For the third artifact I decided to translate as much as I could of a Korean song. I chose the song I wrote about in my 9th learning journal. Some lines I could not understand very well so I used context clues. I looked at the English lyrics afterwards and saw that I was mostly correct with my translations.
Playing with Fire by Blackpink is a song about an intense, dangerous love. Going through the lyrics, one of the singers is saying that her mother always told her to be careful of guys because love is like playing with fire. Her mother was right because whenever she sees him her heart gets hot. She can’t stop trembling and wants to throw her everything into his world. She tells him to look at her now because he is making her fawn over him like this. She can’t turn it off, their love that’s like playing with fire.
The rap portion says that she has come too far and that none of this is a game anymore. She says love is like a red fire and tells the wind to blow to make it bigger. She asks if this is medicine or poison and says her mother also doesn’t know. She says a robber is in her heart and asks why the police do not know either. She tells him to pour oil to make her burning heart bigger. The color of her heart is black.
The final part of the song says that she can’t control it. The fire is moving too quickly. Do not stop her so that this love can burn tonight.
