정인 - 사랑은

Among pop singers in Korea, 정인's voice may be my favorite. She is the female voice in 리쌍.

Actually I'm just seeing these videos for the first time.

This video is an MTV-style unplugged version:



Here's a live reggae version:



Here's the original:



If I understand it correctly, saying "사랑은" instead of "사랑이" this way kind of treats 사랑 as though it were a person. I hope you enjoy this woman's voice and song as much as I do.

잊어야죠
이제는 보내야죠
놔야겠죠 잡고있던 인연도
남겨진 슬픈 추억은
내 마음속에 흔적으로 남길게요

I need to forget,
Now I need to let go.
I need to cut this tie that I've been holding onto.
The sad memories that remain
will leave their mark in my heart.

알았었죠
우리의 마지막을
예감했지만 멈출수가 없어
불안한 우리 사랑 난 밀어붙인거죠
그렇지만 괜찮아요 나 지금도 후횐없어요

I saw it coming.
I felt the end was near for us,
but I couldn't stop.
I pushed our unstable love to its limits,
but it's okay. I still don't regret it.

나에겐 사랑은 상처만을 남겼지만
사랑은 웃는법 또한 알게했고
사랑은 살아갈 이유를 주었다가
사랑은 절망이 뭔지도 알게했죠
사랑은 그렇게 왔다 간 거죠
내 마음속에서 LOVE IS

All love gave me was a scar,
but love showed me how to laugh again,
and love gave me the reason to keep going,
then love showed me what despair really is.
Love is something that comes and goes like that.
Love is in my heart.

또 오겠지요 나에게 다른사랑이
그땐 지금처럼 힘들진않겠죠
이미 사랑이 어떤건지 나에게
알려주고 갔으니 난 반은 지금보다 쉽겠죠

Another love will come to me again,
and when it does it will be a little easier.
You already showed me what love is and went away,
so doing my half will be easier than it is now.

사랑은 상처만을 남겼지만
사랑은 웃는법 또한 알게했고
사랑은 살아갈 이유를 주었다가
사랑은 절망 또한 알게했죠
사랑은 내게 알려주었죠
이 모든 것들을

All love gave me was a scar,
but love showed me how to laugh again,
and love gave me the reason to keep going,
then love showed me again what despair is.
Love let me know
All these things.

내게 사랑은 함께라는걸 보여주고
이별후 외로움 또한 남겨줬고
사랑은 다가서는 법을 알려주고
이별후 멀어지는법도 알게했죠
사랑은 내게 알려주었죠
이 모든 것들을 love is

Love showed me what it is to share,
and when it was over, left me with loneliness.
Love showed me how to stand close to someone,
and when it was over, showed me how to drift apart.
Love showed me
Love is all of these things.
