When my mother was pregnant with me, she slept sitting down
This was because of my kicking- I was a trouble maker since I was in my mom’s womb
In middle school, I punched the class president and put a hole in his face
My mother knelt before me and cried in front of me all night
So after that point, I don’t fight anymore
Afraid that I’d become a gangster, she always told me not to get into fights before I left the house
I wondered what I would be when I grew up-
I was afraid that like a mouse cursor, I wouldn’t be able to go out to the big world
But I still dreamt- and at a late age of 26, I was determined
Told myself that the wanderings and poverty of youth were things that anyone went through
I comforted myself in this way and every night for my dreams, I wrote words
* This life that I lived
This life that I will live
My unchanging life song song song
** Repetitions of ups and downs
Repetitions of joy and sadness
Repetitions of love and separation
My life turns and turns (x2)
It was more successful than I thought, Leessang’s first album
Like a wandering gypsy, I saw a light for this exhausted life
An unbelieveable love had come to me
The love song that I could sing for her- “LeeSsang Blues” *
It was the most beautiful song I wrote after I started to write
But eventually, her wedding dress was not for me
Of course, my faults were big but it was so hard- I drowned myself in alcohol that night
The wanderings and poverty of youth were things that anyone went through
I comforted myself like this but pain found me
Cheated off the money I made from evil and like a cherry blossom, I bloomed and withered
And with bare hands I rowed
* repeat
** repeat
This lately started broadcasting life was getting more and more fun
Though I didn’t make much money
All the scars I got from people, I tie back to people
From Yoo Jae Suk, who tries until it’s successful, I learned diligence
I wake myself up again- The music that made me lazy is getting so fun
Every single day, my mind is awake
Just like my manager, Director Choi, who ran to me every day when I said I’d quit music
I am a racer who is running again
The wanderings and poverty of youth were things that anyone went through
I comforted myself like this- because I went through all that, I won’t be broken
I chew pain like gum- the dark night raises me up again, I raise myself up
** repeat
* “LeeSsang Blues” was a song from LeeSsang’s “Re Development” album from 2003
