Top 3: Never Ending Story

Boohwal predicts the new song 사랑이란건 to become their 4th greatest hit song, thus I had the idea of posting the legendary Top Three 🙂

Never Ending Story is another work of art from Kim Tae-Won. It was released in Boohwal’s 8th Album (2002) in which Lee Seung-Chul came back as the vocalist of Boohwal.

Why I choose the video I pick below?

1. It is the original video

2. Colorful HAIR! 엄수한 (Eom Soo-Han, the previous pianist) was blond, 제민오빠 was.. also blond and his hair was rather long, I love when 태원오빠 leave his hair down messy like that, and I’m not sure whether 재혁오빠’s hair was grey or brunet in this one..

3. 재혁오빠 멋있어~!! ^_^* (i’m not gonna translate that :p)

Here’s the lyrics:

Never Ending Story

손 닿을 수 없는 저기 어딘가
Where is that place that my hand can’t reach..
오늘도 넌 숨쉬고 있지만
Today, you’re also breathing.. but..
너와 머물던 작은 의자위엔
On the small chair where I used to be with you
같은 모습의 바람이 지나네
The same figures passed by the wind..
너는 떠나며 마치 날 떠나가듯이
If you leave, it’s as if you’re leaving me
멀리 손을 흔들며
From far away, (my) hands wave
언젠간 추억에 남겨져 갈꺼라고
Someday.. it will leave its prints in my memory(ies)
.
그리워하면 언젠간 만나게 되는
If (you) miss, someday.. you (will) meet (come to meet)
어느 영화와 같은 일들이 이뤄져가기를
Like in the movies, these things become reality
힘겨워한 날에 너를 지킬수 없었던
I couldn’t protect you in a hard day (beyond my power)
아름다운 시절속에 머문 그대이기에
you, in that beautiful time (season, moment)


너는 떠나며 마치 날 떠나가듯이
If you leave, it’s as if you’re leaving me
멀리 손을 흔들며
From far away, (my) hands wave
언젠간 추억에 남겨져 갈꺼라고
Someday.. it will leave its prints in my memory(ies)

그리워하면 언젠간 만나게 되는
어느 영화와 같은 일들이 이뤄져가기를
힘겨워한 날에 너를 지킬 수 없었던
아름다운 시절속에 머문 그대여

Alright, I know you’d like one version sang by the current vocalist, Jeong Dong-Ha, problem is Boohwal never remade this song after 2005, even though they play it live in lots of occasions. This video is from Concert 7080, January 2009.
I know, you can’t have enough of this song, can you? :p Here’s another one, a live performance still with Lee Seung-Cheul, and although he doesn’t get shot a lot, Jae-Hyuck Oppa with his grey hair.. 😉 I say he looks younger now than he did 7 years ago.. 😉
