Waiting

I got distracted again. I was supposed to be helping a friend with his Phoenix job search. Instead, I searched for the this Kpop song. Anyway, have you ever heard a song that made you sad for no reason at all? You know… just listening to the melody makes you want to cry? This is the one for me. It’s called Gidarida (기다리다) by Panic. I heard it first on Boys Over Flowers, where else? It’s the song that Ji Hoo sang in Macau when he and Jan Di both lost their wallets. I searched for it (took me some time and effort, I’m telling you) and when I listened to the whole song it made me cry even if I didn’t understand the words. The English translation was even more heartbreaking. Below are the lyrics and the videos, one with the whole song and one from BOF when Ji Hoo sang a part of it.

English Translation:

While I was waiting for you,
I’ve been thinking that you’re so painful after you left me.
So you’re crying on the way back to me.
When I look at you, I hope.
On a clear day you will come back to me just like when you left me.

Can’t I see you again?
I can’t see me In your eyes

Comfortable waves and remains of the smile make me cry.
You’d come back to me
Don’t hesitate to come to my arms if your heart called me
I’ll hug you like I did before.
