Lee Bo-ram is a singer and actress from South Korea. She used to be in a girl group called SeeYa. In 2012, she joined the 2Boram project team.

This time, with her charming voice, was used to make the soundtrack for Korean Drama Full House.

Full House is a famous Korean drama in 2004 played by Song Hye Kyo and Bi Rain. This drama tries to find out if a famous actor and an ordinary woman can learn to love each other in a marriage that was only agreed to on paper. It also looks at what family means by showing that no matter how bad things seem right now, the world is still a good place because there are people in it who give us hope just by being there.

Characters in this drama are thoughtful, caring, honest, patient, and true to life’s basic values. But in the end, no matter how different people are, they all find happiness.

In Asia, the drama was a big hit, and it helped start the Korean Wave.

Here we present the lyrics with English translation.

Popular in many people with Geu Deh Ji Geum (because this is the first line of lyrics)

그대 지금 내 가슴에 들어와 사랑을 말하고 있죠
Geudae jigeum nae gaseume deureowa sarangeul malhago ittjyo
Now you’ve entered my heart, you’re telling me what love is
꿈이 아니기를 나는 기도해봐요
kkumi anigireul naneun gidohaebwayo
I pray that this isn’t dream
내 맘이 자꾸 그대란 사람 놓지 말라고 하네요
Nae mami jakku geudaeran saram nohji mallago haneyo
My heart keeps telling me not to let you go
욕심을 내라며 바보같은 말을 하네요
Yokshimeul naeramyeo babogateun mareul haneyo
That I should be greedy. It’s stupid thing to say

우연히 다가온 그대 사랑이 왠지 낯설지 않았죠
Uyeonhi dagaon geudae sarangi waenji natseolji anhattjyo
Your love that came accidently, it wasn’t strange at all for some reason
하지만 약속된 인연이기에 사랑이 될줄 몰랐죠
Hajiman yaksokdoen inyeonigie sarangi doeljul mollattjyo
But I didn’t know that the promised fate would turn to love
조금 후면 그대 보내야 할텐데 그럴 자신이 없죠
Jogeum humyeon geudae bonaeya haltende geureol jashini eobtjyo
Soon or later I have to send you away, but I don’t know if I can do that

[Chorus]
나홀로 있던 그 자리를 찾아 이제 돌아갈 뿐인데
Na hollo ittdeon geu jarireul chaja ije doragal ppuninde
All I have to do is return to where I once stood
당연한 일인데 왜 맘이 아프죠
Dangyeonhan irinde wae mami apeujyo
It’s how supposed to be, but why does my heart hurt?
그대 원하던 사랑을 찾아 이제 돌아갈 뿐인데
Geudae wonhadeon sarangeul chaja ije doragal ppuninde
Now you’re gonna back to the love you wanted
행복할 그대를 웃으며 보내야 할텐데
Haengbokhal geudaereul useumyeo bonaeya haltende
I should send you who’s happy, away with smile

내 눈을 보며 사랑을 말하죠 스쳐간 사랑이지만
Nae nuneul bomyeo sarangeul malhajyo seuchyeogan sarangijiman
You tell me that you love me while looking into my eyes, though it’s passing love
이 순간 나는 너무 행복해요 마치 꿈을 꾼 것처럼
I sun.gan naneun neomu haengbokhaeyo machi kkumeul kkum geotcheoreom
I’m so happy at this moment, as if I’m dreaming a dream

이제야 알았어요 처음부터 우린 사랑했었다는걸
Ijeya arasseoyo cheoeumbutheo urin saranghaesseottdaneun geol
Now I know that we’ve been in love from the start

[Chorus]
나홀로 있던 그 자리를 찾아 이제 돌아갈 뿐인데
Na hollo ittdeon geu jarireul chaja ije doragal ppuninde
All I have to do is return to where I once stood
당연한 일인데 왜 맘이 아프죠
Dangyeonhan irinde wae mami apeujyo
It’s how supposed to be, but why does my heart hurt?
그대 원하던 사랑을 찾아 이제 돌아갈 뿐인데
Geudae wonhadeon sarangeul chaja ije doragal ppuninde
Now you’re gonna back to the love you wanted
행복할 그대를 웃으며 보내야 할텐데
Haengbokhal geudaereul useumyeo bonaeya haltende
I should send you who’s happy, away with smile

(do you wanna say good bye to you
and I don’t wanna let you go)

(기도해봐요)
(Gidohaebwayo)
(I pray)

내게 사랑을 주면 안되나요 그대 정말 안되나요
Naege sarangeul jumyeon andoenayo geudae jeongmal andoenayo
Can’t you give me your love? Is it really impossible for you?
이제는 그대를 밉도록 사랑하는데
Ijeneun geudaereul mibdorok saranghaneunde
Now I love you so much
