The Design-Time Developer

I couldn't resist sharing this - Microsoft Korea Visual Studio song/video

My teammate Chris Avis just sent me this link to a promotional video that Microsoft Korea has on their site for the launch of Visual Studio 2005 http://www.microsoft.com/korea/events/ready2005/vs_song.asp.  If anyone can translate this, I invite you to comment with what the words mean... even if you can only translate part.  Guesses will also be accepted :-D

Let's see... My Korean is a bit rusty, but I think the translation goes something like this... (Just kidding - I don't know Korean from SmallTalk, but the translation is right under the video on the web page):


Customer: "This won't work. find me another."

Owner: "Don't have time? then stay up all night tonight. You couldn't finish this thing by now! then, what are we supposed to do?"

Boss: "This is too mediiocre, we need something different here, something more interesting and more hip."

Developer:

Oh, just Stop, i don't want to hear it any more!"
Customers who just keep demanding,
My neck that gets as stiff as a piece of wood,
The owner who keeps telling us to work until morning with no sleep,
And, gosh, just leaves the office as soon as he finishes his talk,
A junior colleague who says, "I found a better place to work."
All in all, my work gets doubled
My boss who blames me for not understanding what he says,
My heart, which gets crushed one more time,
We developers who keep living a hard life all the time
Coworkers ask me, "Do you see any future by working your ass off everyday?"
I wonder if I will ever be the one who finishes laughing.

My only wish, my only wish is
By now, I need to have a life
as perfect as the software I created.
I will arm myself, because that is the only way to put an end to this boring life
I will invest in myself, because that is the only way that I can refresh myself and be ahead of others

I have lots of stuff I put off, even though I wanted to complete
However, the damn "coding" stopped me from doing it
The hunger that I tormented me while working nights
The desperation that I got after knowing I lost all the coding work that I put in
Now, things have changed
Take the opportunity for taking my idea to fly high
The VS 2005 is finally reborn

As the beacon for software developers dreaming freedom
You do not call me a coder any more for god's sake
Because we keep striving to be part of a larger world
Since I have a brand-new design right here in my hand
I can now embrace the whole future, using my whole body
For you and me
For you and me

We are proud of being developers leading this world.
And We will take the flowers of hope to fruition, even bigger than ever before

I will arm myself, because that is the only way to put an end to this boring life
I will invest in myself, because that is the only way that I can refresh myself and be ahead of others


"Are you done for the day? Then, how about have some beer?"

"This looks fantastic! Why don't we stick with this?

"Which program do you use, sir?"

It works better when translated to Snoop Dogg style via Gizoogle (http://www.gizoogle.com/).

By the way, wouldn't you think that a site saying that VS2005 is the shiznit would have an ".aspx" extension instead of ".asp"?
