봄비

봄비 신중현 Spring Rain written by Shin Jung Hyun



If I walk on the street in the light rain

If I walk on the street wet with spring rain

lonesome by myself

Though the sound of the raindrops is comforting

there is no path of comfort for my aching heart

Endlessly wet, above my eyes

the raindrops fall and become tears


Endlessly flowing

Spring rain, reduces me to tears, spring rain

Till when will it fall

Pulling at my heart spring rain!

No path of comfort exists for my aching heart

Endlessly wet, above my eyes

the raindrops fall and become tears


Endlessly flowing

Spring rain, reduces me to tears, spring rain


Till when will it fall

Pulling at my heart spring rain!

난 나나나 나나나
Nan, na, na...

난나 나나나 나

Spring rain falls...

Spring rain falls...

봄비가 내리네
나 나나나 나나나
나나 나나나 나...

The author of this song titled Spring Rain, lyrics and music, is Shin Jung Hyun. Jang Sa Ik, is the performer here, adapting the traditional Korean cultural experience to the present. The song appears to have been first recorded in 1970 by 하현우 Ha Hyun Ooh. Jang Sa Ik calls himself sorikkun "soundmaker." He brings the traditional country sound of Korean Pansori style music to well known Korean contemporary songs. The commentary in the youtube video noted that Jang had added some jazz influences. One would be hard pressed, I think, to find a Korean, at least among all but the youngest who doesn't know this song.
