Let’s celebrate the 9th anniversary of this performance by Kim Hyun Joong during a TV show (Mnet- Must 15-07-2011)
Here, in a superb arrangement by Heo Joon,
Beautiful songs there are so many, but beautiful interpretations of a song are rare and this one it’s in our opinion exceptional.
Fortunate, originally is a title by singer/composer Lee Juck (2007) which has been sung regularly by different artists.
It is said to be the song that any Korean with a microphone would like to be able to sing.
This is a video, but we advise you to close your eyes and let yourself be overwhelmed by the palette of emotions that Kim Hyun Joong passes through during these 3:38 minutes. You will even feel his smile as if it were personally intended for you …
There is no need to know a single word of Korean, a beautiful song don’t need to be translated; but just to understand the meaning of the words so well and beautifully interpreted…
I’m Fortunate
(free translation)For meeting you and being able to touch your hair
For meeting you and being able to look back at each other
For getting to hug you and being able to cry when it gets tough
I’m fortunate for this beautiful world placing you here
I’m thankfulIn the harsh winds, even under a wet roof,
I’m not getting tossed there by myself
Tiring daily life and hard survival to the last minute it’s not something pointless
For always having remained by my side,
it’s because of an amazing person, youFor meeting you and being able to make the meals we share
For meeting you and being able to hold your numb hands
For getting to hug you and being able to comfort you even though it doesn’t help
I’m fortunate for this beautiful world placing you here
I’m thankfulIn the harsh winds,even under a wet roof,
I’m not getting tossed there by myself
Tiring daily life and hard survival to the last minute it’s not something pointless
For always having remained by my side,
it’s because of an amazing person, you
For meeting you and being able to touch your hair
