My favorite shower song is \u2018\uc5b4\uba38\ub2d8\uaed8\u2019 (To Mother) by \uc9c0\uc624\ub514 (g.o.d.). This male group band has been loved by Koreans since 1999. They have other popular songs, but I love \u2018\uc5b4\uba38\ub2d8\uaed8\u2019. Somehow, the melody of this song gets stuck in my head when I am in the shower. Today, I am going to translate part of the song for you. You may understand why I enjoy humming the song in the shower.<\/p>\n<p>To help you understand better the context of the song, Ja-Jang-Myeon is not traditional Korean food, but it is one of the most popular dishes in Korea. Koreans consider it \uc11c\ubbfc\uc74c\uc2dd(Seo-Min-Eum-sik: food that most people eat). It\u2019s affordable and simple food. However, the lyrics indicate that his family couldn\u2019t afford two bowls of the noodle dish for both him and his mother because they were so poor. In this song, he is reminiscing after his mother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\uc5b4\uba38\ub2d8<\/em><em>, (Mother,) <\/em><em>\ubcf4\uace0<\/em> <em>\uc2f6\uc5b4\uc694<\/em> <em>(I miss you.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\uc5b4\ub824\uc11c<\/em> <em>\ubd80\ud130<\/em> <em>\uc6b0\ub9ac<\/em> <em>\uc9d1\uc740<\/em> <em>\uac00\ub09c\ud588\uc5c8\uace0<\/em><em> (My family was poor since I was young.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\ub0a8\ub4e4<\/em> <em>\ub2e4\ud558\ub294<\/em> <em>\uc678\uc2dd<\/em> <em>\uba87<\/em> <em>\ubc88<\/em> <em>\ud55c\uc801\uc774<\/em> <em>\uc5c6\uc5c8\uace0<\/em> <em>(We had never eaten out like all others do.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\uc77c\ud130\uc5d0<\/em> <em>\ub098\uac00\uc2e0<\/em> <em>\uc5b4\uba38\ub2c8<\/em> <em>\uc9d1\uc5d0<\/em> <em>\uc5c6\uc73c\uba74<\/em> <em>(When my mom went out for work,)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\uc5b8\uc81c\ub098<\/em> <em>\ud63c\uc790\uc11c<\/em> <em>\ub04a\uc5ec<\/em> <em>\uba39\uc5c8\ub358<\/em> <em>\ub77c\uba74<\/em><em> \u00a0<\/em><em>(I was always left alone and I ate instant Ramen noodles.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\uadf8\ub7ec\uc790<\/em> <em>\ub77c\uba74\uc774<\/em> <em>\ub108\ubb34<\/em> <em>\uc9c0\uaca8\uc6e0\uc5b4<\/em> <em>(And then, I got sick of eating the same Ramen every day.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>\ub9db\uc788\ub294<\/em> <em>\uac83<\/em> <em>\uc880<\/em> <em>\uba39\uc790\uace0<\/em> <em>\ub300\ub4e4\uc5c8\uc5b4<\/em><em>.
