Sing me a Korean song,
the one I don’t fully understand;
Some words may sound familiar
But most I cannot comprehend.
Still sing me that song –
The one whose melody I’d cry for,
The one whose words I’d sigh for,
If I had known them all.
Sing me a Korean song,
The kind that sounds so true…
Somewhere, somehow
Some good things still get through.
Sometimes I need not know;
Sometimes I must believe.
Sometimes you understand
By trusting what you feel.
So sing me a Korean song,
The one that makes the young girls cry.
My tears will know just when to fall;
My heart will hear the beauty of it all.
