[K-pop] “Wind and clouds” / Jangnamdeul

Korean Lyrics & English Translation

• ^*부는 ^*바람아 너는 나의 ^*힘
  Blowing wind, you’re my strength
  *부는(BuNeun) = blowing / *바람(BaRam) = wind / *힘(Him) = strength
• 모든 슬픔을 거둬 가다오
  Take away all the sadness
• 광활한 ^*대지에 끝없는 ^*바다에
  On the vast land, in the endless sea
  *대지(DaeJi) = land / *바다(BaDa) = sea / The word “대지” has several meanings. Among them, two important meanings are “a great land of Mother Nature(大地)” and “a land as a house site(垈地)”.
• 오호 바람이 분다
  Oh~ the wind is blowing
• ^*가는 ^*구름아 너는 나의 ^*꿈
  Floating clouds, you’re my dream
  *가는(GaNeun) = going, coming / *구름(GuReum) = wind / *꿈(GGum) = dream / It’s difficult to express the phrase “가는 구름” in the lyrics of the song in English. Still, “Blowing wind and floating clouds” look better than “Blowing wind” and just one word “Clouds”. Because the clouds are floating.
• 높은 저곳에 데려가다오
  Take me to that high place
• ^*푸른 ^*창공으로 영원한 곳으로
  To the blue sky, to the eternal place
  *푸른(PuReun) = blue / *창공(ChangGong 蒼空) = blue sky / The word “창공” itself means “blue sky”.
• 오호 구름이 간다
  Oh~, clouds are coming
• 나도 따라서~ 갈래
  I will follow you too
• 머나먼 저곳으로
  To the far away
• 나의 꿈을 따라서~
  Following my dream~
• 멀리 머나먼 곳에~
  In a far, far away place~
• 부는 바람아 너는 나의 힘
  Blowing wind, you’re my strength
• 가는 구름아 너는 나의 꿈
  Floating clouds, you’re my dream
• 푸른 ^*희망 속에 끝없이 달리는
  Running endlessly in the blue hope
  *희망(HuiMang) = hope
• 오호 바람과 구름
  Oh~, wind and clouds

• 나도 따라서~ 갈래
  I will follow you too
• 머나먼 저곳으로
  Towards a distant place
• 나의 꿈을 따라서~
  Following my dream~
• 멀리 머나먼 곳에~
  In a far, far away place~
• 부는 바람아 너는 나의 힘
  Blowing wind, you’re my strength
• 가는 구름아 너는 나의 꿈
  Floating clouds, you’re my dream
• 푸른 희망 속에 우리 함께 달린다
  We run together in blue hope
• 오호 바람과 구름
  Oh~, wind and clouds
• 오호 바람과 구름
  Oh~, wind and clouds
• 오호 바람~과 구름
  Oh~, wind~, and clouds
