Lee Eun Mi - I have a lover

Pretty emotional song. Listened to the Tae Yeon live version and fell in love with her voice. I first heard Taengoo singing it way back before I learned Korean and back then I never thought of searching up the lyrics for the song. Now that I have a bit of the basics in me, I was able to catch a little of what the lyrics is about and felt something for the song. So I went to search for the exact translation and here is what I got.

I Have a Lover Lyrics (Translated from Korean)

“Are you still alone?” you asked me
And I just laughed
“I am loving someone,
I have someone to love”

You seem to worry about me,
Telling me there is someone
that you would like me to meet
Do you know that
I already have a great lover?
Someone I cherish so much that I have to hide

That person, only I can see him
He is only visible to my eyes
His name will be sealed in my lips forever
Only the tears that fill my eyes know
That the person is you

I don’t want to have him
I don’t want to be greedy
I just want to love him

Do you know that
I already have a great lover?
Someone I cherish so much that I have to hide

That person, only I can see him
He is only visible to my eyes
His name will be sealed in my lips forever
Only the tears that fill my eyes know
That the person is you

You see now.. I am not alone
So don’t worry about me so much
Someday, I’ll introduce him to you
Can you hear the words of the tears that fill my eyes?
They say that that person is you

Amazing right? It's sad that songs with meaningful lyrics like this are slowly disappearing. Here's the video of Tae Yeon's version on Chin Chin. It's without the background music because it's a radio broadcast and the DJ's in the broadcast area will only be able to hear what's broad casted through the headphones. This is from a staff cam from inside the broadcast area so what you're hearing is purely her voice with no other add ons. Another thing to point out is that she was asked to sing spontaneously without preparations. Amazing =)
