Entry 5: Regret by Gwak Jineon. 후회 – 곽진언

Gwak Jineon is a recent singer-songwriter contestant on the Korean TV Show, ‘Superstar K6’.

He wrote this song for his mother about some of the hardships in life.

My favorite artist in Superstar K6, I really love his style and he’s only in his early 20’s which surprised me incredibly with is unique style. Really want him to win or release his own album~

후회 – 곽진언

아무리 원한다해도 안되는게 몇가지 있지.
죽도록 기도해봐도 들어지지 않는 게 있지.
열심히 노력해봐도 이뤄지지 않는게 있지.
아무리 원한다해도 안되는게 몇가지 있지.

그 중에 하나
떠난 내님 다시 돌아오는 것.
아쉬움 뿐인 청춘으로 다시 돌아가는 것.
사랑하는 우리 엄마 다시 살아나는 것.
그 때 처럼 행복하는 것.

사랑하고 사랑받았던 그 시절은 지나갔지만.
아마도 후회라는건 아름다운 미련이어라.

Regret by Gwak Jineon

No matter how much you want something,
there are thing’s that you cannot get in life.
Even though you keep on praying,
there are prayers that go unanswered.
Although you work hard,
some goals are not reached.
No matter how much you want something,
there are thing’s that you cannot get in life.

One of those is asking for a loved one to come back.
To return to the ambiguity of youth.
My beloved mother being alive again,
like those happy days, though those days have gone by.
Perhaps regret is a beautiful bitterness.
