TRAX - 아직은... 나 (I can Change)

One of the songs that would never leave my music player. I'm not sure but if I'm not mistaken, it's composed by the very own Jungmo. It's his fabulous and calming acoustic guitar playing in this song that captivated my heart at the first time. And when I listen to the lyrics... I fell harder for the song. Unfortunately, there's only one live performance for this song--and Jungmo just had to make it 'special' by playing piano instead of guitar. Gah. I want to see them perform this live--with Jungmo on acoustic guitar!

It's a kind of songs which no matter how hard you search for the English translation, you wouldn't find any. I've been searching for the existing translation for years, but all I found were just the romanization and a Vietnamese translation. Since I'm now on 2nd year of my major, I decided to give it a try on translating this. Turned out the lyrics were quite simple (yet so touching). So, enjoy. Remember to credit nizzarrahman.blogspot.com if you wanted to take this translation.

 

아직은... 나 (I can Change) - TRAX

있잖아 아까부터 내게 신경질적이잖아 그렇잖아

있잖아 아까부터 넌 생각나는대로 말하고 있잖아

난 하지만 그런 너와라도 웃을 수 있어

허름한 모습에도 나를 알아본 너

그래서 그런 니가 소중하니까

Girl I’m gonna try so hard

아직은 나 그대보다 더 부족할 수 도 있겠지만

난 달라질꺼야 너를 위해 확신할 수 있어 난 할 수 있어

oh 아직은 나 그대에게 해줄 수 있는 건 많진 않지만

이것만 알아줘 너를 위해 살아 갈거야

니 곁에 내가 없다고 내 안에 니가 없는 건 아냐 oh 아니야

어디에 있더라도 너를 위해 노력하는걸 알아줘

난 하지만 투정하는 너에게도 웃을 수 있어

허름한 모습에도 나를 알아본 너

그래서 그런 니가 소중하니까

Girl I’m gonna try so hard

아직은 나 그대보다 더 부족할 수 도 있겠지만

난 달라질꺼야 너를 위해 확신할 수 있어 난 할 수 있어

oh 아직은 나 그대에게 해줄 수 있는건 많진 않지만

이것만 알아줘 너를 위해 살아 갈거야

스쳐 지난 인연과 비굔 말아줘

난 니 곁에 머무를 꺼야 영원히

아직은 나 그대보다 더 부족할 수도 있겠지만

난 달라질꺼야 너를 위해 확신할 수 있어 난 할 수 있어

oh 아직은 나 그대에게 해줄 수 있는 건 많진 않지만

이것만 알아줘 Girl I’m gonna try so hard

Anytime anywhere for you

ENGLISH TRANSLATION by nizz

There's this thing; from the moment ago you were nervous like that

There's this thing; from the moment ago you were speaking anything came up your mind

But I'm still able to laugh with that kind of you

You, who can understand the shabby image me

Therefore, because that kind of you is very important

Girl I'm gonna try so hard

Still, I have more shortage than you, but

I will change for you, I'm sure I'm able to, I can do it

Oh still, the things I can give to you are not much, but

Please understand this, I will live my life for you

When I'm not beside you, it doesn't mean you are not inside of me, oh no

Wherever I am, I'm trying hard for you; please understand this

But I'm still able to laugh with the complaining you

You, who can understand the shabby image me

Therefore, because that kind of you is very important

Girl I'm gonna try so hard

Still, I have more shortage than you, but

I will change for you, I'm sure I'm able to, I can do it

Oh still, the things I can give to you are not much, but

Please understand this, I will live my life for you

Please don't compare with the past incidents

I will remain by your side, forever

Still, I have more shortage than you, but

I will change for you, I'm sure I'm able to, I can do it

Oh still, the things I can give to you are not much, but

Please understand this, Girl I'm gonna try so hard

Anytime anywhere for you
