4jsis4 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I took this from tumblr because this translation was so beautiful and I think that all of you should read it. Hello — Story There’s so many versions of the story, to be honest. But basically, a girl third year in middle school was diagnosed with a terminal disease, and she really wanted to see TOP before she died. so she sent letters to him and stuff, but when TOP saw those letters, he didn’t think she was serious because so many fans feign things like that just to see him. Then later, when she got really ill or died, her relatives sent TOP a letter/video of the dying/dead girl. TOP apparently cried after he read/saw/watched the letter/video of the dying/dead girl and composed a song dedicated to her. — Meaning of the Lyrics How could this happen to me But even worse, how could this happen to you It began with a letter and was the beginning of pain I’m a tell it to you straight this part is essentially top’s lament on how she told him about it from the beginning (through letter) but he didnt listen. . My body is ill, but you don’t reply; sorry I’m sorry, bye- TOP. “My body is ill, but you don’t reply” is how TOP assumes the girl felt by his lack of response, and “sorry I’m sorry, bye” is how TOP thinks the girl assumed TOP to think. . Oh mom, What should I do mom A selfishness hotter than a fire torments me, Oh my God Oh mom, I promise mom, What can I do Now, I now, Oh my God, Oh my God “Mom” is an extended metaphor throughout the whole song, the “mom” representing God. When TOP asks “mom” for advice, he is asking God for advice. “I promise” implies that he will do what God tells him too, if God will tell him what he can do. . A desolate day, I receive a letter Your circumstances make me tear If my voice brightens your world Farther and farther, I’ll shout Nananana Nananana Do you hear my heavy heart Friend wipe your tears, I think you’re prettier when you smile Sorry I’m sorry, Oh my God This is when TOP finally saw/watched the letter/video from the girl’s relatives. He cried- “your circumstances make me tear.” Then he says that he will dedicate his songs and his voice to the girl if that can make her happy (and lively). The “sorry i’m sorry” here is quite different from the same line before, because whereas the “sorry i’m sorry” used before had a careless, “okay, yeah sure” tone to it, the “sorry i’m sorry” used here has a desperate cry to it. . Baby don’t cry, You may feel alone Don’t worry, It may be lonely but you’re not the only one Look beside you, you’re not alone Don’t cry, You stand vacantly alone Don’t worry, It may be lonely but you’re not the only one Look beside you, you’re not alone This is TOP encouraging the girl not to cry and not to feel alone because people [TOP] is there for her. . Life is funny, It’s a delicate play with fire Playful obstacles are life’s restraints. This part is very significant. TOP is talking about how he didnt think the girl’s first letter was real, because of the “playful obstacles” (i.e. other fan’s fake illnesses) in an indirect manner. . Keep your head up Continuation of TOP’s encouragement. . This is what TOP whispers in the middle (its never on any lyrics-sites for some reason): 어머님. 같은 사람이라 생각하니 가슴이 답답하고 무겁습니다 어쩌면 죽을지도 모릅니다. 웃음소리가 사라지지 않도록 지켜주십시오. meaning mom. My heart is burdened and heavy that she may die. Please protect her so that her laughters will not disappear. As i mentioned before, “mom” is “God.” the rest is self-explanatory: it’s a prayer. — so i talked way more than you wouldve liked me to. but my point is that yes, it was inspired by an event (a personal one, too) and yes, it’s a story of a dying/dead person. top is such a beautiful person. inside and out. just. UGH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I hope this answered your question, love (: idk. i just hate having to explain like. one part of the song. because everything is so much more meaningful as a whole. cr: toptopia@tumblr. brb...crying right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyisvip Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 ^ ^ i'm crying too i already thought the lyrics were meaningful before, but after reading all of that i realized there's an even deeper meaning to it. it just makes me love tabi even more. how can a guy come up with such beautiful, yet symbolic lyrics like that? Oh Mom will always have a special place in my heart, it is just that type of song that gets you. i really think he doesn't get enough credit for his song writing among the general public. i know gd's an amazing writer as well, but i hope that people acknowledge top as one too i've loved all the songs he's written so far (A Good Man, As If Nothing's Wrong, Of All Days, etc). it makes me speechless, my feelings for tabi are indescribable aha btw don't know if this was posted Album sales in Japan as of 3/30 BIGBANG 4th Mini Album Korean Export 10,009 Japan Edition Comes out 4/13 gtop's sales under the spoiler if you wanted to know GD&TOP AlbumKorean Export 6,231 Japan Edition 18,020 Total 24,251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pascale Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 GD is looking good in the fashion show. I'm happy because he seems less tired AND he is gaining weight little by little. I just don't wanna see him thin and that tired anymore. I saw the UV video with the boys lmao. GDAE trying hard not to laugh and turning their heads when you can still see them from the mirror lmao. My favorite part is when Taeyang is singing his part: "oh eh oh" UV guy added "Yu gi ro oh rae oh" instead lol. And the "simple and simol" part *dies of laughter. That was a good laugh thanks. On another side, they sound amazing without the music Dae <3333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimJongKookie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Aww "Oh Mom" translation was really touching to read. I hope she was encouraged by the song even though her situation is bad. Taeyang and GDs interviews were very insightful. I'm happy Bae is keeping a positive attitude about making music he likes. Yes even though sometimes its not exactly a "hit" in the Korean market; many international fans still love and appreciate it. Thats really sad to read about how "burdened" he was during his promotion. Though I really felt something was "off" during that time so its not that big of a surprise to be reading about it now. He just took it all to seriously and I think pressure weighed on him so much that he ended up not enjoying it as much as he should have. I'm glad hes back to happy Bae. Taeyang still giving "westernized" girls hope "GQ: Let’s think about that scene for a second. TY: I will ask her, “Do you like puppies?” Haha, because I love puppies too much." Is that all it takes? I'll go to a pet shop and buy every puppy in that place if it would make you happy. GQ: Can you explain further? Let’s say you will spend the night with that woman. What will happen? TY: ...I don’t know what to say. Please teach me. is he asking the woman to teach him or the interviewer? because I would be on the first flight to Korea if he needs instruction. " I watched a lot of music programs and it wasn’t the certain style of music, but the time spent on the whole song in general was too fast which made me feel a bit disappointed." -GD Agree. You can tell when a song is just thrown together with the main focus being the hook. Yes waiting is a richard simmons but I really love how BB songs have more depth to it than that.
