[K-pop] “Shaky Friendship” / Hong, Kyung-min

Korean Lyrics & English Translation

• 아냐 이게 아닌데
  Nope, not this
• 왜 난 자꾸만 친구의 여자가 좋을까
  Why do I keep liking my friend’s girl?
• 이러면 안되지 하면서
  Saying I can’t do this
• 왜 내맘 속엔 온통 그녀 생각뿐일까
  Why do I only think of her in my mind?

• 친구 몰래 걸려 온 그녀의 전화가
  Her phone call without friend’s knowledge
• 난 왜 이리도 설레일까
  Why am I so excited
• 냉정하게 거절하면 되는데
  I just have to coldly reject her
• 왜 난 그녀를 거절하지 못할까
  Why can’t I reject her
• 정말 난 미치겠어
  I’m really going crazy
• 나도 나를 잘 모르겠어
  I don’t even know myself

• 오랜 친구와의 우정을 외면한 채
  Ignoring the friendship of an old friend
• 여자 땜에 흔들리는 게
  The thing that shakes because of a woman
• 너무나 괴로워
  It hurts so much
• 나만 포기하면 되는데
  Only I just have to give up

• 왜 난 고민할 가치도 없는 일을
  that aren’t even worth worrying about
• 이렇게 고민하고 있는지
  Why am I worrying about it like this

• 미안해 내 친구야
  Sorry my friend
  잠시 너를 기만했던 걸
  that I deceived you for a while
• 지금까지 너에 대한 내 우정이
  Until now my friendship with you
• 아직도 좀 모자란가 봐
  I guess I’m still a bit lacking

• 이해해 줘 내 친구야
  Understand me my friend
• 잠시 흔들렸던 우정을
  A friendship that was shaken for a while
• 누군가가 너와 나의 친구사일
  Between you and my friend
• 질투해 시험했던 거라
  Someone was jealous and tested it
• 그렇게 생각해 줘
  Think of it like that

• 뭐야 정말 이게 뭐야
  What really, what is this
• 왜 하필 난 친구의 여자가 좋을까
  Why do I like my friend’s girl
• 이러면 안되는 줄 알면서
  Knowing that this shouldn’t be the case
• 왜 난 자꾸 그녀에게 끌리는 걸까
  Why am I always drawn to her?

• 친구와 그녀가 다퉜다는 얘길 듣고
  When I heard that she quarreled with my friend
• 왜 내가 웃는 걸까
  Why am I laughing
• 말도 안돼는 상상을 하며
  Imagining what doesn’t make no sense
• 헛된 기댈 왜 난 자꾸하는 것일까
  Why do I keep holding on to vain expectations?

• 정말 난 모르겠어
  I really don’t know
• 이런 내 자신이 싫었어
  I didn’t like myself like this
• 내 욕심만 채우려
  Just to fill my greed
• 우정을 잠시 망각했던
  for forgetting friendship for a while
• 내 자신이 싫었어
  I hated myself

• 너무나 괴로워
  So much painful
• 마치 죄를 짓는 것 같아
  It’s like I’m sinning
• 이젠 모든 걸 다 잊고
  I have to forget everything
• 난 친구 곁으로 돌아가야 하겠어
  and I got to go back to my friend

• 미안해 내 친구야
  Sorry my friend
• 잠시 너를 기만했던 걸
  that I deceived you for a while
• 지금까지 너에 대한 내 우정이
  Until now my friendship with you
• 아직도 좀 모자란가 봐
  I guess I’m still a bit lacking

• 이해해 줘 내 친구야
  Understand me my friend
• 잠시 흔들렸던 우정을
  A friendship that was shaken for a while
• 누군가가 너와 나의 친구사일
  Between you and my friend
• 질투해 시험했던 거라
  Someone was jealous and tested it
• 그렇게 생각해 줘
  Think like that

Story of K-pop

This is the song that made Hong Kyung-min the Ricky Martin of Korea.

‘Shake Friendship’ is the title track of Hong Kyung-min’s 3rd album, released in June 2000.

The original version was arranged in a strong Latin version. In fact, the Euro remix version with a techno atmosphere is much more familiar to us than the original version, and the song’s perfection is high.
