Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hello!

Last week was warm, but unfortunately, it's a bit colder this week.

Ah, there's a Korean word for this: '꽃샘추위' (kkochsaemchui).

It means the cold comes back because it's jealous of the flowers – it's the last cold snap of the year.

Right?

That's what's happening now, and it usually comes in March.

I'm super hungry, so I'm going to grab lunch first.

Let's go!

On my way to Sinsa Station.

I can't wait, I need to eat! I can't even film.

I'm so hungry.

Excuse me, sir. (to the restaurant owner)

Please don't be embarrassed.

I think I've been coming to this restaurant for about four years. I come so often that the owner and I are friends, haha.

It's a traditional Korean restaurant with lots of side dishes, and it's very delicious for a great price.

It looks like a small RV.

Looks like an ice cream shop.

This is probably for White Day.

White Day is…

For white people… haha (just kidding!)

White Day is similar to Valentine's Day, but it's the day men give gifts to women.

And in Korea, on Valentine's Day, women give chocolate to men.

So there are holidays for both men and women.

So this is probably for the women.

OMG, I want to be a woman too! I want that chocolate.

Yeah, haha.

(Sniffing)

I found this!

It says "Beauty Mirror" and if you stand here, makeup appears on your face.

I don't wear that much makeup, haha.

You try it.

Not bad?

Ugly!

What is this?

Weird.

Look, my eyeliner is messed up.

Go girl!

A few days later…

Hello~

Today is my grandfather's birthday, so I'm going to his house.

Well, not his house exactly, I'm going to that area to have lunch with him.

So I need to take a bus there… Which province is it?

Chungcheong Province.

It's the central region of Korea.

It's 9:30, we need to catch our bus for real.

I had to run.

I almost missed it.

Does it take about an hour and 30 minutes?

It takes an hour and 30 minutes, and then we have to transfer to another bus.

So it's a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Cheongju.

We've arrived at the Cheongju Bus Terminal, and now we need to transfer to another bus.

But first…

Wow, there are so many snacks!

Is this paradise on earth?

These are traditional Korean snacks.

Is this ginseng?

You're so excited, haha.

Haha, I know.

The air feels cleaner here.

We bought some snacks and now we've transferred to another bus.

It'll take about an hour to get to my grandfather's.

Just the three of us will have lunch together.

He'll have dinner with the rest of the family.

This is our first time doing this.

Grandpa doesn't talk much, though.

Goesan Bus Terminal.

Sarah: Is the squid spicy?

Showing grandpa pictures.

You thought I was taking pictures…

Back to the bus terminal…

We're going back to Seoul.

Grandpa will spend time with the rest of the family.

The problem is, we don't have a place to stay there.

So we had lunch with grandpa privately.

And I was so tired, I completely passed out.

Yeah, I took a picture of you.

What???

Revenge…

(Pokes)

Back to Seoul.

Going home.

We've been wandering around almost all day.

We left at 9:30 and it's 5:45 now?

Yeah, probably? It's 5:30.

I'm so tired.

[Korean]

안녕하세요!

저번주는 따뜻했지만 안타깝게도 이번주에는 조금 더 춥네요

아 한국어로 이런말이 있어요 '꽃샘추위'

뜻은 바로 추위가 꽃에게 샘이나서 마지막 추위가 오는걸 말해요

맞지?

지금이 그러하고 보통 3월에 찾아와요

배가 엄청 고프므로 먼저 점심을 먹으러갈께요

렛츠고

신사역으로 가는 길

못기다리겠어 먹어야돼 ㅋㅋ 촬영을 못하겠어

배가 너무 고파

사장님

부끄러워하세요

아마 한 4년동안 왔던 식당이에요 너무 자주가서 사장님이랑 친구가 되어버렸어요 ㅋㅋ

반찬이 많은 한국 전통 음식점이고 매우 좋은 가격에 엄청 맛있어요

작은 RV같아 보여

아이스크림 샵인것 같아

이건 아마 화이트데이를 위해서일꺼야

화이트데이는요...

백인을 위한...ㅋㅋ(장난)

화이트데이는 발렌타인데이 같지만 이날은 남자가 여자에게 선물을 주는 날이에요

그리고 한국에서 발렌타인데이는 여자가 남자에게 초콜릿을 주는 날이에요

그렇게 남성과 여성에게 홀리데이가 있어요

그래서 아마 이건 여성들을 위해서일꺼예요

OMG 나도 여성일래 나도 저 초콜렛 받고싶어

맞아 ㅋㅋ

(킁킁)

이걸 찾았어요

뷰티미러라고 써있으며 여기에 서면 메이크업이 생겨요

저 저정도의 화장 안했어요 ㅋㅋ

너가 해봐

괜찮은데?

못생겼어

뭐야 이게

이상해

보세요 제 아이라이너가 이상해요

Go girl!

며칠 후...

안녕하세요~

오늘이 할아버지 생신이기 때문에 할아버지 집에 가요

아니 집은 아니고 점심을 같이 먹기 위해 그 지역으로 가요

그래서 버스를 타야해요 거기까지... 어느 도지?

충청도예요

한국의 중간 지역이에요

9:30분이야 우리 버스타야돼 진짜로

뛰어야 했어요

거의 놓칠뻔했어요

1시간 30분정도 걸려?

1시간 30분 걸리고 또 다른 버스로 갈아타야돼

총 2시간 30분 걸려

청주

저희는 청주버스터미널에 도착했구요 이제 다른 버스로 갈아타야해요

그 전에...

스낵 엄청 많은데?

여기가 지상낙원인데?

한국 전통 과자들이에요

이거 홍삼이야?

너 신났어 ㅋㅋ

ㅋㅋ 알아

여기 공기가 더 깨끗한거 같아

스낵들을 사고 이제 다른 버스로 갈아탔어요

규호네 할아버지를 뵙기까지 한시간가량 더 가야해요

오로지 셋이서만 점심을 먹을꺼예요

저녁은 다른 가족분들과 드실꺼예요

우리 이거 처음이야

할아버지 근데 말이 별로 없으셔

괴산버스터미널

세라: 오징어 매워요?

할아버지께 사진 보여드리는 중

사진찍으시는줄 아셨어요...

다시 버스터미널로...

저희는 다시 서울로 돌아가요

할아버지는 나머지 가족분들과 시간을 보내실꺼예요

문제는 거기에 저희가 잘곳이 없어요

그래서 저희끼리 개인적으로 할아버지와 점심식사를 했어요

그리고 전 너무 졸려서 완전 기절했었어요

응 나 너 찍었어

뭐???

복수...

(콕)

다시 서울로

집으로 갈꺼예요

거의 하루종일 돌아다녔어요

9시 30분에 나서서 지금은 5시 45분?

응 아마? 5시 30분이네

아무쪼록 피곤하네요
