to run away but Never could forsake you because The memories we made were deep and though I had tried To forget them, I found that I wasn't strong enough and cried
No matter how long it's been, I can feel you within Our love continues to flourish and grow Nothing can separate us and I'll tell you again I'm by your side baby never let go Don't tell me that distance is leaving us both alone Don't wanna hear that our destiny's overgrown Since the beginning was this pain that we should've known So baby please will you hurry back home
Baby boy I'm still here, you know that I'll never leave And you know that forever you're the one for me You know that I'll love you until we're both old Let our daily love story unfold How far away you are will not change How I feel about you, it is still the same Through everything our love will remain It's taking both of us forward day by day
Did you get my mail, I even kissed the envelope Sealed with my love, arrived safely I can only hope I feel so awkward when you're far away How is it that you always claim to be perfectly okay?
On the floor in front of me All the pictures I wish you could see Looking at them every day's becoming a habit now Imagine you in them complete And now I'm waiting by the phone Will it ring to show me that I'm not alone And now it's 3 a.m. but I haven't closed my eyes To hear you tell me good night (The truth is) far away but I feel you near Far away but I will stay here I must be just a little crazy to endure all these tears But you're worth it to me I'm waiting til you reappear
Baby boy I'm still here, you know that I'll never leave And you know that forever you're the one for me You know that I'll love you until we're both old Let our daily love story unfold How far away you are will not change How I feel about you, it is still the same Through everything our love will remain It's taking both of us forward day by day
I believe in you and trust that In this life there's no turning back Will you hold on regardless of how stupid we may both act Carry on your battle because I'm with you in spirit til The day you come back I will meet you there, believe me I will
No matter how long it's been, I can feel you within Our love continues to flourish and grow Nothing can separate us and I'll tell you again I'm by your side baby never let go Don't tell me that distance is leaving us both alone Don't wanna hear that our destiny's overgrown Since the beginning was this pain that we should've known So baby please will you hurry back home (x2)Gossip Girl - Poison (Fugitive OST English Version)melloe2010-11-10 | Original music by Jea (Brown Eyed Girls) from Fugitive OST Lyrics/vocals by me Video content does not belong to me

Something has broken inside of me, it's too late You don't turn around to see I'm breaking You walk away and I die, don't leave I think the look on your face is like a shadow It passes if I can find a window Open up and let sunshine spill in over me
I love you No one knows you like I do Fate has closed every door we've opened We can't go back, we can't move on, we're poisoned
I tried to salvage these pieces that we untied We've both made mistakes and you can't deny We had perfectly fit together so long, for so long
I love you No one loves you like I do Fate has closed every door we've opened We can't go back, we can't move on, we're poisoned
Is it enough, you lost everything that mattered Don't apologize, you can never make up for what happened Itching to say, never knew you had it in you What do I do without your love

Won't you treat me right When I'm right by your side
You're the reason I had to change Put on a new suit of armor day after day I know that you're trouble trouble trouble And your arrow's so Sharp it shoot shoot shoots When I hoot hoot hoot Thought I finally found a good man You took me for granted every second chance Nothing but trouble trouble trouble Wish it wasn't so But you shoot shoot shoot When I hoot hoot hoot
Did you fall for someone else I just can't believe How you could give excuses up to here, you can't convince me That you're gonna improve, nothing could ever change you You better go, go, go
You're so full of it Why don't you just admit
You're the reason I had to change Put on a new suit of armor day after day I know that you're trouble trouble trouble And your arrow's so Sharp it shoot shoot shoots When I hoot hoot hoot Thought I finally found a good man You took me for granted every second chance Nothing but trouble trouble trouble Wish it wasn't so But you shoot shoot shoot When I hoot hoot hoot
I'm tired of dealing with all your mistakes You're running in circles and I have to pay Avoiding the question, I'm not here to play What we had is over so just get out of my way

This song is much more complex than I first thought when I started rewriting it, even though I had listened to it dozens of times. It was an ambitious & spontaneous endeavor that went from 330-6AM one night, and I'm pleased with the result ^^
This is not a direct translation, though the feelings are pretty much the same. I'm singing from the perspective of a girl who's trying to get a guy who is being seduced by another woman...love triangle! This song is dedicated to Key, my imaginary husband.

Even when you try your best to turn from The power she holds over Your mind is weak and undone You can't outrun it Trapped by charm you're tied to her or Trapped by love would you prefer You're chained to her you can be sure Her whisper is the lucifer
Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains Strung you up, gave you pain She caught you in her domain Try to escape, but you cannot get away All your struggles are in vain Tell me who's the one to blame
Guard against her spell of love she'll ambush you, lucifer G-g-guard against her magic she will use on you, lucifer Dodge the lies she'll throw at you to make you give your heart to her Where she really wants to go You don't know, you don't know
When she first filled your eyes back then She was all that you could see You were blind to everything else around you You were blind to even me (but I let it go) Thought you were okay It was your first t-t-t-t-t-time feeling like this You began to change And I wish I warned you way before she came
Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains Strung you up, gave you pain She caught you in her domain Try to escape, but you cannot get away All your struggles are in vain Tell me who's the one to blame

Now she forcefully took all of you And no matter how much you want to Try to take back your time and effort it's too late to take back your words No one can help you You don't d-d-d-d-d-d-deserve any rescue No one's here for you Gotta g-g-g-g-g-g-get on your own yeah
You were hunted down, she pursued But you gladly gave in, think I don't know Now she rules over you, soul and mind and body too There's no going back, do you regret choosing this track
Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains Strung you up, gave you pain She caught you in her domain Try to escape, but you cannot get away All your struggles are in vain Tell me who's the one to blame
You're a fool for thinking love's the reason she holds you so tightly to her If you'd open up your eyes to see what's right in front of you Maybe finally you'd know, you can outgrow, playing her prisoner Til then the burden rests on only you to find the truth
Loverholic robotronic x2
Leave her side you cannot Cut her off you cannot Flee from her you cannot, she won't let you choose Captive by her every day The troubles that you go through Nothing you can do
She is all that you have in your heart now No more room for that other possible route It's a game, if you look you lose And you lost yourself, this is so long farewell I'm giving up on you at last It's my final choice, I let too many things pass Hope you find your way out of Her controlling order and this thing called love
Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains Strung you up, gave you pain She caught you in her domain Try to escape, but you cannot get away All your struggles are in vain Tell me who's the one to blame
You're a fool for thinking love's the reason she holds you so tightly to her Do you think I care about your problems Dug your own grave, hear yourself complain Maybe finally you'd know, you can outgrow, playing her prisoner Let me know when you get sick of her rein Won't be long til she drives you both insane
Not to rain your parade but I can see, you're in chains Strung you up, gave you pain She caught you in her domain

I know it sounds a bit amateur-ish; I recorded it before I fully learned how to use Garageband lol. . . Miryo's parts in the dance version are so hot; I'm sad they weren't included in the actual mv :( Don't ask about the video editing...I don't know what I was doing ha ha.
Note: this is not a direct translation, so please don't think of it as such.
I saw you dancing last night With another girl at the party last night You didn't know I was there But I caught you red-handed last night Tell me I'm wrong 'bout last night It was someone else there last night I can't take another heartbreak No, no

She's nothing to you that's right Isn't that the promise you made that's right You accept her kisses that's right Holding hands in public that's right What happened to keeping the Words you whispered softly that's right You forgot, but I'll never let go, go
Every night I'll be with you Do you love her? Do you love her? Endless dreaming of you too Do you love me? Do you love me?
Bring bring your heart back here into my arms What's this spell I can't describe, tormenting me through the night Bling bling baby you're my fantasy yeah What am I, in your eyes, invisible despite my tries

Bring bring your heart back here into my arms You're forever on my mind, racing back and forth while I Cling cling baby to this fantasy yeah Reject her, I'm waiting, there is no room for compromise
It was you dancing last night With that other girl at the party last night Why did I go looking for you End up disappointed last night I can't renounce you cuz I'm Crazy for your love though it's quite Possible you'll never be mine No, noTaeyang - Superstar (English Version)melloe2010-09-10 | Original music by Taeyang (YGE) Lyrics/vocals by me Video content does not belong to me

Remember those days when love was just a promise
Not a pain to provide, battling tug-of-war
Now you're thinking of switching sides, think you don't want this
Oh no, you'll be breaking my heart if you walk out the door
Even when your spirit's low, and the cracks begin to show
Don't turn away from me, the truth between us always is the same thing
Nothing can stop me from loving you
Worlds collide but babe we'll make it through
Tell me you have hope in this love too
I can't see you with somebody new
Nothing can stop me from loving
I don't understand the reasons that you give me
After all this time suddenly you want to leave
The reason I cry is cuz to you it's so easy
To throw away our past but I'm in too deep
Even though you want to go, in my heart I'll always know
That we were meant to be, the truth between us always is the same thing
Nothing can stop me from loving you
Worlds collide but babe we'll make it through
Tell me you have hope in this love too
I can't see you with somebody new
Tears will come, and tears will go
Don't give up, we'll take it slow
I'm yours (can't break this down)
I'm yours (you're with me now)
I'm yours (I'm not just saying that)
I'm yours (I'm trying to show you)
Years will come, and years will go
Stay with me, our love will grow
I'm yours (this love is strong)
I'm yours (don't prove me wrong)
I'm yours (I'm not just saying that)
I'm yours (I'm trying to show you baby)
Are you even listening to
This song I'm singing to you
I'm pouring my whole heart out
But in your mind all your doubts are so loud
But I love you, nothing can replace you
It's you, forever me and youSHINee - Romantic (English Version)melloe2010-08-11 | Original music by SHINee (SME)

Wasn't expecting that call from you
We were taking a break so you could think things through
What did I do...
I lie here in my bed again
It's been days but I can't seem to move
I only see darkness, it's a prison that you put me in
(My) body's drained from crying over you
It's hard to fall asleep but when I do I see your face
Why are you appearing even in my dreams
Just stop haunting me
It's enough suffering
Sorrow's digging deep, I can't breathe
You told me "I love you" just last week
I trusted those words you now deny
You abandoned me like dust beneath your feet
How did you decide to change your mind
You're moving on
I'm letting go
Yesterday's over but the memory of us still burns
How can last words carry so little feeling
Like they didn't hurt you
Empty and gone
Life just feels cold
Grammar is no match for my tears when I am all alone
Still I have romantic in my heart
How did things turn out this way
I walk the streets to try and clear my head
Almost hoping that a car will collide
Couldn't care (baby why)
If I die (tell me why)
No point in living after my heart breaks
You couldn't know the pain I go through
You only answer to your morals, you say
Baby wait (I don't know)
Where does that leave me if you go
Can't replace the heart you broke
It would be lying if I said I didn't see this coming but I prayed
That you wouldn't do it, think of all the reasons to be with me
Won't you stay?
You're moving on
I'm letting go
Yesterday's over but the memory of us still burns
How can last words carry so little feeling
Like they didn't hurt you
Empty and gone
Life just feels cold
Grammar is no match for my tears when I am all alone
Still I have romantic in my heart
How did things turn out this way
Desperately wonder what went wrong
Can't cope with the tragedy
Everything reminds me it's over forever
What hurts the most is when
Remembering again
Every minute that you're gone the agony begins
All of my time and emotion
Were wasted on you, still can't believe that you'd rather give up
There is more of you than myself inside me
You're never gonna understand
You left a hole here in my heart
Where nothing makes sense, misery carried me so far
I'm not fine, although I pretend everything is alright
Can't let go, at the thought, I will never hold your hand
You're moving on
I'm letting go
Yesterday's over but the memory of us still burns
How can last words carry so little feeling
Like they didn't hurt you
Empty and gone
Life just feels cold
Grammar is no match for my tears when I am all alone
Still I have romantic in my heart
How did things turn out this way
You're moving on
I'm letting go
Yesterday's over but the memory of us still burns
I'm still trying to clear this mess
You left this shipwreck tearing at my chest
These scars won't heal, time goes by but
All this seems unreal, the ache is all I feel
Please say something, just say anything
Empty and gone
Life just feels cold
Grammar is no match for my tears when I am all alone
Still I have romantic in my heartSHINee - In My Room (English Version)melloe2010-07-25 | [The other video got taken down by MNet :( so here's the re-uploaded one.]

Wrote this one at 5AM when I was supposed to be studying for finals but was thinking about one of the exes instead. I don't reminisce about them often, but good things can result when I do :P [This is just a song though. I in no way want him back for real.]

Time slows down at night when the stars are out And I think of you again Am I wrong to imagine myself In your arms right now Pull me closer so your heart beats next to mine Here we are together somehow Two lonely people come Together one last time before I sleep But now you're gone, and I'm alone
Cuz you were my sun, my moon My everything was you And all of these things, you left here with me What am I supposed to do (with them) My room is empty without you, the shadows haunt me too Our memories live on inside these walls But I can't sleep cuz you're still in my room
Sadness meets me like a heavy fog When I see pictures of our past Smiling brightly covers darkness hiding underneath One day I'll tear it up to throw away Remember how you used to play me Songs on your guitar and when You poured out your heart on paper I still have those notes of love you wrote
Cuz you were my sun, my moon My everything was you And all of these things, you left here with me What am I supposed to do (with them) My room is empty without you, the shadows haunt me too Our memories live on inside these walls But I can't sleep cuz you're still in my room
Nothing can erase the time I spent with you My young heart recalls the truth, yeah That box sits on my shelf Waiting for you to come back to me But it can never be
Cuz you were my sun, my moon My everything was you And all of these things, you left here with me What am I supposed to do (with them) My room is empty without you, the shadows haunt me too Our memories live on inside these walls But I can't sleep cuz you're still in my roomSHINee - Ring Ding Dong (English Version)melloe2010-06-09 | Original music: SHINee (SME) Piano: keudae Lyrics/vocals: me Video content belongs to SME
This one was written the night before flying off to study abroad in HK for a semester. I was delirious while packing & didn't sleep the whole night, which might explain why the lyrics are kind of creeperly LOL..
Note: This is not a translation of the original song, so please don't mistake it for one. Also, despite the lyrics, I do not condone stalking. :)

Baby, it's impossible to escape me Because no matter how far you go I'll find a way to follow you home I'm your lady
Ring ding dong ... (etc)
Butterfly, that's what you think I am Floating from place to place Accidentally in your hand But I'm a faithful one, I won't run You and I will never be done I know you're not a typical bad boy Don't call me butterfly That name's from long ago No longer weak and slow I'll show you how strong I've grown Won't you hear me out, you're in your house You're the one for me, have no doubt I'm staying here until you allow Me to explain just how
Baby, I've fallen hard for you it's crazy Need only you to drive me crazy Don't turn away or I'll go crazy, my baby Why would you lock-a (x5) me out of your house Go lock-a (x5) let me in now In your house (x4) won't come out
Ring ding dong (can't you hear the doorbell sound) Ring ding dong (there's nothing quite as loud) Ring ding dong (what are you so scared about) Ring ding dong
You called me butterfly Did the feelings disappear? Cuz as the days go by I'm still waiting out here You're cruel to me (watching if you pass by) Don't you see (everything that I've tried) Was supposed to bring us together You chose to say goodbye
Baby, I've fallen hard for you it's crazy Need only you to drive me crazy Don't turn away or I'll go crazy, my baby
Now don't think just because we're a little bit different That we can't make this love thing work I'll never understand why you keep rejecting me Do you enjoy watching people get hurt? Break out (x4) ring ding ...
So show me that you are capable of being kind (I'll forgive, you'll forget We'll go on, leave behind this turmoil and regret) With time you'll warm up to the idea of being mine (Then this battle finally ends)
Complicated world (You can't see it's me you truly want) I dream that our future unfurls (When I wake up I find that you're gone) Don't chase silly girls, I'm your miracle Yet you keep me outside pining for your love I'll sing here forever
