Learn Korean with KPop #2: Happy by 2NE1 {HANGEUL+ROMANIZATION+ENGLISH}

This series has proven to be successful so I decided to keep up with it. The first one can be read here.

I found the music video of 2NE1's new song HAPPY after watching their other recently released song Come back home. Both songs are from their newly released album Crush. The M/V told the story of lost love in a carefree, cheerful and cute way without losing the hip-hop concept of the group. The video also featured Artwork by Mina Kwon whom I adore. Seriously her Art is inspiring and different. If you know me, you know I like different. Check out the video below....

Hangeul Lyrics

[CL]

가끔은 내 생각할까

아님 너무 희미해

그 의미조차 어색해

널 보낸 후로 매일매일

홀로 지난 시간에

집착해 이제 초라해

 [Minzy] 

혹시 부담이 됐다면

내가 짐이 됐다면

진작 떠나야 했어 미안해

나 땜에 힘들었는지

많이 불편했는지

바보처럼 눈치도 못 챈 채

[Dara]

OH NO I DIDN’T CRY CRY CRY 

어차피 누굴 원망해봤자 

달라질 건 없어 다 끝이니까 

널 위한 슬픈 BYE BYE BYE 

내가 없어야 행복하니까 

OOH OOH

 [Bom]

너 없이 I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY  

멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게 너 없이 

I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY  

모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채

 [Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘  

[Minzy] I Hope you’re H A P P Y   

[Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘

[Minzy] I Wish you’re H A P P Y

[CL]

I thought we had it together but well…. 

난 노력했어 in every way 

밤낮을 샜어 널 기다릴 땐 

나란 여자 안에서 사랑 안에서 

행복하지 않단 너의 말 WAIT  

제대로 먹었어 POW 

너무 아파 내 맘 OUCH 

Thought you was happy but you turned me out 

Cool한 척 하느라 참은 눈물이 널 향한 내 진실된 맘

[Minzy] 

아쉽기라도 했다면  

미련이 남았다면  

이렇게 차갑진 못할 텐데  

사랑하기는 했는지  

다 거짓이었는지  

바보처럼 눈치도 못 챈 채

 [Dara]

OH NO I DIDN’T CRY CRY CRY 

어차피 누굴 원망해봤자 

달라질 건 없어 다 끝이니까 

널 위한 슬픈 BYE BYE BYE 

내가 없어야 행복하니까 

OOH OOH

[Bom] 

너 없이 I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY 

멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게 

너 없이 I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY 

모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채  

[Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘  

[CL] I Hope you’re H A P P Y                                                                                

 [Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘

 [CL] I Wish you’re H A P P Y

너라도 행복해야 HAPPY ENDING 

나 비꼬는 거 아냐 다 진심인 거 알아줘 

너라도 행복해야 HAPPY ENDING 

나 비꼬는 거 아냐 다 진심인 거 알아줄래

[Bom]

너 없이 I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY  

멀리서 난 널 지켜볼게  

너 없이 I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 

YOU’RE HAPPY  

모든 기억들은 뒤로한 채

  

[Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘  

[Dara] I Hope you’re H A P P Y                                                                              

[Bom] 행복하게 날 잊고 살아줘

[Dara] I Wish you’re H A P P Y

English

[CL] 

Do you think of me sometimes? 

Or is it too faint now? 

The meaning itself is awkward 

After I let you go, every  single day.  

I am alone Obsessive and miserable

[Minzy]

If I was a burden  
If I was  baggage  
I should have left earlier I’m sorry

It was hard because of me, right?  
Were you really uncomfortable?
I was like a fool and couldn’t even take a hint

 [Dara]  

OH NO I DIDN’T CRY CRY CRY  
Even if I hate someone  
Nothing will change since it’s over

The sadness over you BYE BYE BYE  
Since you need to be without me to be happy  
OOH OOH

[Bom]    

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY
I’ll watch over you from afar  

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY  
After putting all memories behind

[Bom]  Live happily and forget me  
[Minzy] I Hope you’re H A P P Y  
[Bom] Live happily and forget me  
 [Minzy] I Wish you’re H A P P Y

[CL]

I thought we had it together but well….
 

I tried in everyway  
I stayed up all day and night waiting for you  
You said you were unhappy with a girl like me, with a love like ours 
WAIT It felt like a blow POW 
I hurt so much OUCH  

Thought you was happy but you turned me out.
Trying to be cool I held in my tears which are my true feelings  

[Minzy]
  

If you had missed it a little  
If you had any regrets  
I bet you wouldn't have been so cold to me

Did you love me at all?
Or was it all lies?  
I couldn’t even take a hint

 [Dara]

OH NO I DIDN’T CRY CRY CRY  
Even if I hate someone  
Nothing will change since it’s over

The sadness over you BYE BYE BYE  
Since you need to be without me to be happy  
OOH OOH

[Bom]    

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY
I’ll watch over you from afar  

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY  
After putting all memories behind
   

[Bom] Live happily and forget me  
[CL] I Hope you’re H A P P Y  
[Bom] Live happily and forget me  
[CL] I Wish you’re H A P P Y

You need to be happy 
at least for a HAPPY ENDING
I’m not being sarcastic 
I want you to know this is the truth

You need to be happy 
at least for a HAPPY ENDING
I’m not being sarcastic I want you to know I mean it.

 [Bom]  

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY  
I’ll watch over you from afar  

Without you I’M NOT HAPPY BUT I HOPE 
YOU’RE HAPPY  
After putting all memories behind

[Bom] Live happily while forgetting me  
[Dara] I Hope you’re H A P P Y  
[Bom] Live happily while forgetting me  
[Dara] I Wish you’re H A P P Y
