[111231]Girls’ Generation Performs on KBS ‘Gayo Daechukje’


On December 30th, Girls’ Generation attended KBS “Gayo Daechukje”, the end of the year show for the network.

In the introduction of all the artists, which resembled entries of teams at a sporting event, Girls’ Generation came out first, dressed in the black and silver outfits they wore during their Christmas special. All of the artists had large banners with their names on them, and Girls’ Generation had a ribbon on theirs representing the girls’ award from the Korea Pop Culture Awards.

Later during the show, Girls’ Generation performed the song “Festival” as part of a medley of performances honoring the songs of Uhm Jung Hwa. The girls were bright and cute with shorts and white t-shirts, reminiscent of their “Gee” days. Fans clearly loved the happy performance, as “SNSD – Festival” trended second worldwide on Twitter.

Having already shown they can pull off a cute performance with ease, they dialed up the sexiness with their performance of “The Boys”. The girls started all sitting down in wedding style dresses, but then as the music started they got up and tore the bottoms off to reveal sexy white outfits. They went straight into a remixed dance intro that caught everyone’s attention before they settled into “The Boys”.

Check out Girls’ Generation’s special performances below, and tell us what you think!

111227 SNSD – Time Machine Lyrics ( KAN / ROM / ENG )


Kanji
いつもより少し広い部屋ただ一人
It’s over, guess it’s over
2人で創り上げたストーリーも虚しく
こんなに簡単に崩れてしまうなんて

One mistake, got a one regret
“誰も完璧じゃない”って
そう言い聞かせてみても
何をしても傷は癒せなくて

今タイムマシーンに乗り込んで
あなたに会いに行く
ことが出来たなら
もう何も願わない
儚くて遠い記憶になる前に
I need a time machine oh
I need a time machine oh

一人で過ごす時間は遅すぎて
過ちの罰はあまりにも重く
あなたが最後に残したwords
今でもずっとリフレイン止まらない
まだ胸が痛む

Just one mistake, just one regret
わがままも今は愛しくて
http://www.sonems.net
今タイムマシーンに乗り込んで
あなたに会いに行く
ことが出来たなら
もう何も願わない
儚くて遠い記憶になる前に
I need a time machine oh
I need a time machine oh

時空飛び越えてあなたに逢えたら
例え同じ
結末迎えたとしてもきっと
悔いは残らない筈だから

今タイムマシーンに乗り込んで
あなたに逢いに行く
ことが出来たなら
もう何も願わない
儚くて遠い記憶になる前に
Yeah 2人の想い出忘れてしまう前に
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine

Romanji
Itsumo yori sukoshi hiroi heya tada hitori de
It’s over, guess it’s over
Futari de tsukuri ageta sutori mo munashiku
Konnani kantan ni kuzurete shimau nante

One mistake, got a one regret
Dare mo kanpeki jyanaitte
Sou ii kikasetemitemo

English Translation
Alone in this slightly wide room unlike always
It’s over, guess it’s over
The story that we made went in vain
[We] fell apart this easily

One mistake, got a one regret
“No one’s perfect”
Even if I tried saying that,
Whatever I do, the wounds can’t heal

I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine oh
I need a time machine oh

The time I’m passing by alone is too slow
[This] mistake’s punishment is too heavy
The words that you last left
Up to now is replaying continuously
My heart still hurts

Just one mistake, just one regret
It’s selfish but it’s because love you
http://www.sonems.net
I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory
I need a time machine
If I can jump through time and space and be able to meet you
Say, even if [we] come to the same conclusion,
there wouldn’t be any regrets for sure.

I’m going to embark on a time machine
If I would be able to go meet you again
I wouldn’t ask for more
Before it becomes a distant fleeting memory

Before our memories are forgotten
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine oh
Gimme a time machine
