I am currently in love with this song!
Well actually I have long been a fan of Standing Egg. Next to Clazziquai Project and Winterplay, they are my 3rd favorite Korean Indie artist. I absolutely love their music. I’m and Egg-fan!
Their new song is called Because of Different Times (시간이 달라서). There isn’t a video yet of the song on their website, so I’m just posting the audio.
The Song
The first thing I noticed when I got the Melon 100 Chart last week was that there was a Standing Egg song! I think they are becoming popular not which is good. So when I listened to this song, I immediately fell in love with it. One because of the melody (I love acoustic songs, something that Korean music doesn’t have too much) and another for the lyrics. Although my Korean is limited, I am surprised at myself because I understood the song without looking at the translations. And when I saw the translation, what I understood was correct! Hurray!!! I have to study more though.
Anyway, this song is a bit of a sad song, a song that a lot of people can relate too. Like I said before, I love sad songs.. I don’t know why. On the contrast, though the lyrics is sad, the melody is not quite sad. I think this is the time when one says, “It’s time to move on now and accept that it can’t happen anymore”. I love the song for the contrast in the melody and the lyrics.
Final Verdict: Another Standing Egg song I’m loving a lot! Something different from the Kpop songs that are so popular now. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Lyrics:
I actually made the effort to romanize this song! Haha.. not lazy today.. that’s how much I like it. I also found some of the translation on youtube, but some of the verses were missing. So I added the parts that were included and made a few changes. Thanks to Glicious0219@yt for translating most of it. If you take out the romanization and translations please credit: Glicious0219@yt and chipskjaa@wordpress.

Because of Different Times – Translation
At first, I couldn’t pamper you because I was busy
Later, I only gave you pain because I was a bad person
At the time, I didn’t know that the tears then would be the last
At the time, I couldn’t do much for you because I was so lacking
Now, I can’t do anything for you because you’re no longer here
At the time, I didn’t know nothing would come to matter if it wasn’t then
At that time, at that street, you are there
Now, at this street, I am here
We’re talking to each other from far away
I love you, I love you, I love you
At that time, you waited for me
Now, I wait for you
But we can’t meet because the times are different
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, say goodbye
At the time, I only knew of myself because I was still young
I thought you would always be next to me
At the time, I didn’t know that your absence was my everything
At that time, at that street, you are there
Now, at this street, I am here
We’re talking to each other from far away
I love you, I love you, I love you
At that time, you waited for me
Now, I wait for you
But we can’t meet because the times are different
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, say goodbye
At that time, at that street, I’m not there
Now, at that street, you’re not there
We can’t hear each other say from far away
I love you, I love you, I love you
At that time you loved me
Now, I love you
But we can’t meet because the times are different
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, say goodbye
Because of Different Time – Hangeul
처음엔 바빠서 잘해주지 못했어
나중엔 나빠서 아프게만 했어
그때는 몰랐어 그때 그눈물이 마지막이란걸
그땐 내가 부족해 해주지 못했지만
이젠 네가 없어서 해줄수가 없어
그때는 몰랐어 그때가 아니면 소용 없다는걸
그때 그거리엔 네가 있어
지금 이거리엔 내가 있어
서로가 멀리서 말하고 있어
사랑해 사랑해 사랑해
그때는 네가 날 기다렸고
이제는 내가 널 기다리고
시간이 달라서 만날수 없어
미안해 미안해 미안해 say goodbye
그때는 어려서 나밖에 몰랐었어
항상 네가 내곁에 있을줄 알았어
그때는 몰랐어 너의 빈자리가 나의 전부란걸
그때 그거리엔 네가 있어
지금 이거리엔 내가 있어
서로가 멀리서 말하고 있어
사랑해 사랑해 사랑해
그때는 네가 날 기다렸고
이제는 내가 널 기다리고
시간이 달라서 만날수 없어
미안해 미안해 미안해 say goodbye
그때 그거리엔 내가 없어
지금 이거리엔 네가 없어
서로가 멀어서 들리지 않아
사랑해 사랑해 사랑해
그때는 네가 날 사랑했고
이제는 내가 널 사랑하고
시간이 달라서 만날수 없어
미안해 미안해 미안해 say goodbye
