Текст и перевод песни TABLO - Airbag

Airbag

I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.

집에 가기 싫은 밤이면 택시 기사 아저씨가 빠른 길만 피해가
라디오에선
말 많은 디제이가 쉽게 웃어주는 게스트와 노래는 틀지 않지,
대화가 길어져.
평상시엔 듣기 싫어서
주파수를 돌려 달라 했겠지만, 뭐,
듣고 싶은 노래도 없는데.
계속 떠들게 내 생각 음소거를 해.
알 수 없는 말에 폭소가 이어지고,
굳은 표정이었던 기사 아저씨도
함께 웃는 것을 보니 요즘 뜨는 유행어인가봐.
어쩌면 나만 섬인가봐.
끝내 누군가의 신청곡이 소개돼.
한때 참 좋아했던 슬픈 노래.
저 사람도 혼자 있을까,
긴 하루가 잠시 잠드는 곳에?

I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
I need an airbag.
피하기엔 너무 늦었어.

요즘은 정리할 일도 많아 잘 취하지도 않아.
그렇다고 술자리를 피하지도 않아.
혼자 있기 싫은 걸까?
아니면 눈에 띄게 혼자이고 싶은 걸까?
내게 외로움은 당연해.
과연 내 곁에 누군가
있다고 해서 나눠가질 내가 있을까?
달기 싫은 물음표.
다행히도 그때,
크게 통화중인 목소리가 귀로 붙네.
약속 잡힌 술 모임이 취소 됐나봐.
전화를 끊고 뭔가 토라진 아저씨는 투덜대고,
내 시선은 미터기 위에 삐뚤어지게 붙여놓은 가족사진.
방황하게 되는 건, 집이 없어서 혹은 갈 길이 없어서일까?
갈 곳은 많아도 그 어디에도
나를 기다리는 사람이 없어서일까?

I need an airbag.
다가오는 거대한 슬픔에 부딪히기 전에.
I need an airbag.
피하기엔 너무 늦었어.

I guess...

Airbag

I need an airbag.
Before I'm hit with overwhelming sadness that is coming.

On nights when I don't want to go home, the taxi driver avoids all the fast routes
On the radio,
A chatty DJ who easily laughs with their guest who's not playing any songs,
Their conversation gets longer.
In normal circumstances I wouldn't want to listen to this,
And I would've asked to change the channel, but,
I don't have any songs that I want to hear.
Keep on talking, mute out my thoughts.
Unfamiliar words are followed by an uproar of laughter,
The driver who had a hardened face
Is laughing along so I guess it's a new trending phrase.
Maybe I'm the only island here.
Finally, someone's song request is introduced.
A sad song that at one point I really liked.
I wonder if that person is also alone,
In a place where a long day can rest for a moment?

I need an airbag.
Before I'm hit with overwhelming sadness that is coming.
I need an airbag.
It's too late now to avoid it.

These days I have a lot to organize, so I don't drink much anymore.
But that doesn't mean I avoid drinking.
Do I really not want to be alone?
Or is it because I want to be obviously alone?
Loneliness is natural for me.
But if I had someone
Would I be willing to share?
A question I don't want to ask.
Fortunately, at that moment,
The sound of someone on a loud call is heard.
Looks like the arranged drinking party was canceled.
Hanging up the phone, the man who seemed upset murmurs,
My gaze is on the crookedly attached family photo above the meter.
Does wandering start because there's no home or nowhere to go?
Even if there are many places to go
I don't have anyone waiting for me.

I need an airbag.
Before I'm hit with overwhelming sadness that is coming.
I need an airbag.
It's too late now to avoid it.

I guess...
