JeJung YuChun - Shelter
(Lyrics)
Romanisation
Kaze wo nurasu ame yokeru you ni
Boku wa shelter kara kimi wo miteru
Itoshii omoi wa afureru noni
I wonder why...
Suki ni natte ii no? Dakishimete ii no?
Fuan no shizuku ni oboresou de
Karehateru jibun ga yurusenakute
I wonder why...
Yeah, listen now:
Always an early riser, bathe in the morning sun, time for your coffee
Haters, you haters, every story of mine is always a matter, now no doubts
You don't even know what you did wrong, so how is there a way to stop
The personal things so maybe I can finally get this one
Relations, related to,
Rewind it to reload it
This heart, opened up and naked to fix this regret
So that we can make it happen in the future again
I'm supposed to nourish you but I can't even see our memory
Deatta toki ni my girl
Kitto kou naru to shitteta
Do you feel me?
Sagashiteta kimi dake wo
Iki ga dekinakute my world
Kotoba mo namida ni natteku
Do you feel me?
Mune wo utsu ame no oto
Itsumo kimi wo egao ni shitai noni
Gomen utsumukasete demo matteite
Akiramenaide ai wo boku no soba ni ite
I need your love...
My dear baby,
Listen to this song
I'm gonna make some desperate first call
The fear I've torn up, oh no, waiting for so long
Hold on, it belongs to no one, you didn't discover your loved one
Win or lose, there's no freakin' loving one, that's just-a-ah
I need your love, I'm bleeding,
No, time goes so fast, I didn't know
Just hold my hand, don't forget me, just forgive me, how hard of me,
You know it all means: so stay with me
I'm sorry girl, one day we'll finally make our love beautiful
Te wo nobashitara my girl
Motto tsutawaru to shinjite
Do you feel me?
Kizuato wo nokoshite mo
Kimi no iru basho ga my world
Mata tobira wo hiraitara
Do you feel me?
Kanjitai kimi no oto
Oh goddamn,
So baby, time will tell
We go around, we're recognizing, right
Only time will tell if our love will go on
No apologies, I gotta be mean
Maybe in time we'll know this life depends on love
Memories of you and I, don't compare
Maybe in time we'll know this life depends on love
So, baby time will tell, wonder why...

Translation
To avoid getting wet as the wind blows the rain,
I'm watching you from my shelter
My love for you overflows but
I wonder why...
Is it alright for me to love you? Is it alright if I hold you?
It seems I'm going to drown in these drops of uncertainty
I'm wasting away and I can't forgive myself for that
I wonder why...
Yeah, listen now:
Always an early riser, bathe in the morning sun, time for your coffee
Hater, you haters, every story of mine is always a matter, now no doubts
You don't even know what you did wrong, so how is there a way to stop
The personal things so maybe I can finally get this one
Relations, related to,
Rewind it to reload it
This heart, opened up and naked to fix this regret
So that we can make it happen in the future again
I'm supposed to nourish you but I can't even see our memory
When we met, my girl
I knew it would be like this
Do you feel me?
I've been searching only for you
I can't even breathe in my world
Words just become tears
Do you feel me?
The sound of the rain falling touches my heart
I want to always make you smile but
I've made you hang your head, I'm sorry
But keep waiting for me,
Don't give up on love, stay here with me
I need your love...
My dear baby,
Listen to this song
I'm gonna make some desperate first call
The fear I've torn up, oh no, waiting for so long
Hold on, it belongs to no one, you didn't discover your loved one
Win or lose, there's no freakin' loving one, that's just-a-ah
I need your love, I'm bleeding,
No, time goes so fast, I didn't know
Just hold my hand, don't forget me, just forgive me, how hard of me,
You know it all means: so stay with me
I'm sorry girl, one day we'll finally make our love beautiful
If you just stretch out your hand, my girl
I believe you'll be able to understand more
Do you feel me?
Even if it leaves scars
Wherever you are, that place is my world
If you open the door once more
Do you feel me?
I want to feel your sound
Oh goddamn,
So baby, time will tell
We go around, we're recognizing, right
Only time will tell if our love will go on
No apologies, I gotta be mean
Maybe in time we'll know this life depends on love
Memories of you and I, don't compare
Maybe in time we'll know this life depends on love
So, baby time will tell, wonder why...
Rap Note & Translator's Notes
If I have trouble hearing in the future, I'm blaming the rap in this song XD I don't even know how many times I listened with my earphones on max volume. I'm sure some of it's correct and some of it's completely off but I tried ^^;; If anyone has thoughts/suggestions, go for it! I really hope the rap lyrics will be included in the booklet but considering what's happened with other Engrish rap parts (Yunho's rap in Purple Line comes to mind), I rather doubt we'll get official lyrics for it. As usual, thank you for reading all this <33>
To avoid getting wet as the wind blows the rain
I think this line is interesting. I tried to keep it somewhat literal but I felt it was more about emphasizing how hard it's raining. More literally, the first part of this line would be 'the rain-soaked wind.' In English, it sounds a little odd, but it also makes some sense, yes? Think torrential rain. And this is just a random comment, but I found it interesting that this verse has this image of pouring rain and also uses 'afureru' (to overflow), a word usually associated with water/liquid of some sort, to describe his feelings. (Please pardon dorky moments like these XD)
It seems I'm going to drown in these drops of uncertainty
I'm wasting away and I can't forgive myself for that
More water-related fun. Because listening to Japanese music for long periods of time tends to make my English fail a bit, I've had some serious issues trying to figure out if these lines even work in English ^^;; The drops/droplets of uncertainty are in reference to the two concerns voiced in the previous line (and possibly to some unspoken ones as well). The next line, 'karehateru jibun ga yurusenakute' is a little akward in translation, so I'm sorry about that. Karehateru (to wither away, to exhaust, to waste away, etc) isn't often used in reference to people, so I struggled with what to do with it here. I'm not sure of this but I think it might be used here partly to provide contrast to all the water imagery that's shown up thus far. I was also just struck by a thought (while typing this up!) that maybe this is even referencing the fact that he's safe from the storm. This is me going out on a limb but if anyone has any thoughts on any of this, please share! I swear, songs that use lots of contrasting imagery really make me want to do like.. literary analysis on them, it's kind of bad ^^;;;
I want to always make you smile but
I've made you hang your head, I'm sorry
I left these two lines pretty literal but just thought I'd clarify a bit. The important part here is that what's actually happened is opposite the desired result. 'utsumuku' (to look down, to hang one's head) is in the causative form (meaning someone's been made to do so) and I translated it literally but the idea is that he's made her sad/upset instead of happy and smiling.
