I decided to do this because I’m tired of seeing shoddy translations floating around the web. I was going to edit my original post (the MV), but decided to just create a new one.
ENJOY!
EXO-K MAMA
KOR/ENG:
Careless, careless. Shoot anonymous, anonymous.
Heartless, mindless. No one. who care about me?
잃어버린 채 외면하는 것 같아 참을 수밖에 없어
In the forgetfulness, it seems you have turned away; I can only be patient,
눈을 감지만
although I close my eyes
마마! 이젠 내게 대답해줘 왜 사람들이 달라졌는지
Highness! Answer me now: why did mankind change?
아름다운 시절이라는게 존재하긴 했는지
If such a thing as a beautiful era ever did exist
이제 더는 사랑하는 법도 잊었고 배려하는 맘도 잃었고
Furthermore, the law of loving is forgotten, the heart of caring is lost;
등을 돌린 채로 살아가기 바쁜걸
everyone is busy living with their backs turned.
익명의 가면에 감췄던 살의 가득한 질시
An age old envy hidden behind an anonymous mask,
끝을 봐도 배고픈 듯한
still hungry, even with sight of the end.
이젠 만족해?
Are you fulfilled now?
* 우린 더 이상 눈을 마주 하지 않을까?
Will we no longer see eye to eye?
소통하지 않을까? 사랑하지 않을까?
Have no communication? No longer love?
아픈 현실에 다시 눈물이 흘러
In this painful reality, tears fall again.
바꿀 수 있다고 바꾸면 된다고 말해요 마마. 마마.
Tell us that we can change, that all we have to do is change, highness. Highness.
언젠가부터 우린 스마트한 감옥에 자발적으로 갇혀
Since some time ago, we’ve willingly confined ourselves in a “smart” prison.
0과 1로 만든 디지털에 내 인격을 맡겨
From 0 to 1, I’ve given the created “digital” responsibility for my identity,
거긴 생명도 감정도 따듯함도 없고 언어 쓰레기만
where there is no life, emotion, or warmth – just trash
나뒹구는 삭막한 벌판.
accumulating, a bleak wasteland.
날이 갈수록 외로움만 더해져
As the days pass, loneliness just grows.
우리가 인간일 수 밖에 없는 건 상처 받는 것. Yeah-
Our unavoidable humanity means to feel pain. Yeah-
만나고 손을 잡고 느끼며 함께 울고 웃고
To meet, hold hands; then in emotions, together: cry, laugh,
닮아가고 서로 연결돼.
Become alike, and be connected,
돌이키고 싶다면
If you want to heal.
* Repeat
Turnback!
죽고, 죽이고 싸우고 외치고. 이건 전쟁이 아니야.
Die, kill, fight, proclaim. This is not a war.
도와줘요 마마마마 마마마마 Turn back.
Help us highness, highness, highness, highness turnback.
깨닫게 마마마마 마마마마 Rolling back.
For realization highness, highness, highness, highness rolling back.
박고 치고 편을 나누고 싸우고 이건 게임도 아니야.
Take, hit, take sides, fight; this is not even a game.
도와줘요 마마마마 마마마마 Turn back.
Help us highness, highness, highness, highness turn back.
Yeah-
Careless, careless. (Highness) Shoot anonymous, anonymous. (Highness)
Heartless, mindless. (Highness) No one. Who care about me? (Highness)
삶에 허락된, 축복받은, 날들에 감사하고
Be thankful for the granted, blessed days of life,
매일 새로운 인연들을 만들고
make new ties everyday.
깨져버린 마음에 보다, 기쁜 사랑을 모두 함께
Rather than on broken hearts, if only we could focus on joyful love,
웃을 수 있다면
if only we could laugh together
* Repeat
Careless, careless. Shoot anonymous, anonymous.
Heartless, mindless. No one. who care about me?
