U-Know Yunho - DROP translated lyrics!

Still not fully recovered from having Yunho and Changmin back from the military this summer.

OMG I LOVE THEM

SO MUCH

So!  Obviously the first thing I do when I see the full MV for DROP (AWESOME btw, make sure you've seen it!) is seek out the lyrics and make an English translation.

And here it is:

Drop it low
The future is still veiled, still can't be seen, but
This passionate life-living era
This arid earth only inherited by this generation

In wickedness opening your eyes and closing your mouth
Courage thrown away for you is the result
Now as you see, as it was predicted
Now, on the fallen away bare ground
From the foundations, bit by bit we again-

I no longer find miracle
Written above the dust, a prophesy-like oracle
Even through just a small breath it will be destroyed
The already crumbling belief is shaking

The word "definition", the word I saw before in a textbook
The majority are dancing to the beat
When again, the completely thrown away
You that is truth, will you find me?

I can’t explain hard this feeling
While having lost gravity, a floating feeling
The barren future, if it is a legacy
Break it all, and begin

If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Don't ignore it anymore, critical
That becomes a poisoning indulgence
The arid ground made by ignoring
In reality I can rest without shade

I won't, can't fight this feeling
The regret it had to be like that at that time
Open the doors closed before, like a flowing river
I go to seek my place

If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

It's a more painful reality, but
If you cross this mountain now
Sometime you will reach it
Even being joyful, the ocean of all things good

It started with candles
Emotion is not controllable, you don’t
Don't stop on the path going to the future
Don't enter on the rough road again
If you miss this opportunity
Now too hard to handle
Changing the future, now my first action
My attitude

 If you are dreaming of resurrection
If you see opportunities while wearing a mask of goodness No
(I see your attitude)
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low

Eventually the previously stopped clock goes my way
Watch – another world pioneered by me
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
(Into the grave)

Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop, drop it low
Please stop, drop it low
Now stop.

What I haven't done is rewatch the video with the lyrics and see if all of them are included.  Like, a lot of the song is rap, and that often gets missed out?  There was one bit at least (count down to the dance part near the end) I didn't think was here, but yeah.  It was just a countdown.

(UPDATE!  I have since found the rap part from the start of the MV and made a translation of that which I have posted separately, because that bit?  It's much more than just a countdown.  ^_~)

No time for translator's notes now, but anyone with questions I am more than happy to answer.  Just leave a comment!  ^__^
