"SHINE A LIGHT (REPRISE)"
THIS IS NOT AN EXACT TRANSLATION, THIS IS AN ADAPTATION (AND ONE THAT STILL NEEDS TONS OF FIXING AT THAT)
I scheduled this for the future lol.
Scheduled this on the 23/05/24 for the date in which this will come out
Because now it's decent but I still don't like it (but at least you guys won't be starved of my content for too long [not like it would be that big of a deal but if there was someone irl cheering me on for doing this and I said I'd do it I would give them something I did in the past but haven't yet showed them during a time in which I can't produce more of that content])
So anyway you guys, here you have "Shine A Light (Reprise)" in Italian!
ASK ME FOR PERMISSION BEFORE USING THIS, DO CREDIT ME IF YOU EVER USE THIS (I doubt you will it’s impractical and still needs so much fixing it’s unbelievable) AND TELL ME/LINK WHATEVER YOU USED IT FOR USING REBLOGS (because for some reason Tumblr doesn’t like comments with links and while I do think I understand why I don’t always like it)
(the apostrophes [or however ’ is called] are used to shorten the number of syllables often in poetry so I’m obviously abusing that power.)
[HEATHER MCNAMARA:]
Stupidi tappi impossibili!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Oh guarda, Heather se ne va'a
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Fri-hignar tutta notte!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Non meriti di vivere!
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Perché non ucciderti?
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Eccoti un sedativo
[HEATHER & COMPANY:]
Fri-hi-higna!
[HEATHER DUKE:] *
Perché Babbo Natale non c'è (uee-uee)
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Sei patetica perché frigni!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Frigni tutta notte!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
(Frigna) Dalla squadra te ne devi andare
(Frigna) Lamentati e piagnucola
(Frigna) Non meriti di sognare
(Frigna) Tu morirai da sola!
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Muori sola!
Muori sola!
Muori sola!
MUORI SOLA!
So, direct translation! (used in this to specify the meanings and explain certain word choices [and in one case this])
[HEATHER MCNAMARA:]
Stupid impossible (implied to open) caps!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Aww look, Heather's going to
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Whi-hine all night!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
You don't deserve to live!
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Why not kill yourself!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Here's to you a sedative
[HEATHER & COMPANY:]
Whi-hi-hine!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Because there's no Santa Claus (uee-uee [in this case we're using this parenthesis for the explanations: so, uee-uee are the letters used to mimick crying in Italian, I don't remember the name of the poetic thing now, I think onomathopea? I'm unsure if it's even written right])
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
You're pathetic because you whine!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
You whine all night!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
(Whine) Go awayfrom the team
(Whine) Whine (but as in moan about it) and whine (but as in cry but mockingly)
(Whine) You don't deserve to dream
(Whine) You're gonna die alone
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Die alone!
Die alone!
Die alone!
DIE ALONE!
OG LYRICS (if you’re seeing this I doubt you don’t know them, but here they are anyway):
[HEATHER MCNAMARA:]
Stupid child proof caps!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Aww look, Heather's going to
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Whine, whine, whine all night!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
You don't deserve to live!
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Why not kill yourself!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Here have a sedative
[HEATHER & COMPANY:]
Whine, whine, whine!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
Like there's no Santa Claus (boo-hoo)
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
You're pathetic because you whine!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
You whine all night!
[HEATHER DUKE:]
(Whine) Your ass is off the team
(Whine) Go on and bitch and moan
(Whine) You don't deserve to dream
(Whine) You're gonna die alone
[HEATHER DUKE & COMPANY:]
Die alone!
Die alone!
Die alone!
DIE ALONE!

I definitely will not get back into kpop ever but occasionally I'll go through a youtube binge of my old faves. I only ever liked female artists but the thing was you'd get attached to a girl group or a female vocalist and like a year later it would be like "no she's too old now. time to abandon her and introduce a new group of 15 year olds" . they continually wasted so much incredible talent by viewing the artists as well as talent itself as a replaceable commodity imo (i'm not saying this doesnt happen in western pop too but perhaps not so brazenly)
anyway a lot of it is bad lol but these are some of the things that I've revisited that still actually go so hard:
4minute crazy- excuse me?? this was such a slay. also hate. the tonal plot twist in this track: unparalleled. hyuna was iconic but also jiyoon !!! i agree w the comments of this yt video this would absolutely be a massive hit if it was released today
ladies code. this is just legitimately good pop music. a very sad story behind them as well and they were very undervalued as I recall. but this. galaxy was spectacular. both of the last two EPs tbh. that vocalist's voice does things to me
f(x) 4walls. should have been an international dance hit tbh
wonder girls obviously. even as far back as irony which is so charming in a retro way but I love that they eventually were playing their own instruments/having more of a hand in their own music. specifically i want to point out that park ye-eun from wonder girls was legitimately SUCH a talented musician imo (as a singer and a composer) and so much of her solo stuff as ha:tfelt was incredible. I was very glad to hear that she (and the others i think) left their agency bc they were so mistreated rip
yezi cider.... god she was so talented and i was so in love with her. my underrated fave... at one point i watched a whole reality show about korean female rappers for her lol (which was. a lot. but she should have won)
suzy yes no maybe again this was just really good pop.
dalshabet someone like u this is the corniest thing i'll put on this list but mostly it's just a super interesting case to me. iirc it was fairly popular with international audiences but kind of a flop in korea. which is fascinating to think about in terms of the cultural differences in what music appeals to us. like as a cheesy pop song it is just so catchy to me lol and I can't understand how it could not be but there u go
in capable/caring hands so many of these women could have done INCREDIBLE things imo. like it's undeniable that there is very real talent in kpop, I think the aggressively commercial aspect just limits the artists criminally and it's a shame. which ig is true to some extent about any pop music.
anyway i've put two of my kpop playlists that were popular on 8tracks on spotify: here and here
