What Should I Do by Jisun (OST Boys Before Flowers) – EDITED

This is to date, the first Korean song that I ever got hooked on. My most favorite song from the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers. Hearing this song was such a good relief and a much needed change after what I feel an excessive song inserts of “Paradise” in almost every scene.

I went (re)searching for the lyrics and translation to get a better feel of the song, a better understanding. I must say, that I find myself struggling with the pronunciation. After reading the English translation to this song, I now understand that it is a heart -breaking song : ‘( Somehow, it reminded me how I felt so sorry for Ji Hoo but relieved at the same time that Jan Di and Jun Pyo finally got together (although of course we all already know this from the very beginning)

Here’s a fan made video, hoping you’ll end-up liking the song as well!

You ask me how my day was as if it is same everyday
I say I’m okay but you really don’t know how I feel
Do you think I’ll be okay without you?
Are you okay without me?
The world without you is so hard that I blame myself for still breathing

What should I do? Even now, I live each painful days because of your words
Tell me if this is a bad thing to do
Are you living each day painfully like I am?
You and me

Are we too late? Do we not have a chance?
I still think about you and you might know this
Finally is this it? Are we going to end like this? Is it okay with you?
I don’t think I can do it. The love I find with you, I won’t find it anywhere even if I die

What should I do? If it isn’t you no one else can hold my heart
Please hold me. And you know that even though the whole world tries to
No one can erase your memories. So please hold me

What should I do? Even now, I live each painful days because of your words
Tell me if this is a bad thing to do
Are you living each day painfully like I am?
You and me

Is it too late? Do we not have a chance?
But me, I still think about you, and you might not know.
