G-Dragon – 'Without You (결국)' Lyrics Translated

Love is painful all the love is painful 
Repeating like an idiot. That’s what I always do.
But pain is beautiful It’s same as you

Hope turned to disappointment, expectation turned to despair.
The pain gets even deeper when the love is deepened.
It must be different this time...  desire or delusion. uh

At last... how many years have passed, nothing's everlasting.
At last... isn't it meant to be a destiny, I'm all alone again.
I believed that I finally found the real love.
At last... at last... it was over just like this.

My heart hasn't changed, but it's filled with scars for you.
My feelings toward you is fading as your tone of voice grew colder.
The distance between us is getting farther apart.
And we keep spinning at the same spot without passion.
It's too hard. Let me say goodbye. I’m fallin’ without you

At last... who's fault was it, love doesn't exist.
At last... stars going down, I fell asleep for exhaustion.
Is this the end of our relationship?
At last... at last... are we back to strangers to each other?

My heart hasn't changed, but it's filled with scars for you.
My feelings toward you is fading as your tone of voice grew colder.
The distance between us is getting farther apart.
And we keep spinning at the same spot without passion.
It's too hard. Let me say goodbye. I’m fallin’ without you

Let’s go
Didn't notice at first and probably felt free without her.
You would be grateful to her once time passes by. 
maybe didn't know about yourself, you were so sure you could live by yourself without her.
tomorrow would be differ from today, missing you as much as I suffer.
I hope it would be changed as time goes by.
For you my baby.

My heart hasn't changed, but it's filled with scars for you.
I'm getting cooled off by your cold voice.
I say goodbye and turn myself off from you because it's too hard to change our relationship, keep turning around same spot.your mind.  
I’m fallin’ without you. ye I’m fallin’ without you hey...

ye I’m fallin’ without you..

G-DRAGON – 'THE XX' Translated Lyrics

그XX (그새끼) – The XX, 'That jerky bastard.' 
This isn't a title song, either.
Written by G-Dragon, Teddy 
Composed by Teddy, G-Dragon, Seo Won Jin  
Produced by Teddy

By accident, I saw your man on the street (Yea I saw him)
That confirms the intuition I had (I told you)
Arm in arm with another woman, he didn't wear the ring that you gave him.
I'll stop talking about it now. (I don't wanna hurt you)
But now, you are rather mad at me? (Why?)
You say he would never act like that (Sure you're right)
To consider your feelings, then...I must be wrong, I'll lie to you (I'm sorry)

*Oh I resent that you ignore my feelings toward you.
I hate waiting. Please let him go.
I feel like I'm going to die whenever I see you in sorrow. baby.
What part of me is not as good as that bastard? 
Why can't I have you?
That bastard don't love you.
How long are you going to cry because of him.
You look happy whenever you're talking about him (You look happy)
I'm happy to see you happy. (I'm happy)
You say how much you love him and believe that love will be forever.
I don't know what to say no more.
All your friends know him well. (Yup they know)
This is so obvious but why can't you see it? (It's you)
They say love is blind. Oh baby you so blind.
I hope you break up with him.

*repeat
Luxury cars, beautiful clothes and high-end restaurants fit you.
But that bastard next to you doesn't fit you.
I'm so sure that he is thinking about other woman while pretending to smile at you and touching your cheek and hair. 
How could he do that? I think that's a sin.
I'll be good for you as much as the amount of the tears you had to shed for him. Baby
Do you mind to share your pain with me? Baby.
Please look at me. How come you don't know that your love is me.
Why don't you know?
*repeat

G-Dragon is Heracles In The 'One Of A Kind' M/V

G-Dragon with tiger skin reminded me of Heracles – the greatest hero of ancient Greek mythology. Like Heracles, hope GD can get over his ordeals and reach the top of the top.

It's just like the way Heracles brings the skin of the 'Nemean Lion' on his shoulder after killing the monster for the first of his 'Twelve Labors'.

Hercules wrestling the Nemean Lion
Hercules wearing the lion skin
When Hercules got to Nemea and began tracking the lion, he discovered his arrows were useless against the monster. He picked up his club and went after the lion. Grasping the lion in his arms, he held it tightly until he'd choked it to death. Heracles is said to have lost a finger in the struggle.

'One Of A Kind' – Two Thoughts on What GD Wants To Talk About in His New Song & M/V

Probably many of you already know about this, but still let's try to understand the relationship in South Korea between the entertainment industry and the media. As usual, there are companies that want to dominate the market and maximize their profit. This leads and has led to their making dirty deals and has, of course, produced many victims, too.
Because it has become, so called, the 'custom,'  facts can be relative, and dark truths buried.

YG Entertainment badly disrupts the usual order in the industry. YG refuses to follow any of these shitty 'customs,' – doesn't lobby, for example, to entertainment reporters or big broadcasting companies' producers.

The results are obvious.
There are almost no real time, up-to-date, reports about YG artists in major Korean media outlets when they are doing well or when they engage in any positive activities. And despite the artists popularity and recognition, you can hardly detect enthusiasm from media reports, either. Inevitably, as if it's a law, any negative incidents involving YG artists incite everyone to be all over them ferociously, to tear them apart - this is not only one person's opinion--there is evidence galore. Hard to believe? No, it's common knowledge.

First Thought: He is singing about the painful reality of his current status and unfavorable reputation in Korea, and he is appealing to the public for love. It's heartbreaking to GD & Bigbang's fans.

Second Thought: Rather than adjust his conduct to meet his critics objections, he is exaggerating everything they hate about him. And essentially telling them to go to hell. 

Let's take a look at a part of the lyrics.
2:04 The scoundrel GDragon has been dropped into this filthy and dark place after being beaten up. 
Lyrics: Lalala. Please be open-hearted to me (예쁘게 좀 봐주세요)
2:08 His heart is stabbed His feeling's hurt.
Lyrics: Please don't curse me (욕하지 말아주세요)
2:10 For once, take off your glasses that are tinted with prejudice about GD. 
2:11 The real GD is an ordinary young guy... or 'Will this satisfy you?'
Lyrics: Lalala. Please be generous to me (귀엽게 받아주세요)
2:13 Even flattering the public... or just saying, 'screw you' in lovely way.
             Lyrics: Please love me (사랑해주세요)
