K-pop Lyrics

My life goes on in endless song ttangui tonggokhaneun sorireul neomeoseo,
above earth"s lamentations, naui salmeun kkeunimeomneun noraero gyesokdoeeoyo
I hear the real, though far-off hymn meolliseo deullyeoojiman
that hails a new creation. saeroun changjoreul chukhahaneun jinjeonghan changgareul deureoyo

Through all the tumult and the strife modeun soyowa tujaeng sogeseodo
I hear it"s music ringing, nan geu eumagi ullyeo peojimeul deureoyo
It sounds an echo in my soul. naui yeonghone mearichyeo deullyeoyo
How can I keep from singing? eotteoge naega noraereul geumandul su innayo?

While though the tempest loudly roars, pokpungi sanapge morachineun donganedo
I hear the truth, it liveth. nan jinsireul, jinsiri sara isseumeul deureoyo
And though the darkness "round me close, eodumi nareul dulleossado
songs in the night it giveth. hambamjungui noraereul jinsireun deullyeojueoyo

No storm can shake my inmost calm, eotteon pokpungdo nae maeumui pyeongonhameul heundeul su eopseoyo
while to that rock I"m clinging. geu bawireul butdeulgo inneun haneun...
Since love is lord of heaven and earth sarangeun haneulgwa ttangui juinigie
How can I keep from singing? naega eotteoge noraereul geumandul su innayo?

When tyrants tremble in their fear pokgundeureun duryeoum soge tteolmyeo
and hear their death knell ringing, geudeurui jojongi ullineun geoseul deureul ttae
when friends rejoice both far and near meolli, gakkai inneun modeun chinggudeuri gippeohal ttae
How can I keep from singing? naega eotteoge noraereul geumandul su innayo?

In prison cell and dungeon vile uriui saenggakdeuri
our thoughts to them are winging, gambanggwa eoduun jihagamogui geudeurege naragayo
when friends by shame are undefiled chinggudeuri bukkeureoun maeumeuro jeonghwadoel ttae
How can I keep from singing? eotteoge naega noraereul geumandul su innayo?

My life goes on in endless song 땅의 통곡하는 소리를 넘어서,
above earth"s lamentations, 나의 삶은 끊임없는 노래로 계속되어요
I hear the real, though far-off hymn 멀리서 들려오지만
that hails a new creation. 새로운 창조를 축하하는 진정한 찬가를 들어요

Through all the tumult and the strife 모든 소요와 투쟁 속에서도
I hear it"s music ringing, 난 그 음악이 울려 퍼짐을 들어요
It sounds an echo in my soul. 나의 영혼에 메아리쳐 들려요
How can I keep from singing? 어떻게 내가 노래를 그만둘 수 있나요?

While though the tempest loudly roars, 폭풍이 사납게 몰아치는 동안에도
I hear the truth, it liveth. 난 진실을, 진실이 살아 있음을 들어요
And though the darkness "round me close, 어둠이 나를 둘러싸도
songs in the night it giveth. 한밤중의 노래를 진실은 들려주어요

No storm can shake my inmost calm, 어떤 폭풍도 내 마음의 평온함을 흔들 수 없어요
while to that rock I"m clinging. 그 바위를 붙들고 있는 한은...
Since love is lord of heaven and earth 사랑은 하늘과 땅의 주인이기에
How can I keep from singing? 내가 어떻게 노래를 그만둘 수 있나요?

When tyrants tremble in their fear 폭군들은 두려움 속에 떨며
and hear their death knell ringing, 그들의 조종이 울리는 것을 들을 때
when friends rejoice both far and near 멀리, 가까이 있는 모든 친구들이 기뻐할 때
How can I keep from singing? 내가 어떻게 노래를 그만둘 수 있나요?

In prison cell and dungeon vile 우리의 생각들이
our thoughts to them are winging, 감방과 어두운 지하감옥의 그들에게 날아가요
when friends by shame are undefiled 친구들이 부끄러운 마음으로 정화될 때
How can I keep from singing? 어떻게 내가 노래를 그만둘 수 있나요?
