I really like this music video and song even though I couldn't understand much at first. Boy, I wish I had chosen to live in South Korea instead of this place! What is it about Korean men that makes me so gooey inside? My friend JujuJamz introduced me to this song. She found it strangely addictive and I can completely understand why. They are a set of cute 'bad boys' :) with nice voices to woo me in 한국어 (Korean).
I've grown bored of the mainstream music. I search for things in other languages. I think people who live their entire lives in an environment with only one language miss out on more than 50% of probable life experiences. The language of a country exposes us to the way the people of that country think and experience things. On the contrary, this song by Big Bang, 'Bad boy' doesn't teach me anything new about South Korea. Take a look at the translated lyrics below. The song is basically about a guy who thinks he's a bad boy, so he treats the girl like crap, then expects that her love for him will remain. However after she leaves he begs for her to stay. Just crazy. I guess it tells me that some South Korean boys aren't much smarter than western boys (even though they study so hard in school, haha).
I was too harsh that night
I didn't know you would really leave
The words, “I’m sorry”, is too difficult for us that we take it to the end
Because I’m ill-tempered
We fight over stupid things numerous times a day
You take off crying, I look around and think,
‘She’ll come back tomorrow. She’ll definitely call me first in the morning’

Baby, I can’t, I’m so bad that I want to be good to you but it’s hard
Every day and night I’m so mean cuz I’m so real so I’m sorry (but I can’t change)
Every day and night I’m so mean cuz I’m so real so I’m sorry (but I can’t change)
I’m the one you love but sorry I’m a bad boy
Yes, just leave me, good bye, you’re a good girl
The more time passes, the more you get to know me, only disappointments will remain but
Baby don’t leave me, I know you still love me
Why, yes, I’ll tell you the truth, I need you
My lay lay lay lay lady
My lay lay lay lay lady
Yes, just leave me, good bye, you’re a good girl

Baby don’t leave me, I know you still love me
Why, yes, I’ll tell you the truth, I need you
My lay lay lay lay lady
My lay lay lay lay lady
You say that I’m different than other guys so it’s hard
You’re still like a young girl with a soft heart
For you, who is always smiling next to me, I’m still too young
With the excuse that I’m busy, I postpone our date
Because I’m sorry, because I’m frustrated, I turn my head
The bride in my dreams is just a friend now
Upset over the breakup, we are silent
You’re still like a young girl with a soft heart
