Standing Egg - Stay Away (with Yeseul)

2nd Album LIKE



stay away stay away
너에게 들릴것 같아
neoege deulligot gatta
I feel like I will be heard by you
네곁에만 가면 나는소리
nigeottaeman kamyeon naneun sori
The sound that comes when I go near you
내심장이 날 보채는 소리
nae shimjangi nal bochaeneun sori
The whining sound my heart makes
stay away

이건 정말 아닌데
igeon jeongmal aninde
This shouldn't be so
많고많은 여자중에서 왜넌데
manko maneun yeoja joong-e wae neonde
Out of the many girls why you
아닐거야 수없이 다짐을해
anil geoya su-opseo dajimeulhae
It can't be, I tell myself repeatedly
하지만 네가 자꾸 여자로 보여
hajiman naege jakku yeojaro boyeo
But I still see you as a woman

키가 작은 남자는 싫어
kiga jakeun namjaneun shiloh
I don't like shorter men
나보다 말이 없는 남자도 싫어
naboda mal-i obneun namjado shiloh
I don't like quiet men
혹시라도 내맘을 너에게 들킬까봐 자꾸 반대로만 말하게돼
hokshirado naemaleun neo-e-ge deulkikkabwa jakku bandaeroman malhagedwae
Fearing that you will know my feelings, I keep saying the opposite things

stay away stay away
너에게 들릴것 같아
neo-e-ge deulligot gatta
I feel like I will be heard by you
네곁에만 가면 나는소리
nigeottaeman kamyeon naneun sori
The sounds that comes when I go near you
내심장이 날 보채는 소리
nae shimjangi nal bochaeneun sori
The whining sound my heart makes

stay away stay away
내맘을 알게된다면
nae mameul al ge dwendamyeon
If you know my feelings
우린 어색해질지도 몰라
oori eosaekhaejilhado molla
We might become awkward
다신 너를못볼지도 몰라
dashin neoreul mot bojido molla
I might not be able to look at you again
stay away

이건 정말 아닌데
igeon jeongmal aninde
This shouldn't be so
사람들은 너와내가 어울린대
saram deuleun neowanaega eowoollindae
Why do people say we look good together
말도안돼 우리는 친구인데 하지만 네가 자꾸 여자로 보여
maldoandwe oorineun chingu-inde nega jakku yeojaro boyeo
Absurd, we are just friends but I still see you as a woman

눈이 작은 남자는 싫어
nun-i jageun namjaneun shiloh
I don't like men with small eyes
나이가 나와 같은 남자도 싫어
na-iga nawa katteun namjaneun shiloh
I don't like men of my age
혹시라도 내맘을 너에게 들킬까봐 자꾸 반대로만 말하게돼
hokshirado naemameul neo-e-ge deulkilkkabwa jakku bandaeroman malhagedwe
Fearing that you will hear my feelings, I keep saying the opposite things

stay away stay away
너에게 들릴것 같아
neo-ege deullilgot katta
I feel like I will be heard by you
네곁에만 가면 나는소리
ni geottaeman kamyeon naneun sori
The sound that comes when I go near you
내심장이 날 보채는 소리
naeshimjang-i nal bochaeneun sori
The whining sound my heart makes

stay away stay away
내맘을 알게된다면

We might become awkward
다신 너를못볼지도 몰라
dashin neoreulboljido molla
I might not be able to look at you again
stay away

stay away stay away
이러다 들킬것같아
i-reoda deulkilgeot gatta
I can handle it still
귀를 막아도 들리는 소리
kwireul magado deullineun sori
The sound that I still hear even if I close my ears
숨길수록 커져가는 소리
soomgil surok keochyeoganeun sori
to better shut this sound that is getting bigger

stay away stay away
그냥 이대로도 좋아
keunyang i-daerodo cho-a
I just like it this way
친구도 나쁘진 않으니까
chingudo nappeujin a-neu-nikka
It's not bad being friends
이렇게 널볼수 있으니까
i-reoke neolbolsu i-sseu-nikka
Only can I face you this way
stay away

이건 정말 아닌데
i-geon jeongmal anin-de
This shouldn't be so
많고많은 여자중에서 왜넌데
manko maneun yeoja joong-eseo wae neon-de
Out of the many girls why you
안된다고 수없이 다짐을해 
andwendago su obseo dajimeulhae
It can't be, I tell myself repeatedly
하지만 네가 자꾸 여자로 보여
hajiman ni-ga jakku yeojaro boyeo
But I still see you as a woman
애교 많은 여자는 싫어
aegyo maneun yeojaneun shiloh
I don't like women who act cute
나보다 키가 더큰 여자도 싫
naboda kiga deo keun yeojado shiloh
I don't like women who are taller than me
혹시라도 내맘을 너에게 들킬까봐 자꾸 반대로만 말하게돼
hokshirado naemameul neo-e-ge deulkilkkabwa jakku bandaeroman malhagedwe
Fearing that you will know my feelings, I keep saying the opposite things

(This song is really nice, and the romance the song potrays is really cute. Yesuel is a talented singer whom is relatable to the listener:D)

Though the three vocalists carry distinctive qualities within their singing style, all are well suited for the jazz and R&B fusion Urban Zakapa embraces.

Urban Zakapa - Same Love Same Farewell



욕심에 점점 초라해지는
yokshime jeomjeom chorahaejineun
As I become more pitiful because of greed
붙잡으려 할수록 더 멀어지는
boot-jabeuryeo halsurok deo meolleojineun
Getting further as I try to hold on

지키려 할수록 지쳐만 가는
jikiryeo halsurok jichyeoman ganeun
Getting more exhausted as I try to protect you
그렇게도 허무하게 무너져내리는
keurokedo heomuhage muneojyeonaerineun
As I crumble down emptily

*무엇을 위해 사랑을 하고
mueotseul wihae sarangeul hago
Why do we love?
무엇을 위해 또 이별을 하고
mueotseul wihae ddo yibyeoleul hago
Why do we say goodbye?
그렇게 또 다른 만남과 또 다른 사랑에
keuroke ddo dareun mannamgwa ddo dareun sarang-e
With different relationships and different loves
똑같이 아파, 늘 같은 이별하면서
ddokgattchi apa, neul gattaeun i-beol hamyeonseo
It still hurts the same as I say the same farewell

잃게 될까봐 늘 불안해하는
il-ke dweolkkabwa neul bulanhaehaneun
Getting nervous as I might lose you
상처받은 내 모습이 무뎌져가는
sangchoba'd'eun nae moseubi mudyeojyeoganeun
Becoming numb as I receive scars

이번만은 정말 다를 거라는
i-beonmaneun jeongmal dareul georineun
It will be different this time
헛된 바램을 가지고 또 믿음을 주는
hotdweon baraemeul gajigo mideumeul juneun
Having the useless hope and giving my trust again

*Repeat

Why do we, Why we fall in love 
Why do we, Why we fail in love

*Repeat

욕심에 점점 초라해지는
yokshim-e jeomjeom chorahaejineun
As I become more pitiful because of greed
붙잡으려 할 수록 더 멀어지는
bootjabeuryeo hal surok deo meolleojineun
Getting further as I try to hold on

Brave Guys - Profile

(Disclaimer - I know Brave Guys is not an indie band, nor are they full-time music artistes, but they have REAL talent, and I really enjoy their songs. It is a pity not many people knew they released an album...)




Brave Guys started out as a segment on Gag Concert, only to gain increasing popularity with the general public as the progress on to charm them not only with their humour, but with their music as well. Although the songs created were meant to be parodies at first (ie I Don Care), they became hit songs, and this pushed the four-member team to fund a record of their own. With the release of their first (and last) album, AtoZ, Brave Guys left their impact on the Korean music industry, not as comedians, but as musicians. 

Members:

Shin Bora

(17 March, 1987)
  • Was once a member of three-membered gospel group, Heritage Mass Choir. She was with the group for four years, since 2007.
  • Debuted as a comedienne in Gag Concert in 2010
  • Has contributed to several OSTs, with the most recent one being "Crying with Longing" for Ghost (2012)
Park Sung Gwang


(15 August, 1981)
  • Nicknamed as "The Bad Guy of Gag Concert" (lit.)
  • Once acted in a drama : Acted as Kim Daesung in Poseidon (2011)
  • Currently having the role of Kim representative in Gag Concert's frequent segment, "King of Viewership Ratings" --- he is real funny
  • Is also the CEO of Park Sung Gwang Kimchi, his own kimchi company
Jung Taeho (Leader)


(31 March 1978)
  • Debuted as a comedian in tvn's "Comedy X-1" in 2007
  • Because of his late debut at his early 30s, he is older than a lot of his seniors
  • Is the leader of the group because he is the oldest
  • Is currently Mdm Jung in Gag Concert's frequent segment, "Mdm Jung"
Yang Seon Il

(I'm sorry I couldn't find a better resolution picture ><)

(22 February 1979)
  • Debuted as a comedian on Gag Concert in 2007
  • Was not one of the singing members in the original segment "Brave Guys", but was included in the album making and other songs
  • Once obtained "Hot Gagman" award in 5th MNET 20's Choice
  • Got married in October 2012
I really really really want them to come out with another album... Even if you are skeptical of them because they are comedians, do give them a shot and I promise you you will NOT be disappointed. And Shin Bora's vocals are not to be messed with.
