| 오빠 너 요즘 바쁜가 보더라? |
Hey, you seem quite busy these days? |
|
Two endings are stacked here: -나 보다 makes a guess based on evidence ("[it]
seems/must be that..."), and -더라 tags on to mark that this is a conclusion
she's drawn from something she personally noticed. Together, 바쁜가 보더라 is
something like "I've noticed you seem to be busy," softer and more indirect
than a flat accusation.
|
| 어제도, 그제도, 지난 주에도 못 봤잖아 |
I didn’t see you yesterday, the day before, and last week either |
| 일어나! |
Wake up |
| 나도 일이 많긴 했어 |
I also had a lot of work to do |
| 좀만 있다가, 좀만 더 |
Later, just a few more minutes |
|
좀만 is the everyday spoken contraction of 조금만 ("just a little"), dropping
the middle syllable entirely – extremely common in casual speech, but not
something you'll usually see written out in textbooks.
|
| 그래서 그냥 하루 종일 잠이나 잘까 |
So I tried to just sleep all day |
| 싶다가도 안되겠는거야 |
But I couldn’t |
|
-(으)ㄹ까 싶다 means "to think [I] might as well do X," and the added -다가도
means "even while [in the middle of that state]" – so 잘까 싶다가도 안되겠는
거야 is "even while thinking I might as well just sleep, I found I couldn't."
-다가도 is the connector to reach for whenever an ongoing state or intention
gets interrupted or contradicted partway through.
|
| 나가야겠더라고 |
I wanted to go out |
| 괜히 마음이 급해져서 서두르게 됐어 |
I rushed you in haste |
| 오늘 너랑 뭘 하면 좋을까 |
thinking what would be good to do with you today |
| 무진장 생각했어 |
I thought a lot |
| 우리 오늘 뭐할까? |
What do you want to do together today? |
| 그러게 |
Yeah |
| 뭘 해야 할까 |
What should we do? |
| 뭘 해야 우리 오랜만에 재밌고, 설레고, 신날 수 있을까 |
What can make us feel fun, joyful, and excited again in a long time? |
|
설레다 doesn't have a neat one-word English equivalent – it's that fluttery
mix of excitement and anticipation you feel before something you're looking
forward to, very often (as here) with a romantic flavour. "Joyful" in the
translation is a reasonable stand-in but loses the anticipatory, butterflies-
in-the-stomach nuance of the original.
|
| 되게 흔한거 있잖아 |
How about very ordinary things? |
| 뻔하고 유치해서 오빠 넌 되게 싫어하는 거 |
So banal and cheesy things that you don’t like |
| 같이 옷을 고르고 |
Like go shopping together |
| 누가 봐도 사귀는거 티나게 |
hold and fiddle each other’s hands |
|
Note the English cells for these two lines are swapped relative to the
Korean – 누가 봐도...티나게 ("obviously, so that anyone looking can tell")
belongs with "so that everyone can know that we are together," and 손 잡고
만지작거리고 belongs with "hold and fiddle each other's hands." 티(가) 나다
itself means "to show, to be obvious" – a very handy everyday phrase for
when something (an emotion, an effort, a lie) is visible on the surface.
|
| 손 잡고 만지작 거리고 |
so that everyone can know that we are together |
|
만지작거리다 adds -거리다, a suffix that turns a verb into a repeated or
fidgety version of the action – 만지다 (to touch) becomes 만지작거리다
(to keep touching/fiddling with something). You'll see -거리다 attached to all
sorts of verbs to give this same "keeps happening in little bursts" flavour
(e.g. 반짝거리다, "to keep twinkling," from 반짝, a flash of light).
|
| 남들 눈은 절대 신경 안쓰고 |
Never care about what others might think |
| 붙어서 계속 얘기하고 |
talk sticking to each other |
| 요샌 반지도 직접 만들 수 있대 |
You know, these days, we can even make rings ourselves |
| 조그만 공방에 너랑 나랑 앉아서 |
You and I sit together in a small atelier |
| 나는 니꺼 만들고, 너는 내꺼 만들고 |
I make yours, and you make mine |
| 이니셜도 새겨서 나눠끼면 좋을 것 같았어 |
It would be great if we carve our initials onto the rings |
| 오빠 너 그런거 되게 싫어하는거 아는데 |
I know that you don’t like those things |
| 그래도 우기면 못 이기는 척 따라가 줄 것도 같고 |
But I thought, if I insist, you might come along even if unwillingly |
|
못 이기는 척 (literally "pretending to be unable to win/overcome") is a set
phrase for reluctantly giving in while putting on a show of not really
wanting to – the classic "well, if you insist" performance. It's a staple
of Korean drama romance: someone secretly happy to go along, but saving face
by pretending to be dragged into it.
|
| 니가 안 간대도 억지로 끌고가서 |
Even if you wouldn’t come, I drag you to the atelier |
|
안 간대도 is 안 간다고 해도 contracted – the same -대 reportative from
episode 5 (short for -다고 해), here combined with -도 ("even if") to mean
"even if you say/said you won't go." So -대도 is a handy shorthand for "even
if [reportedly/allegedly] X."
|
| 유치하단 구박도 들으면서 |
hear you whining that it’s too cheesy |
| 잘 만들었네, 못 만들었네, |
and tease each other |
|
Again the English is one row ahead of its Korean – 잘 만들었네, 못
만들었네 (which becomes "saying mine is a good work, or yours is awful" in the
next English cell) is a V-네, V-네 pattern: pairing two short exclamations with
-네 to list back-and-forth remarks in a scene, roughly "saying 'this one's
good,' saying 'that one's bad'..."
|
| 서로 막 놀리기도 하면서 |
saying mine is a good work, or yours is awful |
| 그래도 오길 잘했지? |
and say, it’s a good thing that we came here? |
| 연애하면 이런 것도 한 번쯤 해보는거지 뭐, 하면서. |
people do these things once in a while when they are dating |
|
This whole fantasy sequence is threaded together with 하면서 ("while saying/
thinking"), used here as a quotative wrap-up rather than a literal "while" -
she's narrating an imagined string of things they'd say to each other. -지 뭐
at the end of 해보는거지 뭐 is a resigned, casual sentence-ender, like "well,
might as well," or "I guess," softening what could otherwise sound like a
demand into an offhand suggestion.
|
| 그냥 맨날 이렇게 |
I just didn’t want to |
| 잠만 자긴 싫어서 |
just sleep and do nothing all day |
| 오빠 넌 오늘도 되게 바빴다더라 |
You said you were very busy today too |
|
바빴다더라 is 바빴다고 하더라 contracted – another reportative, like -대
back in episode 5, but built on -더라 instead: it specifically marks that she
personally heard him say this at some point, rather than just relaying common
knowledge. -다더라 is the natural choice when you want to remind someone of
their own earlier words.
|
| 그래도 얼굴은 보겠다고 이렇게 와준 건 고맙고 |
I’m grateful that you came here to see me |
| 고마우면서도 이렇게 밤에 잠깐만 보는 건 속상하고 |
But I feel upset about seeing you just for a short time at night |
| 속상하면서도 이렇게 너 피곤한거 보니까 안됐고 |
But, at the same time, I feel sorry to see you this tired |
|
These three lines chain together with -(으)면서도 ("even while feeling X"),
each one picking up the previous line's emotion and complicating it further:
grateful, but (고마우면서도) upset, but (속상하면서도) sympathetic. It's a nice
bit of writing that mirrors, in grammar, how conflicted her feelings actually
are – each clause both accepts and undercuts the one before it.
|
| 나가서 영화라도 볼래? |
Why don’t we go out for a movie? |
| 그러니까 나는 화가 나면 |
I mean I think |
| 안되는게 맞는거 같은데 |
I should not get angry |
| 나 왜 계속 뭐가 |
Why am I feeling |
| 이상한 기분이 들지? |
something is wrong? |
| 요즘 우린 잠만 자는 사이 #흔해서 좋은 데이트 |
These days, all we do is just sleep together #good ordinary date |
|
사이 literally means "the space between" but is the standard word for
describing what kind of relationship two people have – 우리 사이 is "our
relationship," and 친구 사이 is "a friendship." The closing line echoes the
episode's Korean title, 요즘 우린 밤에 만나는 사이 ("these days we're the kind
of couple who only meets at night"), swapping in 잠만 자는 사이 ("the kind of
couple who only sleeps") – the punchline being that what she fantasized
about all episode is the opposite of the low-effort, late-night relationship
they've actually settled into.
