How they were translated: Korean SIX
Brought some lines and lyrics from Korean Production of SIX. Take a look at how they were translated! * notes: the lines and lyrics may not be fully accurate, 'cause I wrote them only depending from my memory.
[Ex-wives]
Remember us from PBS/GCSEs? โถ Remember us from History Special? ์ฐ๋ฆฌ ์ญ์ฌ ์คํ์ ์์ ๋ดค์ง? (note: History Special is one of the most popular TV show in Korea, broadcasted during 1998-2012. They mada a right localization!)
You're gonna find out how he got unfriended โถ You're gonna find out the reason I blocked him. ์๊ฒ ๋ ๊ฑธ ๊ทธ๋ฅผ ์ฐจ๋จํ ์ด์
But I didn't look as good as I did in my pic Funny how we all discuss that But never Henry's little- โถ So he's disappointed with my actual look Do you think you're the only one who's disappointed? Your tiny and little- ๊ทผ๋ฐ ์ค๋ฌผ ๋ณด๊ณ ๋ฌ๋ผ์ ์ค๋งํ๋ ์ง๋ง ์ค๋งํ ์ค ์๋ ์๊ณ ์์ ๋์ ์์ค์ด (OK so Korean Cleves didn't just 'unfriended' but 'blocked' Henryโฆ and she slays ๐คฃ)
[No way]
Well daddy weren't you there When I gave birth to Mary? (spoken) Aw, hi baby Daughters are so easy to forget โถ What was the word Mary calls you? (spoken) Daddy So daughters are not enough to be your children ์ฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ธ ๋ฉ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ ๋ญ๋ผ๊ณ ๋ถ๋ฅด์ง ๋ ์๋น ๋ธ์ ์์ ์๋๊ฐ๋ณด์ง
+ and Korean Aragon says 'Hola' instead of 'Muy Bien' at the beginning.
[Don't Lose Ur Head]
L-O-L, say "oh well" Or go to hell โถ Ha-ha-ha, just laugh at it Or just shut up ํํํ ์๋ ์ง ์๋ ๋ฅ์ณ์ค
Your comment went viral / Wow Anne, way to make the country hate you โถ You've got so many mean tweets / You've got million haters ๋ ์ ํ ์ฉ๋๋ผ / ๋ฐฑ๋ง ์ํฐ (especially loved this one๐ gives bit of K-POP industry vibe)
[Haus of Holbein]
Ignore the fear and you'll be fine We'll turn this vier into a nine So just say "ja" and don't say "nein" โถ It's okay don't worry We're photoshop them das is gut Never doubt them das is gut ๊ด์ฐฎ์ ๊ฑฑ์ ํ์ง๋ง ๋ฝ์ตํด์ค๊ฒ das is gut ์์ฌํ์ง๋ง das is gut
[Get Down]
Get down, you dirty rascal โถ Get down and bow to me ์๋๋ ค ์ ํ์ฌ๋ผ (and when Korean Cleves says this her tone is like a character from historical drama๐)
[Howard Intro]
Nice neck by the way โถ What a pretty neck you've got! By the way you still have it! ๋ ๋ชฉ ์ ๋ง ์์๋ค! ๊ทธ๋์ ๋ ์์ง๊น์ง ๋ฌ๋ ค์๊ตฌ๋ (so Korean Boleyn's got Regina George vibe love them)
[All You Wanna Do]
But my dad's got this amazing job at the palace โถ My dad's got me amazing internship at the palace ๊ทผ๋ฐ ์๋น ๊ฐ ๊ถ์ ์ ๋๋ด์ฃผ๋ ์ธํด ์๋ฆด ์ก์์ค๊ฑฐ์ผ (they translated it as 'internship' and I wonder why๐ค Maybe to emphasize how young Howard is?)
[Parr Intro]
Ooh, โIโm Catherine Parr, I draw lines in arbitrary places.โ Blah-blah! โถ "Hello, I'm Catherine Parr, came to draw lines in your conscience." ZIP! ์๋ ๋ ์บ์๋ฆฐ ํ์ผ ์์ฌ์ ์ ์ ๊ธ๊ฒ ์ด ์ฐ- (and Ryeowon's Howard was damn cute when she says ZIP!)
[Six]
His mates were super arty But I showed them how to party โถ My friends are Artistic My Parties are Fantastic ๋ด ์น๊ตฌ๋ ์ํฐ์คํฑ ๋ด ํํฐ๋ ํํ์คํฑ (Cleves says the word 'Aristic' and 'Fantastic' in English ๐)
โฆand for the last, I bring you how my favorite lyrics from SIX were translated into Korean!
We're one of a kind No category Too many years Lost in history We're free to take Our crowning glory โถ No one can make category on us Our own history that was forgotten Taking back my freedom and glory ์ฐ๋ฆด ํ๋๋ก ๋ฌถ์ ์ ์์ด ์ํ์ก๋ ์ฐ๋ฆฌ์ ์ญ์ฌ ๋ด ์์ ์๊ด ์ด์ ๋์ฐพ์
It's the end of the show, of the histo-remix We switched up the flow and we changed the prefix Everybody knows that we used to be six wives But we wanna say before we drop the curtain Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain All that we know is that we used to be six wives โถ Our show is about to end re-writing the history Our own lyrics we changed and singing Everyone knows we were that six wives We wanna say before the show ends Do not be certain for anything you know We are not that six wives everyone used to know ์ด์ ๋๋๊ฐ๋ ์ผ ๋ค์ ์ฐ๋ ์ญ์ฌ ๋ฐ๊ฟ ๋ถ๋ฅด๋ ์ฐ๋ฆฌ๋ง์ ๊ฐ์ฌ ๋ชจ๋๊ฐ ์์ง ์ฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ ๋ฐ๋ก ์์ค ์์ดํ ์ผ๊ฐ ๋๋๊ธฐ ์ ์ ์๊ธฐํ ๋ ๋๊ฐ ์๋๊ฑธ ํ์ ํ์ง๋ง ๋ชจ๋๊ฐ ์๋ ์ฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ ์๋ ์์ค ์์ดํ
I know there are lots of negative comments among Korean theater fans, about how poor the Korean translations are. But I did like some parts. I won't say I'm fully satisfied with the translations but some parts were really touching just like the original ones. Hope they make progress in the future. ๐
