For us it was the most beautiful song of Music In Korea season 1 after RightAbout.
We can’t say which of the two is the sadder.
At the time, every week we eagerly awaited the video’s release of the « unplugged » versions of the album A BELL OF BLESSING.
We were mainly waiting for Rightabout and we had to wait twelve weeks because as if to test our patience it only was published last.
The release day of this Farewell video clip will always be attached to the memory of a happy and sad day at the same time.
The day the justice of men returned his honor to Kim Hyun Joong after years of trials and sterile public debates that should have remained in the private sphere.
The all in all banal story of many anonymous couples who tear each other for a child unfortunately put on the public square when it comes to a well-known person.
Why are we talking to you about this MV today?
A group of fans decided to make this MV reach a million views before Kim Hyun Joong’s birthday on June 6.
So, what if we listened to it ?
It is a sad but very beautiful song.
Here in a stripped version of minimalist voice and guitar, very slow and in a setting almost frozen in time that even the flight of an airplane does not seem to bother, like a tale of an inevitable story in an immutable setting.

FAREWELL
Music: Kim Hyun Joong & Jun Hyung Park
Lyrics: Kim Hyun Joong
Le temps passe en silence – Mais pourquoi sommes-nous là
Time passes by in silence – But why are we here
El tiempo transcurre en silencio – Pero, ¿por qué estamos aquí?
Kkeut-eobs-i chimmug-ui sigan-i – Heuleugo tto ulineun wae
Comme un château de sable qui va s’effondrer
Like a sand castle that is going to collapse
Como un castillo de arena que se va a derrumbar
Eochapi muneojyeobeolil molaeseong-e
Nous le savons déjà
We already know
Conocemos nuestro final
Aewonhago salanghan cheog
Mais pourquoi faisons-nous semblant de nous aimer
But why do we pretend to love each other
Así que, ¿por qué fingimos amarnos?
Almyeonseo wae ileoneun geonde
Ta froideur entre mes bras
You come into my arms begrudgingly
Eres fría entre mis brazos
Majimoshae nae pum-e angineun neol bomyeo
Je vais maintenant te laisser
I’m going to leave you now
Voy a dejarte
Nohji moshan milyeondeul-eul bonaejulyeo hae
Je t’ai longtemps aimée
I’ve loved you for a long time
Te he querido tanto tiempo
Olaesdong-an salang haess-eo
Je te dis mon dernier adieu
I’m saying my final farewell
Y ahora te doy mi último adiós
Majimag insaleul hae
J’ai encore les larmes aux yeux
I still have teardrops in my eyes
Las lágrimas aún inundan mis ojos,
hayeom-eobsneun nunmul-i
Tu me manques
I miss you
Te echo tanto de menos
Heuleugo tto geuliwo, neo
Nous nous sommes séparés il y a déjà longtemps
We have been apart for a long time now
Hace mucho que nuestro amor es solo una ilusión
Olaejeon heeojyeo nam-i doen saiinde
Nous le savons
We are aware of it
Lo sabemos
Apahago geuliwohago
Mais pourquoi pensons-nous à l’autre sans fin
But why do we endlessly think of each other
Pero, ¿por qué no podemos parar de pensar en nosotros?
Awae ileoneun geonde
Tu viens dans mes bras à contrecœur
You come into my arms begrudgingly
Eres fría entre mis brazos
Majimoshae nae pum-e angineun neol bomyeo
Je vais maintenant te laisser
I’m going to leave you now
Voy a dejarte
Nohji moshan milyeondeul-eul bonaejulyeo hae
Je t’ai longtemps aimée
I’ve loved you for a long time
Te he querido tanto tiempo
Olaesdong-an salang haess-eo
Je te dis mon dernier adieu
I’m saying my final farewell
Y ahora te doy mi último adiós
Majimag insaleul hae
Parce que je n’ai rien pu te dire, je garde toujours ces mots
Because I couldn’t say anything to you, I still keep these words
Porque nada pude decirte, guardo para siempre estas palabras
Amu maldo haji moshaeseo myeoch beon-ina tteji moshan mal
Parce que je n’ai rien pu te dire, c’est si dur
Because I couldn’t say anything to you, it’s so hard
Porque nada pude decirte, me cuesta tanto
Amu maldo haji moshaeseo ileohgedo him-i deun gabwa
Parce que je n’ai rien pu te dire, tu me manques à la folie
Because I couldn’t say anything to you, I miss you madly
Porque nada pude decirte, tu ausencia me duele tanto
Amu maldo haji moshaeseo michidolog geuliunga bwa
Tu viens dans mes bras à contrecœur
You come into my arms begrudgingly
Eres fría entre mis brazos
Majimoshae nae pum-e angineun neol bomyeo
Je vais maintenant te laisser
I’m going to leave you now
Voy a dejarte
Nohji moshan milyeondeul-eul bonaejulyeo hae
Je t’ai longtemps aimée, dernier…
I’ve loved you for a long time, final…
Te he querido tanto tiempo, mi último…
Olaesdong-an salang haess-eo majimag
Tu viens dans mes bras à contrecœur
You come into my arms begrudgingly
Eres fría entre mis brazos
Majimoshae nae pum-e angineun neol bomyeo
Je vais maintenant te laisser
I’m going to leave you now
Voy a dejarte
Nohji moshan chueogdeul-eul bonaejulyeo hae
