Donutman – Family Business

Verse 1)
I vaguely remember when I was a child
My grandmother used to put ham on the dinner table
My mom and dad were at work and only returned
at about 7PM, so at home were me, my grandmother, my younger sister

난 어렴풋이 기억해 내가 어렸을때
우리 할머니가 차려줬던 밥상에 햄
엄마아빠는 회사가서 일곱시쯤에
돌아오셔 우리집에는 나하고 할머니 여동생

In our ten-pyeong home I lied down and stretched out my legs
On the weekends we always drove somewhere with my dad’s Sonata
I liked catching fan mussels in the mudflat
Mom and I sat down together and put salt on them

열평짜리 집에서 발뻗고 누웠네
주말엔 아빠 쏘나타타고 놀러갔지 매일
내가 좋아했던건 갯벌에서 잡는 키조개
엄마랑 나는 앉아서 같이 소금뿌렸네

Behind us, dad would take out a This Plus and start smokin’
I used to watch the cigarette smoke, mesmerized by it
It disperses up in the sky, the dust from Seoul,
I brush it off together with the cigarette smoke and return to Seoul City

아빠는 뒤에서 this plus 꺼내 smokin’
난 신기하게 쳐다보곤했어 담배 연기
저 하늘위로 흩어져 서울서 묻은 먼지
담뱃재와 함께 털어내고 다시 돌아가 서울시

On my way back home I listen to Cho Yongpil in the car
I don’t like the boring lyrics, but I know all of them by heart
[x_extra info=”popover” title=”Reference” info_trigger=”hover” info_place=”top” info_content=”Cho Yongpil – 단발머리 (Short Hair)”]’Short hair, she has short hair'[/x_extra]
On that day too I fell asleep singing along to the same song

집에 돌아갈때면 차안에선 조용필
따분한 노래가사 싫다면서 다 외웠지
‘단발머리 그녀는 단발머리’
그날도 같은 노랠 따라 부르면서 잠들었지

Verse 2)
Now I am twenty-four, and I make music
My grandmother who used to cook for me is in heaven
My mom still works late at an office
Every morning, my younger sister leaves on a plane

이제 내 나이는 스물넷, 그리고 음악해
밥차려주시던 할머니는 하늘나라에
엄마는 여전히 회사에서 일해 밤늦게
또 매일 아침마다 비행기 타고서 떠나는 여동생

Dad has sold his Sonata. He’s become a CEO and drives a Benz
Not a Benz anyone can drive but a f*ckin’ S-Class
Baby baybee, baby baybee
My whole family works hard err-day

아빠는 쏘나타팔고 사장님이 돼서 끌어 benz
개나 소나다 타는거 말고 f*ckin’ S-CLASS
Baby baybee, baby baybee
우리 가족은 모두다 빡세게 일해 err-day

That’s why we rarely see each other these days
Once a month we eat beef at home
My mom cooks doenjang soup with rib eye of the highest quality
She bought it hearing that I would be home

그래서 요즘엔 서로 얼굴도 자주 못보네
한달에 한번씩 집에서 먹어 소고기
엄마가 끓인 된장국에다 투쁠 꽃등심
내가 집에 온단소리 듣고서 사노셨지

Mama loves me, mama loves me
From one point on her long hair had become short
Short hair, mom has short hair
Today too I fell asleep singing along to the same song

Mama loves me, mama loves me
언제부턴가 긴 생머리가 짧아졌지
단발머리 엄마는 단발머리
오늘도 같은 노랠 따라부르면서 잠들었지
