Here's the last in my brief series of translations of Jang Gi-ha and the Faces' stuff. This song is called "그렇고 그런 사이," which more or less means "A relationship that is just kind of ummm." The official title looks to be "Another Relationship," which makes it sound like the singer feels ambivalent about the relationship, perhaps because he's been in a long string of them or something. The feeling I get from the song, though, has more to do with the ambiguity and the awkwardness of trying to make the relationship status explicit. My Korean friends have told me that the lyrics are pretty vague, anyhow.
Note the fantastic video. The title says that there are English subs, but I don't see them. If they're there, I hope mine are better...
Because we're like that now, yeah, we are.

The sun came up blazing in the bright blue sky
The weather's the same as yesterday
but something feels a little different
Everything you've been enjoying
up until now
has vanished into thin air.
But even so,
it's not like you can just sit around crying.
You know?
Come on, I'm the same me
that you so so so wanted.
From this instant, all the things
that you've been hoping for
are going to happen, one by one.
Since I'm gonna give you
everything you want,
don't you head off
and start snooping around.
Since I can give you
everything you want,
don't even think about anything else,
even when you're asleep.
If you wanna know why, well, starting today,
Because you and me, you and me, yeah
if we're gonna put it into words, you and me,
we're like that now.
Because we're like that now, yeah, we are.
It is kinda weird to say it but
we're like that now, we are.
We're like that now.
Since I'm gonna give you
everything you want,
don't you head off
and start snooping around.
Since I can give you
everything you want,
don't even think about anything else
even when you're sleeping.
