Today's Ballad _ Lee Sora '난 행복해'

Today's ballad post is Lee Sora's 'I'm Happy."

It's is the 3rd track from her first album, Vol.1, which was released in late 1995. It is one of her representative songs.

I really love Sora's ballads, and her emotional and unique voice. She sings in such a way that you can feel the true emotion of the ballads. Her voice is almost like no other.

This is surprisingly not the first song I have listened to by her, but it is from the same album, I just can't remember the English title.

This song was also composed by Kim Hyunchul, who is also one of my favorite singers of the X Generation!

'I'm Happy', is another sad ballad. It seems that interprets the regret of loving someone, and not being able to let go of your love for them, clinging onto the happy memories that remain.

It is a bit heartbreaking...

Lee Sora's style really reminds of Lee Seunghwan's way of ballads. They both have unique voices that expresses the feeling of various emotions while singing with similar style of ballad themes.

She also looks soo beautiful in this music video. I loved her red pixie during this era.... As well as her style and makeup that really complimented her. She is just beautiful!

Sora is one of my favorite ballad singers. She is just so talented.

이소라 (Lee Sora) - 신청곡 (Song Request) feat. SUGA [vocab&translation]

창밖엔 또 비가 와 이럴 땐 꼭 네가 떠올라 잠이 오지 않아 내 방엔 이 침묵과 쓸쓸한 내 심장 소리가 미칠 것만 같아

➼ 창밖 - outside of the window ➼ 비가 오다 - to rain ➼ 꼭 - for sure ➼ 떠오르다 - to recollect, remember ➼ 잠이 오다 - to be sleepy, falling asleep (lit. for sleep to come) ➼ 침묵 - silence ➼ 쓸쓸하다 - to be lonesome ➼ 심장 소리 - the sound of one’s heart ➼ 미치다 - to be crazy

It’s raining outside again, at times like these I always think of you I can’t fall asleep This silence in my room and my lonesome heartbeat is driving me crazy

So I turn up my radio 어디서 목소리가 들려오고 And on the radio 슬픈 그 사연이 너무 내 얘기 같아서

➼ 목소리 - voice ➼ 들리다 - to hear ➼ 사연 - story 

So I turn up my radio, I can hear a voice from somewhere And on the radio, that sad story seems so alike to mine

Hey DJ play me a song to make me smile 마음이 울적한 밤에 나 대신 웃어줄 그를 잊게 해줄 노래 Hey DJ play me a song to make me cry 가슴이 답답한 밤에 나 대신 울어줄 그를 잊게 해줄 노래

➼ 울적하다 - to be gloomy ➼ 대신 - instead ➼ 잊다 - to forget ➼ 노래 - song ➼ 답답하다 - to be stuffy, suffocated

Hey DJ, play me a song to make me smile On a night when I’m feeling gloomy, a song to smile for me A song to make me forget him Hey DJ, play me a song to make me cry On a night when I feel suffocated, a song to cry for of me A song to make me forget him

치열했던 하루를 위로하는 어둠마저 잠든 이 밤 수백 번 나를 토해내네 그대 아프니까 난 당신의 삶 한 귀퉁이 한 조각이자 그대의 감정들의 벗 때로는 familia

➼ 치열하다 - to be intense ➼ 위로하다 - to comfort, console ➼ 어둠 - darkness ➼ 잠들다 - to fall asleep ➼ 수백 번 - hundreds of times ➼ 토해내다 - to exhale ➼ 귀퉁이 - a corner ➼ 조각 - a piece ➼ 감정 - emotions ➼ 벗 - friend, companion

Tonight, even the dark that consoles the intense day fell asleep You exhale me hundreds of times because you’re hurt I am a corner, a piece of your life A friend of your emotions, sometimes a familia

때때론 잠시 쉬어 가고플 때 함께임에도 외로움에 파묻혀질 때 추억에 취해서 누군가를 다시 게워낼 때 그때야 비로소 난 당신의 음악이 됐네

➼ 때때로 - occasionally, sometimes ➼ 쉬다 - to rest ➼ 외로움 - loneliness ➼ 파묻히다 - to be burried in sth ➼ 취하다 - to be drunk ➼ 게워내다 - to throw up everything ➼ 비로소 - at last ➼ 음악 - music

When you want to take a rest for a while When you feel burried in loneliness even when you’re not alone When you get drunk on memories and throw someone up again At last, then, I became your music

그래 난 누군가에겐 봄 누군가에게는 겨울 누군가에겐 끝 누군가에게는 처음 난 누군가에겐 행복 누군가에겐 넋 누군가에겐 자장가이자 때때로는 소음

➼ 누군가 - someone ➼ 봄 / 겨울 - spring / winter ➼ 끝 / 처음 - end / first ➼ 행복 - happiness  ➼ 넋 - soul ➼ 자장가 - lullaby ➼ 소음 - noise

Yeah, to someone I am spring, to someone I am winter To someone I am the end, to someone I am the first To someone I am happiness, to someone I am a soul To someone I am a lullaby and sometimes a noise

함께 할게 그대의 탄생과 끝 어디든 함께임을 기억하기를 언제나 당신의 삶을 위로할 테니 부디 내게 가끔 기대어 쉬어가기를

➼ 탄생 - birth ➼ 기억하다 - to remember ➼ 부디 - please, I pray ➼ 가끔 - from time to time ➼ 기대다 - to rely on

I will be together with you, on your birth and your end I wish you remember that we’re together wherever you are I will console your life anytime so I wish you would lean on me sometimes

Radio narration from the MV: “비가 오네요. 오늘도 그녀는 창가에 멍하니 앉아서 하염없이 빗소리를 듣고 있을까요? 비만 오면 보고 싶어서 큰일입니다” 라고 사연 주셨는데요. 비가 오면 문득 떠오르는 이름이 하나 정도는 있어야 괜찮은 인생이라고 합니다. 누굴 생각하고 계십니까?  누구 얼굴이 떠오르나요?

➼ 창가에 앉다 - to sit by the window ➼ 멍하니 - blankly, absent-mindedly ➼ 하염없이 - endlessly ➼ 빗소리 - the sound of falling rain ➼ 문득 - suddenly ➼ 이름 - name ➼ 인생 - life ➼ 얼굴 - face

“It’s raining. Is she absent-mindedly sitting by the window and listening to the rain today as well? I miss her/him everytime it rains, it’s bad.” is what we received. People say that it’s a fine life when you suddenly think about someone’s name when it rains. Who are you thinking of? Whose face are you imagining?

창밖엔 또 비가 와 이럴 땐 꼭 네가 떠올라 잠이 오지 않아 난 어쩔 수 없나 봐 

➼ 어쩔 수 없다 - it can’t be helped

It’s raining again outside, at times like these I always think of you I can’t fall asleep It seems I can’t help it
