서른 즈음에 About Thirty

Another day drifts away

Like exhaled smoke

In my memories so small

What do I fill and live on

Drifts farther and farther away

Thought it was staying youth

In my emptying heart

Nothing more can be found

Seasons again return

But where my love that left

I did not let it leave either

I did not leave it either

Forgotten little by little

Thought it was staying love

Another day drifts away

Living on saying good bye every day

Living on saying good bye every day

by the late Kim Gwang-Seok (김광석). Died too young.

An immensely popular song in Korea in the 1990s,  this song made listeners look upon themselves. 

I need to look back too and take stock. Am leaving my thirties soon.

Happy birthday me! Happy birthday hubby too. He'll celebrate his birthday two days after I celebrate mine.

Here's a version of the song sang by Baek Ji-Young .

And no, I'm not feeling melancholic or anything. Just sharing a lovely yet sad song on my birthday. ^^
