Details

Description

This is my favorite song of all time.

It is the 6th track in Shin Jung Hyun's classic psychedelic album, "Jang Hyun and the Men" (1972). For those who don't know, Shin Jung Hyun (신중현) is considered the "Godfather of Korean Rock" and was very influential in the 1960s and 1970s. He recorded this album with his band, "The Men." Singers are Shin himself and Park Gwang-Su (박광수) with the deep voice.

Translated lyrics (in English):


Blue sky
White clouds
A thread of wind rises
To fill my heart

Blue-green leaves
Blue-green river
In this beautiful place
You're here and I'm here

Hold my hand, let's go and see, run and see that wilderness
Let's come together and speak of our new dreams

Blue sky
White clouds
A thread of wind rises
To fill my heart

Into this world
We were born
This beautiful place
This proud place
We will live

The brilliant red sun
Glitters on the white waves
Together they overflow the ocean
How good it is to live here!

I will love you with the song I sing

Today I'll go to meet you and we'll talk
Time will pass
We will live together, then fade and fall

In this everlasting place
I hunger to create
Our new dream

Spring and summer go,
Fall and winter come
Beautiful rivers and mountains!

Your heart, my heart
Your heart, my heart
Yours and mine are one heart
You and me
Us
Forever
Forever
Our love is eternal, eternal
We are all, all in endless harmony.
