Song(s) of the (past several) week(s)

My bad for failing to update recently, so to make it all up, here are… several songs this week~ This batch is a mix of both Chinese and Korean songs, from new albums, and old! (So many albums and songs came out in the past few weeks. Have you heard of them all yet? If not, enjoy!)

Without you by U-Kiss
First up is Without you by U-Kiss, released in their studio album Only One on February 3, 2010 (back when Kim KiBum and Alexander Lee were still in the group). Very up-beat, and incredibly addicting. Almost guaranteed to get you hyped up and bouncing up and down before the song ends. Enjoy all 3:19 minutes of it

Tonight by Big Bang
Title track from Big Bang’s latest album, Tonight, as all of you Kpop fans know already. Oddly enough, this song didn’t immediately click with me at first, but, if you repeat it a few times, and watch the MV… well, let’s just say magic happens. Flashy? I think so. Bouncy? A definite. Addicting? Agreed. Popular? Nah, more like THE song that everyone knows.
P.S.: Music composed by: G. Dragon. Lyrics written by: G. Dragon. If that’s not talent, then what is? Also, what’s up with his outfits in the MV? … Oh well, just adds on to his appeal I guess (what a cool guy).

Off my mind by Henry (from Super Junior-M)
Everyone’s also talking about Super Junior-M’s hit song “Perfection.” However, that song doesn’t have that much appeal to me (mainly because I didn’t realize they were singing in Chinese at first >.>), though Henry’s solo song “Off my mind” seems to do the trick! I’m captivated by the catchiness of the song and how clear his voice is, especially during the transitions between Chinese and English. But, what’s more amazing is the fact that he composed and wrote the lyrics to the song. Essentially, it’s his song and only his song. I’m just sad that it’s not AS popular as it can be.

Chinese Lyrics:
Girl 我一看到你,I go Cra Cra Crazy
我只想要你做我的 Baby
我想看透你的心但是我没有办法,
我可不可以牵你的手?

也许你也正在想着我,
You got me goin crazy, crazy, crazy, yea
如果我们在一起,做什么都愿意
Oh Baby baby baby

我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里
我的心,不会放弃
你是我唯一
Girl 这不是意外, 你是我的女孩
I can’t get my mind off ya, off ya
我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里
我的心,不会放弃
你是我唯一
Girl 这不是意外, 你是我的女孩
I can’t get my mind off ya, off ya(off my mind)

天塌下来无所谓,一定不后悔,
在大的事都有我背(有我 Babeh)
只要说一声ok, 就跟我走
So take my hand and baby don’t let go

也许你也正在想着我,
You got me goin crazy, crazy, crazy, yea
如果我们在一起 ,做什么都愿意
Oh Baby baby baby

我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里
我的心,不会放弃
你是我唯一
Girl 这不是意外, 你是我的女孩
I can’t get my mind off ya, off ya
我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里
我的心,不会放弃
你是我唯一
Girl 这不是意外, 你是我的女孩
I can’t get my mind off ya, off ya(off my mind)

Oh 我要怎么对你说,(我要怎么对你)
到底要该 怎么做 ? (到底要该 怎么)
付出的够不够,
对你的感情太重~ 太重~(My Love)
我绝对不想放手

我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里
我的心,不会放弃
你是我唯一
Girl 这不是意外, 你是我的女孩
I can’t get my mind off ya, off ya, , off ya
我的爱,全都给你
我就在这里

I just want you to be my Baby
I want to see through your heart, but I can’t,
(For now,) can I hold your hand?

Perhaps you’re also thinking of me

If we’re together, I’m willing to do anything

I’ll be here
My heart, won’t give up
You are my one and only
Girl, this isn’t an accident. You are my girl

Waiting for you by Anson Hu (胡彦斌)
The oldest song of all of them, dating all the way back to 2004 (I believe it’s actually an insert song in the Taiwanese drama Love Contract). But no worries. It’s still good; incredibly beautiful, as expected for a song composed by the singer. It’s a nice contrast to all the bouncy songs in this medley: slow and sweet, like a lullaby~ ^^

Chinese Lyrics:
金色的舞鞋伴着音乐
Baby 你的眼睛是一弯深邃的湖水
忽明忽灰
掩藏着不可思议的美
让我眩晕像在悬崖边谁知一睁眼就不见
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you
Waiting for you (to) kiss me (in) the night
为何你cinderella 留给我一望无际的思念
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you
Waiting for you (to) come here to my dream
牵着你不断旋转一直到黑发成了银线
Waiting for you, waiting for you 直到永远

忽明忽灰
掩藏着不可思议的美
让我眩晕像在悬崖边谁知一睁眼就不见
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you
Waiting for you (to) kiss me (in) the night
为何你 Cinderella 留给我一望无际的思念
Waiting for you

Waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you~

Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you,
Waiting for you (to) kiss me (in) the night
为何你cinderella 留给我一望无际的思念
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you
Waiting for you (to) come here to my dream
牵着你不断旋转一直到黑发成了银线
Waiting for you, waiting for you
Waiting for you~

English translation:
Golden shoes accompanied by music,
Baby, your eyes are deep pools of water:
Suddenly clear, suddenly mysterious,
Hiding unbelievable beauty.
Just let me feel dizzy, like standing near the edge of a cliff.
Who knew that once I open my eyes, you’ll disappear?

Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you.
Waiting for you to kiss me (in) the night.
Cinderella, why did you leave me? I’m missing you so.
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you,
Waiting for you (to) come here to my dream.
I’ll lead you in an endless dance,
Until your black hair turns silver.
Waiting for you, waiting for you,
Until forever.

Suddenly clear, suddenly mysterious,
Hiding unbelievable beauty.
Just let me feel dizzy, like standing near the edge of a cliff.
Who knew that once I open my eyes, you’ll disappear?

Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you.
Waiting for you to kiss me (in) the night.
Cinderella, why did you leave me? I’m missing you so.
Waiting for you…

Waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you~

Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you.
Waiting for you to kiss me (in) the night.
Cinderella, why did you leave me? I’m missing you so.
Waiting for you, I’m waiting for you,
Waiting for you (to) come here to my dream.
I’ll lead you in an endless dance,
Until your black hair turns silver.
Waiting for you, waiting for you,
Waiting for you~
