Song of the Day: Lim Jae Bum - For You

I've been watching a new show called "I am a singer" which i mentioned in a previous blog post. There are 3 new singers that came out, BMK, Lim Jae Bum, and one other guy. Well, Lim Jae Bum has one of those voices that is unique. He ended up singing the one song that i really liked by him called "For You".

I just liked it for the melody and the voice, but in the show he explained that the song is a real life experience that he wrote into words. He goes on to say (and i quote) "This is a very special song for me. It's a true story. At the very end saying 'i will leave you, just for you' is what love is when it's not meant to be. She left, but she's that one person you will never be able to forget."

That's some horrible translation. Anyways, i never really listened to the lyrics until today - and after hearing his explanation about the song; i was moved. It was as if he went through the exact same life experience as me! Having to let someone go, someone you will never be able to forget go, so that he/she will be able to move on.. isn't that unselfish love?

행복하니?
잘 지내는거니?
마음은 아프지만, 그래도 계속 살아야하니까..
넌 아마 몰을꺼야.
내가 왜 너를 보낸건지.
몰르는게 날꺼다.
가족을 위해서. 너한태 그렇개 중요한 가족을 위해서.
사실을 다 못 말하고, 오해를 입고 보내서 미안하다.
근대, 널 위한것이라고 생각해서.
이즐순 없을꺼야, 우리의 추억들.. 평생.
고맙다.
울지마. 넌 웃을때가 재일 예뻐. 이쁘니.
이 글을 볼까? 흠..
다른 이별을 하기 위해서, 이잰 너를 내 마음애서 나줘야갯다.
행복해라.

I included a rough translation of the lyrics, but it's hard to clearly express the Korean feeling in English for this song. Apologies in advance if you get confused.

임재범 - 너를 위해



Lyrics:

어쩜 우린 복잡한 인연에 서로 엉켜있는 사랑인가봐
나는 매일 네게 갚지도 못한 만큼 나는 빚을 지고 있어
연인처럼 때론 남남처럼 계속 살아가도 괜찮을걸까?
그렇게도 많은 잘못과 잦은 이별에도 이별에도 항상 여기있는걸
나 세상에서 제대로 살게해준 유일한 사람이 너란 걸 알아
나 후회없이 살아가기 위해 너를 붙잡아야 할테지만
내 거친 생각과 불안한 눈빛과 그걸 지켜보는 너 ~
그건 아마도 전쟁 같은 사랑
나 위험하니까 사랑하니까 ~
너에게서 떠나줄꺼야 ~
나 세상에서 제대로 살게해 준 유일한 사람이 너란걸 알아
날 후회없이 살아가기 위해 너를 붙잡아야 할테지만
내 거친 생각과 불안한 눈빛과 그걸 지켜보는 너 ~
그건 아마도 전쟁 같은 사랑
나 위험 하니까 사랑하니까 ~
너에게서 떠나줄꺼야 ~
너를 위해 떠날꺼야 ~

Translated:

We are in a complex love relationship
I always become indebted to you
As lovers, as strangers, is it okay to go on?
With all the mistakes in this relationship you are always here
You are the one that has made me live a decent life
For me to not regret, i know i should not let you go
You look on~ my silly thoughts and insecurity
That's like a love war
I'm in danger, i'm in love
I will leave you

I know you are the one person that has made me into a good man
For me to not regret, i know i should not let you go
You look on~ my silly thoughts and insecurity
That's like a love war
I'm in danger, i'm in love
I will leave you
I will leave, "for you"
