K-pop mungkin memang musik yang identik dengan
dance, musik yang ear cathcy. Banyak lagu korea yang memang hanya menjual irama
dance dan aksi panggung boyband atau girlband, sementara soal lirik tidak
begitu jadi perhatian.
Tapiii, Kpop tidak melulu lagu-lagu dengan
irama cepat dengan lirik yang asal mudah diingat dan dinyanyikan. Banyak juga
lagu-lagu Kpop yang bukan lagu dance dan punya lirik yang maknanya dalam. Seperti
juga dramanya, lagu-lagu korea punya lirik yang kata-katanya sederhana tapi maknanya
dalam. Penasaran dengan lagu korea yang punya lirik yang bisa bikin baper?
Silakan dilanjut...
Haru-Haru—Bigbang
Don’t look back and leave
Don’t find me again and
just live on
Because I have no regrets
from loving you,
so only take the good
memories
I can bear it in some way
I can stand it in some way
You should be happy if you
are like this
Day by day it fades away
Even if we bump into
each other
Pretend you didn’t see
me and keep going
If old memories keep
on being thought of
I might go look for
you secretly
Lagu ini berhasil bikin nama Bigbang melesat di dunia musik.
Kenapa lirik lagu ini dalem? Ini ceritanya lagu dari mantan yang sebenernya
belum move on tapi sok-sok an nyuruh mantannya move on. Lirik lagu ini jadi
dalem karena kata-kata sederhana di lagu ini menunjukkan si mantan yang masih
khawatir sama kehidupan mantannya tapi di sisi lain dia juga tahu bahwa hidup
harus terus berjalan.
Waiting—Younha
How is it that I've fallen in love
with you
How can it hurt this much
Never before have I ever wanted
someone this much
If I say I miss you about a thousand
times, will it reach you
If I try crying and fussing, will you
know my feelings
Should I trying hating your name about
ten thousand times
Should I just count the resentments
Although this love has already grown
so much
Since you are not me, you probably
don't feel the same
Yes, I was the one who liked you more
Cinta
bertepuk sebelah tangan? Atau cinta yang nggak bisa disampaikan? Ini lagu dalem
banget bicara soal itu. Musik dari lagu ini simpel dan membuat lirik jadi
bagian kuat dari lagu ini. Liriknya bukan berisi keluhan tapi suasana ngenes
dari lagunya sangat tersampaikan.
Lagu
ini pernah digunakan dalam drama Producer. Lagu ini dinyanyikan Cindy (IU) di
sebuah karaoke, dan lagu ini tepat banget menyampaikan perasaan Cindy ke Baek
Seung Chan (Kim Soo Hyun).
Have
you ever been in love before?
Falling at first sight, like in the movies?
Spent the entire night talking on the phone?
Bragged to the entire world?
Waited in the pouring rain?
Run like crazy to the one you love?
Secretly guarded?
Gone crazy?
Pretended not to see when you really did?
I'm sure you have been in love
Spent all your money on your anniversary
Apologized even when you didn't do anything wrong
Spent entire days writing love letters
Pushed back promises with your family
Prayed to God for that persons health
Ignored your friends
Missed them
Guarded their leaving figure
Falling at first sight, like in the movies?
Spent the entire night talking on the phone?
Bragged to the entire world?
Waited in the pouring rain?
Run like crazy to the one you love?
Secretly guarded?
Gone crazy?
Pretended not to see when you really did?
I'm sure you have been in love
Spent all your money on your anniversary
Apologized even when you didn't do anything wrong
Spent entire days writing love letters
Pushed back promises with your family
Prayed to God for that persons health
Ignored your friends
Missed them
Guarded their leaving figure
Have
you ever had your heart broken?
Had your makeup wash off in the pouring rain?
Cut your long hair?
Started smoking again?
Avoided areas where they might be?
Wrote letters you know you would never send?
Called them while you were drunk?
(Hello?)
Had your lips freeze up
I'm sure you've had a broken heart
Hated them as much as you loved them
Ripped up letters you didn't read
Deleted the phone number you will never forget
Celebrated anniversaries by yourself
Burned all the photographs
Thought every song about heartbreak in the world was yours
Had your makeup wash off in the pouring rain?
Cut your long hair?
Started smoking again?
Avoided areas where they might be?
Wrote letters you know you would never send?
Called them while you were drunk?
(Hello?)
Had your lips freeze up
I'm sure you've had a broken heart
Hated them as much as you loved them
Ripped up letters you didn't read
Deleted the phone number you will never forget
Celebrated anniversaries by yourself
Burned all the photographs
Thought every song about heartbreak in the world was yours
Hampir semua bagian lirik di lagu ini bikin
bilang “iya ya” melulu. Lirik lagu ini sesuai banget sama kejadian dalam hidup.
Kejadian saat jatuh cinta dan saat patah hati bisa jadi lirik lagu yang jadi
kena banget.
Expiration
Day—Tablo
Even if I look at the clock
I don’t have time, goodbye now
Even if I look at the calendar
I don’t have any memories now
I’m afraid I’ll be a book that no one reads
Music that no one listens to anymore
I’m afraid I’ll be abandoned like a movie playing in an empty theater
Even if I look at the phone
I don’t have any relationships now
Even if I look into the mirror
In there, there’s no confidence now
Ini lagu yang dari musik dan liriknya bener-bener dalem. Lirik lagu ini
bicara soal kekhawatiran dalam hidup dan kalau dirasain bener-bener memang
kekhawatiran semua orang. Sendiri dan dilupakan, dan perumpamaan soal buku yang
tak dibaca, soal teater kosong, lagu ini cukup mengerikan. Lirik ditambah musik
lagu ini bisa bikin mood jadi mendadak galau.
I Still Love You—Suzy
It hurts so much that
I’m the only one who feels like this
That you aren’t
looking at me
Though you are
probably uncomfortable with me
I still love you, I
love you
Though I don’t know
anything else, I know I want you
The more I try to
approach you, the more I try to get closer,
You try to run away
and that makes me lonely
Lirik
ini dalem karena menyampaikan maksudnya dengan sangat sederhana, i love you but
you not dan yang bikin lebih dalem adalah “i know you didn’t love me”.
Sebenarnya lagu ini standart lagu-lagu sountrack drama korea, tapi lirik lagu
yang sederhana dan nggak kebanyakan “bunga-bunga” justru bikin lirik ini jadi
kena banget.
Growing Pain 2—Cold Cherry
Though
my eyes look at you. You not see me
Though
my lips call you. You can't hear me
Though
my heart wants you. You can't feel it
Though
my everything looks for you. You're not there
I've
never learned about love
why
are these feelings coming to me?
It
hurts so much that I can't handle it
so
I can't go to you
Soundtrack The Heirs, bisa dibilang ini
soundtracknya Choi Young Do. Liriknya bukan yang sedih sedih, yang
nangis-nangis, lirik lagu ini cukup menggambarkan cinta sepihak yang bikin
sakit hati. Betapa sakitnya melakukan apaun untuk seseorang tapi orang itu
tidak merasakannya. Liriknya lagi-lagi sederhana tapi bikin ikutan sakit hati.
Color Ring—Winner
If I’d held your hand
back then,
if I’d held onto you
when you turned away,
I could be listening to
your voice instead of this song
If I had been better,
if I had been better
to you
I could be listening to
your warm voice instead of this sad song.
Penyesalan,
lirik lagu ini bercerita soal seseorang yang menyesal setelah putus. Ceritanya
seorang yang udah putus tadi berusaha menghubungi mantannya lagi tapi yang dia
dengar hanya sebuah lagu yang sekarang terdengar menyedihkan. Jika saja dia
berbuat lebih baik dia tidak akan kehilangan si mantan.
0+1—Kang Seung Yoon
The day we first met
Do you remember that day
Amidst many people The
moment our eyes met
The way you looked at
me Turned me into a fool
That’s how you and I
met and became us
If you didn’t exist I
would still just be me
I’m the number zero,
empty inside
You’re the one(1), the
light that filled me
That’s right, you plus
me is one
I’m nothing, a zero(0)
You’re the one person
who looked at me
That’s right, you plus
me is us
Ini
lagu gombal abis, tapi nggak terasa gombal karena kata-katanya biasa banget.
Perumpamaan 0 dan 1 bikin liriknya jadi kece. Lagu ini jadi tambah manis karena
musiknya yang dominan gitar dan suara Kang Seung Yoon yang paaasssss banget.
Lagu
Korea yang punya lirik dahsyat masih banyak lagi, dan setidaknya ini adalah
sedikit contoh lagu-lagu Korea yang punya lirik bagus (menurut saya). Terima
kasih sudah membaca.
