I decided to visit some of my friends in Boston with the last few days
I have as a jobless bum. It was great catching up with people, talking
about our future, and getting lost in nostalgia. Walking around campus,
I felt right back at home, and I realized I missed school more than I
thought. Being able to eat, study, and live in such close proximity to so
many people is truly an unforgettable experience. I was never the type
to appreciate friendship, but I could honestly say the people I got to
meet and love changed my sentiment towards friends and people in general.
Talking with my roommate of two years only made it clearer.
We have our differences… and we certainly had our own share of roommate drama,
but at the end of the day, we were still friends. With every shot of soju, we let go
of the worries and fear of what lies ahead in our lives, reassuring each other that
it’ll all be OK. I feel old finally having these conversations with my friends, all
working and trying to making a living for ourselves, but it’s also strangely satisfying
to watch each other grow old and mature, still able to meet up and laugh with (or at).
I sound like an ajusshi. I’m getting old.

누가 내 맘을 위로할까
누가 내 맘을 알아줄까
모두가 나를 비웃는것같아
기댈곳 하나 없네
이젠 괜찮다 했었는데
익숙해진줄 알았는데
다시 찾아온 이 절망에
나는 또 쓰러져 혼자 남아있네
내가 니 편이 되어줄게
괜찮다 말해줄게
다 잘될거라고 넌 빛날거라고
넌 나에게 소중하다고
모두 끝난것같은 날엔
내 목소릴 기억해
괜찮아 다 잘될거야
넌 나에게 가장 소중한 사람

Who will be there for me
Who will understand me
Everyone seems to be laughing at me
And I have nowhere to lean on.
I said I would be fine
I thought I got used to it
But in the face of despair,
Again I’m left all alone.
I’ll be on your side
I’ll tell you that everything’s OK
That it’ll all work out and brighter days will come
That you mean a lot to me
On a day when nothing works out
Remember my voice
It’s OK, everything will be fine
You’re the one who means the most to me
I said I would be fine
I thought I got used to it
But in the face of despair,
Again I’m left all alone.
I’ll be on your side
I’ll tell you that everything’s OK
That it’ll all work out and brighter days will come
That you mean a lot to me
On a day when nothing works out
Remember my voice
It’s OK, everything will be fine
You’re the one who means the most to me
I’ll be on your side
I’ll tell you that everything’s OK
That it’ll all work out and brighter days will come
That you mean a lot to me
On a day when nothing works out
Remember my voice
It’s OK, everything will be fine
You’re the one who means the most to me
First time I heard this song was a year ago on Christmas eve, I neither knew or understood a word in korean, but for some reason it just made me cry as I listened to it over and over again…after I searched for its meaning, it became one of my favorite songs. Today I found your blog by chanc, and I searched for this song once again for old times sake… and it’s really nice reading someone elses thoughts and memories while they listen to the same song,
enjoying your blog,

Hi! I also had a song like that back when I was in middle school… I remember listening to this Japanese song, and for no obvious reason, I cried and I cried. I haven’t been lucky enough to find out what song it was, but I’m glad that I could somehow help you in reconnecting with your past self. Thank you for reading my blog by the way :) .
Thank you so much for the translation of the lyrics. That song’s Korean though :)
