Jang Gi-ha, Part 2

Here's another song, this one from their second album. Another one that, despite pretty simple lyrics, isn't so easy to translate. Maybe none of them are. Enjoy!

I Watched TV



All the way till my eyes went bloodshot,
I watched TV. (Watched it.)
Ah, ah, ah,
Just sat n watched.

Those people on TV,
they're all happy and sad
Good talkers, too. (Good talkers.)
Ah, ah, ah,
real good talkers.

Whether it's a drama,
a talk show
Comedies,
no matter what. (No matter.)
Ah, ah, ah,
no matter what.

For that moment
while I'm doing it
I don't have a worry
in the world. (Not a one.)
Ah, ah, ah,
not a
worry
in the world.
But why,
in that tiny tiny instant
it takes
for the
credits
to pop up...
Or even
in the time it takes
to go
from one commercial
to the next
That little instant, so short
It's like
it's hardly there
Ah, ah, ah,
ah, ah, ah.

In the end,
till my eyes went bloodshot,
I just watched TV. (Watched it.)
Just sat and watched.

And when I watch,
Man, I laugh a lot. (A lot).
Ah, ah, ah,
quite a lot.

Even if the people on TV
tell jokes
that aren't really all that funny. (Those jokes.)
Ah, ah, ah,
still,
I laugh
a lot.

But why,
in that tiny tiny instant
it takes
for the
credits
to pop up...
I watch
and watch
and then there's nothing to watch anymore
So I switch the channels
up and down
Then once I turn it off
ah, ah, ah.
ah, ah, ah.
ah, ah, ah.
ah, ah, ah.

All the way till my eyes went bloodshot,
I watched TV. (Watched it.)
Just sat n watched.

Those people on TV,
they're all happy and sad
Good talkers, too. (Good talkers.)
Real good talkers.
