This is my dad's favorite song, so I decided that as my artifact to reflect a growth in listening and understanding, I would try to translate the general idea of the song. So the title essentially means "If I were.."
It's a romantic song, expressing that if the singer were something, he would do good things for his lover.
The first verse essentially means "if I were the sky, I would want to be colored as my lover's face, like the bright red evening sunset, I wants to be colored like that. "
The next verse goes "if I were a poet, I would make a poem/song for you. Like a child happily snug in his mother's hug, I want to sing happily."
The chorus is essentially "In the whole world, whatever it is, I want to be that for you. Like today we are together, this is a huge happiness for me. My loved person, do you know this mind of mine?"
The next verse goes "If I were a cloud, I would become rain for you. Like a cold refreshing shower in a hot summer, I want to be that refreshing rain for you."
goes back to the chorus and repeats it twice and ends.
The reason I did this for my artifact is because I figured I have heard this song multiple times with my dad, but I had never known what the song was about. I think it tested my listening skills, because I don't normally listen to any songs in Korean. The song wasn't too hard to understand, although a couple words were a bit tough to understand.
