 |
|
I'm counting down the days till my departure but now that it's so close, I'm getting a bit sentimental and want to learn one Korean song while I'm still here in Korea. I like learning foreign songs every once in a blue moon and learned a few Korean songs years ago (back in the States), but ever since I arrived, I kind of lost interest.
In the spirit of thanksgiving, share your favorite Korean song. Preferably something slow so I can actually sing along.
Thanks  |

That would have to be 개똥벌레, or "Firefly."
http://kaibere.tistory.com/tag/%EA%B0%9C%EB%98%A5%EB%B2%8C%EB%A0%88
Here is a translation which someone else made:
아무리 우겨봐도 어쩔 수 없네
Even though I insist, I can't do anything
저기 개똥 무덤이 내집인걸
Over there, the dog dung's grave is my house
가슴을 내밀어도 친구가 없네
Even if I throw my chest out, I don't have any friends.
노래하던 새들도 멀리 날아가네.
Even those singing birds fly away.
가지마라 가지마라 가지말아라
Don't go away, don't go away, please don't go away,
나를 위해 한번만 노래를 해 주렴
Please sing once for me.
나나 나나나나 쓰라린 가슴 안고
Na-na na-na-na-na- I hug my bitter heart
오늘밤도 그렇게 울다 잠이든다.
I fall asleep while crying tonight.
마음을 다주어도 친구가 없네
Even if I give all my heart, I don't have any friends.
사랑하고 싶지만 마음뿐인 걸
I want to love but it's only my mind.
나는 개똥벌레 어쩔 수 없네
I'm just a firefly, I can't help it.
손을 잡고 싶지만 모두 떠나가네.
I want to hold other's hand, but they all leave.
가지마라 가지마라 가지말아라
Don't go away, don't go away, please don't go away,
나를 위해 한번만 노래를 해 주렴
Please sing once for me.
나나 나나나나 쓰라린 가슴 안고
Na-na na-na-na-na- I hug my bitter heart
오늘밤도 그렇게 울다 잠이든다.
I fall asleep while crying tonight. |

My friend told me that literally it means to ride a horse, It is also slang for male masterbation |

Rarely is the phrase perceived as masturbation. Besides, according to my dongsang it isn't usually sung with that meaning in mind.. 말달리자 is a popular noraebang song since at least 5 years ago though
How about Tell Me by Wondergirls?  |

Awesome suggestion
Also 여행을 떠나요, 남행열차, 해변으로 가요 are cool jams and easy to sing. |

One of my favorite covers of this song from 1994
슬픈인연/015B
멀어져 가는 저 뒷모습을 바라보면서
난 아직도 이 순간을 이별이라 하지 않겠네
달콤했었지 그 수많았던 추억속에서
흠뻑 젖은 두 마음을 우린 어떻게 잊을까
아 다시 올거야 너는 외로움을 견딜수없어
아 나의 곁으로 다시 돌아올거야
그러나 그 시절에 너를 또 만나서
사랑할 수 있을까 흐르는 그 세월에
나는 또 얼마나많은 눈물을 흘리려나
아 다시 올거야 너는 외로움을 견딜수없어
아 나의 곁으로 다시 돌아올거야
그러나 그 시절에 너를 또 만나서
사랑할 수 있을까 흐르는 그 세월에
나는 또 얼마나 많은 눈물을 흘리려나
