Onew X Lee Jin Ah - Starry Night M/V

[trans] Onew & Lee Jin Ah - Starry Night Lyrics by fondueoflight

*Do not re-translate into another language

It’s hard to fall sleep as my heart is dark
The complicated world busily bothers me

Even when the sunshine outside the window fully covers my face,
I don’t want to open my eyes
If this reality of not being able to see you anymore
could change again

If I were to become the dark night, please be a star
Please will you be a twinkling star?
Over the night of silence when everyone is asleep,
please be my friend
Please be my friend

How nice would it be?
If dreams came true and
you and I could be together
If I could see you
just like a star that always come
at the end of a hard day

If I were to become the dark night, please be a star
Please will you be a twinkling star?
Over the night of silence when everyone is asleep,
please be my friend

If I spend a night of tears, please be the light
I will be the light in your anxious night

If I get lost and wander around, please be a star
Please will you be the star in the unknown tomorrow?
Over the night when everyone is on their way to somewhere,
please be my friend
Please be the starlight

I like it it's nice and soothing
I can understand why people said in the previous post that they didn't like her voice since her tone and cute way of singing it's not for everyone's liking, but I like it
And I love that there's so many animation MVs recently in SM since I always think that animators have it tough in finding jobs lol but the animation didn't go with the lyrics that was more about friendship, why the kiss?

edit: also! I hope this encourages Onew to do a solo debut lol

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

she sounds like a japanese singer who sang to one of the naruto movies but now i cannot remember the title, something with 'home'?

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

She sounds like a lot of Japanese female singers I've heard in the past

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

i like it too! i think her voice is super sweet but i can see why others wouldn't like it.

and same, i hope we get a solo debut soon

[annayism.livejournal.com]

cute animation, but i don't think their voices sound good together :( give me that onew solo, sm!!

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

her voice is not my cup of tea. .i wanted to see onew's face in the mv but it's animation which i was already guessing lol.

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

i loved the animation in this mv. so pretty and creative and fun to look at. I liked the shooting star in the last scene, really sweet.

I don't mind Lee Jin Ah's voice, but I don't think her voice meshes that well with Onew's. As a song though, I still enjoy it, it's mellow and comforting.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Her voice is quite grating on the ear, but Onew's voice helps to balance it out. After the song was finished, the chorus kept replaying in my head. So, I guess it did it's job.

Very soothing.

i wanted to like this so bad but i just don't

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

Jinah just reminds me of a vocaloid

cute song but not really to my tastes

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

I actually like her voice here more than Onew's. She suits this song while he seems to be holding back, it's just not his style I think? I remember I liked Moonlight, but he sounded a bit different there.

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

mte, she has just the right style for this dreamy kind of sound, and onew does better when he can go all out, this is too restrained for him.

[shelz88.livejournal.com]

Yeah i was so excited for this.. but then its like its mostly her singing and her voice is definitely not my favorite.. onew's voice is soothing as always. i really like the song, i just really dislike her voice :(
I wish onew would get a solo or like an smstation duet with jonghyun.. aaahhh..

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

hopefully a solo debut for onew is in the process<3

and i've been wanting another jongyu duet for so long so fingers crossed for sm station release! i remember wanting a subunit in the past but now i'd settle for a cover @ a concert at this point lol.

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

I actually really enjoy her voice. It's a delicate, twinkling kinda sound which is appropriate for this light jazz type of music. My issue with this track is that Onew had to work really hard to match that sound and straight toned a LOT so as not to overpower her. It made the thing that I love about his voice so much (how warm and forward placed it is) really fall to the side which makes me sad.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i like her voice better outside of the chorus? the song is - like most people above have said - very soothing. i'm ready for his solo where he can show off his lovely voice more though

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

haters gon' hate.

Lee Jin Ah's voice is amazing for this light neo jazz vibe i love her. And I think it sounds really nice with Onew's voice.

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

Im fucking in love how, ONEW'S VOICE IS LIKE THE HEAVENS SPEAKING TO ME

[bulliekim.livejournal.com]

This sounds like a children's song. Lee Jin Ah sings like a toddler and Onew is sort of dumbing his voice down in order to match her which is even more annoying.

Someone wake me when Onew gets his own adult album bc I can't get behind this mess.

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

smh all these comments hating on Lee Jin Ah's voice. She sounds like a lot of K-Indie artists to me.

I wish the song was more interesting.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

imo their voices just don't work well together and it's...it's a good song but i can't get into it because she sounds like a child :/

[simplyseasalt.livejournal.com]

Lee Jin Ah's voice sounds like a voice you'd hear in an anime. That's cool.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Yep, as expected from the teaser, I don't like it, lol. I do enjoy some light, soothing tunes a la Sistar's Soyu or Urban Zakapa, but Onew had to tone down his voice and technique a lot to accommodate her singing style (sorry but it sounds like a child just learning how to sing) when he has so much more depth and richness that just doesn't show here.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

it's like a feature by jinki but well i don't mind the kid's voice. sounds like something you'd listen to when you're winding down

[ty.livejournal.com]

Absolutely lovely! Thank you so much for translation "fondueoflight"

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

I liked it. very soothing ♥ I wanted so bad a song for Onew or a duet (with jjong) for smstation but well... I hope he can have more opportunities later. I was disappointed with the mv lmao I wanted to see his face xD it could have been a very cute video with them T_T

I hope that when he releases his solo album people will support him, many comments asking for one.

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

i love the song and i love their voices ~*__*~

[digitalqueen.livejournal.com]

i like the animation
