정준일 (Jung Joon-Il) – 안아줘 (Hug Me)

Don’t we all have those moments when the whole world seems to be against us? Nothing goes our way and no matter how hard we try, deep inside there’s that fear of ending up with nothing but aching emptiness. Well this song captures just that.
Jung Joon-IlSongs like these always have some kind of back story to them, so I decided do some digging. It turns out Jung was involved in a pretty complicated dispute with his “current” wife back in 2010. I don’t want to give too much explanation, but in the end, it was a story of two lovers who slowly but without a doubt started to break apart. They both saw it coming and neither of them wanted it to end, yet nothing could be done to save their relationship. As if that wasn’t enough, the inevitable bitter end was aggravated by petty marriage registration/divorce/money issues. What a way to end a 4 year relationship.

Still, you don’t need the back story or the lyrics to feel the overwhelming emotions in his voice. Listening to the song, I find myself wanting to cry out for his helplessness and sorrow. It’s lovely. I swear I’m not a masochist though. Enjoy the song .

정준일 – 안아줘

서러운 맘을 못 이겨
잠 못 들던 어둔 밤을 또 견디고
내 절망관 상관없이
무심하게도 아침은 날 깨우네

상처는 생각보다 쓰리고
아픔은 생각보다 깊어 가
널 원망하던 수많은 밤이
내겐 지옥 같아

내 곁에 있어줘 내게 머물러줘
네 손을 잡은 날 놓치지 말아줘
이렇게 네가 한 걸음 멀어지면
내가 한 걸음 더 가면 되잖아

하루에도 수천 번씩
네 모습을 되뇌이고 생각했어
내게 했던 모진 말들
그 싸늘한 눈빛 차가운 표정들

넌 참 예쁜 사람이었잖아
넌 참 예쁜 사람이었잖아
제발 내게 이러지 말아줘
넌 날 잘 알잖아

내 곁에 있어줘 내게 머물러줘
네 손을 잡은 날 놓치지 말아줘
이렇게 네가 한 걸음 멀어지면
내가 한 걸음 더 가면 되잖아

내겐 내가 없어 난 자신이 없어
네가 없는 하루 견딜 수가 없어
이젠 뭘 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠어
네가 없는 난

그냥 날 안아줘 나를 좀 안아줘
아무 말 말고서 내게 달려와 줘
외롭고 불안하기만 한 맘으로
이렇게 널 기다리고 있잖아

난 너를 사랑해 난 너를 사랑해
긴 침묵 속에서 소리 내 외칠게
어리석고 나약하기만 한 내 마음을
Jung Joon-Il – Hug Me

Can’t bear the sorrow in me,
Enduring the night unable to fall asleep.
Despite my despair the dawn
Wakes me up without a single care.

It hurts more than I expected,
It’s creeping deeper than I thought.
All the nights I spent resenting you
For me just feels like hell.

Stay beside me, stay with me.
Don’t let go of me and my hand.
If you take one step away from me,
All I need to do is take one towards you.

Thousands times over a day
I remembered and thought of you.
Your pointy words,
Your cold stare, all the smiles lost somewhere.

You were so beautiful,
You were so beautiful.
Please don’t do this to me,
You know me so well.

Stay beside me, stay with me.
Don’t let go of me and my hand.
If you take one step away from me,
All I need to do is take one towards you.

I’m no longer myself, I can’t do it.
A day without you is not worth living.
I don’t know what to do anymore,
This is me without you.

Just hug me, please just hug me,
Don’t say a word and come towards me.
With all the loneliness and uncertainty,
Can’t you see I’m still waiting for you.

I love you, I love you.
I’ll break the long and painful silence
With my foolish, futile love for you.

i love this song so much already, but the meaning wants me to love it even more. his voice is already very mesmerizing with the tone of this song. i love him so much even though he is almost 4 times my age.
