I Have a Lover (Hang/Rom/Eng Lyrics) by Lee Eun Mi

You might notice that my posts have mostly been about dramas and songs released last year or the last two years (sometimes even three years ago). Well, I have only been a recent fan of Korean singers (it began with a Korean balladeer ^-^), some of the posts I have only discovered some months ago. Though they may have been released some time ago, I'm posting them because I find them interesting or cute or sweet or funny (or whatever) and my next post is the same.


The first time I heard a version of this was through a cover (by K.Will) and was impressed and touched (don't get me wrong: I LOVE the original version by Lee Eun Mi. She was fabulously good ^.^). Still, I tried listening to different covers (from Tae Yeon, to Younha, to Seo In Young and to others I could not recall) and the result was the same: the song is emotional and beautiful at the same time. It was the first time I listened to a song with that kind of lyrics--not telling that other person that you love them when you could but would rather unselfishly love them from a distance and in silence hoping that one day you'd have the courage to tell them how you feel *sigh*


Anyway, I've posted this simply because I love the song (even if it's 5years old or so already) and because I wanted to post this to share with others ^-^
So, here's Lee Eun Mi's "I Have a Lover". Enjoy :)

(i had goosebumps with this performance of her ^. awesomely fabulous)

I HAVE A LOVER (애인 있어요)

(Lee Eun Mi)

아직도 넌 혼잔거니

Someone too precious I had to hide it

그사람 나만볼 수 있어요

He is visible only to my eyes
내입술에 영원히 담아둘꺼야

His name will forever be sealed in my lips
가끔씩 차오르는 눈물만 알고있죠

Only the tears that sometimes fill my eyes know
그사람 그대라는걸

Someday I’ll introduce him to you

Can you hear what the tears filling my eyes say?
그사람 그대라는걸

geusaram geudaeraneungeol

That that person is you

because of my limited knowledge in the Korean language, and because i was just importing the lyrics from outside sources, i wasn't sure with the lyrics with the asterisk (*). the hangul and romanized was supposed to give the meaning of "don't worry" and when i tried putting it on the google translator, it kept telling me that [the words with asterisk above] was the correct hangul. but anyways, the lyrics i've extracted from mnet.com contained the words below in place of those with the asterisk above (hope you got what i mean ^-^)

*안스러워 말아요

*anseuleowo mal-ayo

his version was the first version/cover i've heard of the song so i've decided to post it here as well (with credits to the uploader, of course ^-^)
