God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny. - Garrison Keillor

Eomeoni...Neomu saranghandago!

I've just downloaded E-Tribe's single, "Mom" or "Eomeoni" in korean. The first time I heard the song, I was like who sang this song and why the guy sounded like a woman singing. But then I fell in love with the song. The beautiful melody and the story behind the song. The song is about yearning for his mother's presence. Maybe the mother is dead and so, he's kinda missing his mother. I was literally crying when I heard the song. It is so sad. I don't understand korean that much but I kinda get the idea of the whole song. I really love the song. It reminds me that I should appreciate and cherish my mom and love her dearly.

This is the lyrics in korean and the translation :

Hime buchyeo changbaggeul boda
Saenggagnaneun ddaddeuthan geu songil

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exhausted and staring out the window,
I remember the warm touches
You promised a thousand year;
That we’d live together for a million years.

Yes, mother.
Because it’s so hard, because i so dearly wish to see you
I call out for you like this.
Mother.

Engulfed in the world,
Tired to the bones
Because i remember you dearly
I call out for you like this
Mother.

When I’m stricken ill, i think of you more
Because, I want to be nestled in your arms
The days when i fell asleep, with the faded photos to the heart
(x2)

Yes, mother.
Can you understand my heart?
The heart that tears, pining for you
Mother.


Yes, mother.
Yes, mother.
Because i remember you so dearly
I call out for you like this
Mother.
