부족한 날 그대가 다 허락한다면

I was introduced by my friends to another series and although I have not finished it, I would like to get to know more about the songs in it. I think the main theme was too cliche so I was not really impressed by it. So in my search for the other titles, I listened as I read the translations to this song, 이영현 - 화답. Normally for a song title, it would be found somewhere in the song but this interesting song did not and at the end of it, I finally realized that the whole song was a question waiting for a response ie the song title. My hats off again to another Korean song :)

이영현 - 화답

언제나 손 내밀면 닿을듯한 그곳에 서 있을께요
기쁠때면 내가 먼저 환하게 웃어줄께요
이런 나도 그댈 사랑해요

바보같단 그런말은 하지마요
고마웠단 그런말도 하지마요
그대가 내곁에 있는것만으로
그것만으로 난 행복하죠

하루하루 견딜 수 없던 시간도
매일매일 지쳐가던 내 일상도
그대가 있어서 그대를 만나서
지금껏 견딜수가 있었죠

언제나 손 내밀면 닿을듯한 그곳에 서 있을께요
기쁠때면 내가 먼저 환하게 웃어줄께요
고마워요~ 이런 나도 바보같죠

언제나 눈을뜨면 보일듯한 그곳에 서 있을께요
늘 곁에서 그대만 바라보며
부족한 날 그대가 다 허락한다면

끝이없을 것만 같던 그 사랑때문에
왠지 나도 또 눈물이 나요

언제나 손 내밀면 닿을듯한 그곳에 서 있을께요
슬플때면 내가먼저 그대를 안아줄께요
고마워요~ 이런 나도 바보같죠~ 오~

언제나 날 부르면 들리듯한 그곳에 서있을께요
늘 곁에서 그대만 바라보며
부족한 날 그대가 다 허락한다면

As always, the translation :

Lee Young Hyun - Response

Whenever your hands out for help, I’ll be there to reach your hand
When you’re happy, I’ll be the first person who gives you a bright smile
This kind of me, also love you

Don’t say that I look like a fool
You don’t even have to say “thank you”
To have you by my side
Just by that makes me happy

The time I can’t bear day by day
And also the tiredness I felt everyday
Because you’re there, because I met you
Just like now, I can bear it

Whenever your hands out for help, I’ll be there to reach your hand
When you’re happy, I’ll be the first person who gives you a bright smile
Thank you, this kind of me looks like fool

Whenever you open your eyes, I’ll be there around your sight
I’ll always by your side, looking at you
If only you can accept the deficient me

Because of this never-ended-love
Why do I keep crying like this

Whenever your hands out for help, I’ll be there to reach your hand
When you’re sad, I will be the first person who hugs you.
Thank you, this kind of me looks like a fool

Whenever you calling out my name, I’ll be around where I can hear you
I’ll always by your side, looking at you
If only you can accept all the deficient me

I will have to admit that I have not gotten over some things and this does makes me think back, opposing to what I promised to my friends I would do. I do think lesser now but there are still times when I can't really control myself. Thinking back, my friends were really right, I have been fantasizing too much and its really out of my reach because I was never a priority just an in-betweener. Actually I have realized that I am not up to expectation much earlier but somehow living in denial for so many years because I just cannot let go.
