You're My Friend (친구잖아) by Lee Seung Gi (이승기)

For all intents and purposes, I've posted the following for the benefit of Korean singers' fans across the globe just like me ;)


The following is the lyrics of Lee Seung Gi's (Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy) song You're My Friend from his album "Tonight" released October 2011. I just found this randomly while browsing Mnet, tried listening to the mp3 and loved it :)

On the other hand, this song makes me feel sad for Seung Gi (or his character in the video) because he couldn't tell the girl he loves how he feels because of the excuse that, as the title said, they're friends. I'm sure a lot of people out there can relate to this song ;)

On a happier note, as always, Seung Gi delivers the song well; the music, his voice, the lyrics all go well together. So, without further ado, enjoy Lee Seung Gi's "You're My Friend" :)

YOU’RE MY FRIEND (친구잖아)

Lee Seung Gi (이승기)

울고 있는 네 어깨를 감싸려다 손을 내려놓고 말았어

ulgo issneun ne eokkaeleul gamssalyeoda son-eul naelyeonohgo mal-ass-eo

I was going to embrace you because you were crying but I just put my hand down

친구잖아 친구잖아 친구잖아 난

chingujanh-a chingujanh-a chingujanh-a nan

I’m just a friend, a friend, a friend

어차피 너에게 난 그냥 좋은 친구잖아

eochapi neoege nan geunyang joh-eun chingujanh-a

I’m just a good friend to you

너를 아프게 한다는 그 녀석을 찾아가 때리고 싶었지만

neoleul apeuge handaneun geu nyeoseog-eul chaj-aga ttaeligo sip-eossjiman

I wanted to go to that guy who hurt you and slap him

못하잖아 못하잖아 못하잖아 난

moshajanh-a moshajanh-a moshajanh-a nan

But I can’t, I can’t, I can’t

그래 봤자 너의 친구 이상은 난 안 되니까

geulae bwassja neoui chingu isang-eun nan an doenikka

Anyway, I can’t be anything more than just a friend

너를 왈칵 안고 입술을 꼭 맞추고 놀라는 널 달래며 오 널

neoleul walkag ango ibsul-eul kkog majchugo nollaneun neol dallaemyeo o neol

I want to suddenly hug you, kiss you on the lips, comfort you, who would be surprised

행복하게 할 사람은 나라고

haengboghage hal salam-eun nalago

Be the one to make you happy

말하고 싶지만 주먹을 꽉 쥐지만 결국엔 말 못해 난 오 난

malhago sipjiman jumeog-eul kkwag jwijiman gyeolgug-en mal moshae nan o nan

I want to tell you these things but I only clench my fist, eventually I can’t say those words

비겁하게 내 가슴에 핑계를 대 친구잖아

bigeobhage nae gaseum-e ping-gyeleul dae chingujanh-a

Like a coward, I make an excuse for my heart – we’re just friends

뻔 한 너의 거절이 난 무서워서 친구조차 못 할 것 같아서

ppeon han neoui geojeol-i nan museowoseo chingujocha mos hal geos gat-aseo

Because I’m afraid of your obvious rejection

사랑해 널 사랑해 널 사랑해 널 난

salanghae neol salanghae neol salanghae neol nan

I love you, I love you, I love you

그 한마디 너에게 전하고 싶은 말을 숨겨

geu hanmadi neoege jeonhago sip-eun mal-eul sumgyeo

I hide those words that I want to tell you

너를 왈칵 안고 입술을 꼭 맞추고 놀라는 널 달래며 오 널

neoleul walkag ango ibsul-eul kkog majchugo nollaneun neol dallaemyeo o neol

I want to suddenly hug you, kiss you on the lips, comfort you, who would be surprised

행복하게 할 사람은 나라고

haengboghage hal salam-eun nalago

Be the one to make you happy

말하고 싶지만 주먹을 꽉 쥐지만 결국엔 말 못해 난 오 난

malhago sipjiman jumeog-eul kkwag jwijiman gyeolgug-en mal moshae nan o nan

I want to tell you these things but I only clench my fist, eventually I can’t say those words

비겁하게 내 가슴에 핑계를 대

bigeobhage nae gaseum-e ping-gyeleul dae

Like a coward, I make an excuse for my heart

하루만 더 기다리면 나를 혹시 봐 주진 않을까

haluman deo gidalimyeon naleul hogsi bwa jujin anh-eulkka

If I wait one more day, I wonder if you will look at me

우는 너를 볼 때마다 가슴 터질 듯 열이 받아 울어

uneun neoleul bol ttaemada gaseum teojil deus yeol-i bad-a ul-eo

Whenever I see you cry, my heart feels like it would burst and cry

네가 아픈 만큼 내 맘도 아프지만 눈물을 삼키지 만 오 난

nega apeun mankeum nae mamdo apeujiman nunmul-eul samkiji man o nan

Although I hurt as much as you do and although I swallow my tears

한걸음도 더는 네 곁에 못가

hangeol-eumdo deoneun ne gyeot-e mosga

I cannot go a step closer to you

친구라는 말로 내 맘을 속이면서 바보처럼 울면서 계속

chingulaneun mallo nae mam-eul sog-imyeonseo babocheoleom ulmyeonseo gyesog

I deceive my heart by saying we’re just friends and like a fool, I just cry inside

겉으로만 좋은 사람처럼 말해 친구잖아

geot-euloman joh-eun salamcheoleom malhae chingujanh-a

And on the outside I pretend to be a good person and say we’re just friends
