Dear Friend- Jo Yong Pil 친구여- 조용필

RIP..Jo Yong Pil.

Tikki

This song by Jo Yong Pil expresses my feelings for my friend, a US citizen who died in Australia.

Jo Yong Pil, is alive and kicking, expresses my feelings for her. She was more of a Jerry Garcia fan, a philosopher, a scholar concerning western Europe and a citizen of the world. She encouraged my Korean studies, and was an inspiration to many others. She was unique and will be sorely missed by her progressive friends.

And heartened that she moved you in immeasurable ways. What a woman.

꿈은 A dream
하늘에서 잠자고 In the sky sleeping
추억은 Memory
구름따라 흐르고 flows following clouds
친구여 Dear Friend
모습은 어딜 갔나 Your visage, where has it gone?
그리운 친구여 Missed dear friend.

옛 일 Past days
생각이 날때마다 each time those thoughts arise,
우리 our
잃어버린 정 찾아 lost affection, I seek
친구여 Dear Friend
꿈속에서 만날까 in a dream shall we meet
조용히 눈을 감네 Quietly, close our eyes

슬픔도 기쁨도 Sadness and Joy too,
외로움도 함께 했지 loneliness too, we had together.
부푼 꿈 을 안고 Risen dream, embrace
내일을 다짐하던 Tomorrow, our promised
우리 굳 센 약속 어디에 Our sure strong pledge where is it?

꿈은 The dream
하늘에서 잠자고 Sleeps in heaven
추억은 The memory
구름따라 흐르고 flows following clouds
친구여 Dear Friend
모습은 어딜 갔나 Your visage, where has it gone?
그리운 친구여 Missed dear friend.
