ROUGH TRANSLATION: 늦은 밤 선잠에서 깨어 현관문 열리는 소리에 부시시한 얼굴 아들, 밥은 먹었느냐 She wakes up in the middle of the night From the sound of the opening of the door Tired face "Son, have you eaten?" 피곤하니 쉬어야겠다며 짜증 섞인 말투로 방문 휙 닫고 나면 들고 오는 과일 한 접시 I'm tired, I just want to sleep He says in a frustrated attitude and tone He goes in his room and slams his door She brings a fruit of plate 엄마도 소녀일 때가 엄마도 나만할 때가 엄마도 아리따웠던 때가 있었겠지 Mom was once a little girl Mom was once my age Mom had a time when she was beautiful and young 그 모든 걸 다 버리고 세상에서 가장 강한 존재 엄마, 엄마로 산다는 것은 아프지 말거라, 그거면 됐다 She gave all of herself The strongest person I know Mom To live as a mom "Always be healthy and well, that is my only desire" (said from mom)
It's a shame so many people watching this can't understand Korean. The lyrics and sad yet beautiful and hearing her sing in time with the lyrics brings tears to my eyes. I wanna call my mom.
I cried everytime i hear this song. My mum is just right next to my room and i feel like wanna hug her and love her. Try watching the fully subtitled kpop star s04 ep2 at kshowonline.com .. The chorus made me love my mum more each seconds.
This song seriously made me reevaluate myself. My moms working 12 hour shifts everyday at a warehouse, coming home so scared and afraid that she'll have a stroke from all the work and exhaustion. The least I could do is massage her everyday and cook for her. Prayers for all the moms out there and many blessings for being a mother!
You are a very special daughter, one any mother would love. Thank you from a mother of 7 children. Your song that you wrote is so beautiful and brought tears to my eyes and such emotion to my heart. God Bless you and may you continue to bless us with your gift of music. Your fan julie from the USA
I cried so much with this song! Like no joke, I'm living in USA, and my mom and dad are in Venezuela, me and my sister had to leave because of how the country is falling apart, and listening g to this just broke me to tears and made me realize how much I love and miss her! But I don't think my love for her can't compare the love she has for me, MOM'S are just the best!
can't help but cry...I think Mom is the same all over the world...she would sacrifice herself to her family, her children...So this is the reason why this song moves a lot...
"Life as a mom" I awoke from a light sleep late at night At the sound of the front door opening Looking disheveled, she asks « Son, did you have dinner? » « I’m tired and going to sleep » I spoke in a irritated voice and closed the door That’s when she bought a plate of fruits There was a time when my mom was a girl There was a time when my mom was my age There was a time when my mom was beautiful There used to be such a time She gave up on all of that And became the strongest in the world Life as a mom, a mom « Don’t get sick, that will do »
I think this chick isn't getting the recognition she deserves on youtube because most of the viewers don't understand korean. While she isn't vocally the best nor can she project the clearest voice, as a composer this is ridiculously beautiful, something people who can sing fcking amazingly can't just whip up. The melody and the lyrics are almost painful, I mean I have a healthy mum at home but this makes me tear up and want to give my mum the world. And since her dream is to be a lyricist/composer in the korean music industry which is predominantly filled with male composers, I really think she is in her element and has a bright future.
I think she projects emotion really well. For me that's half of good music. (The judges echo me on this really). I like for music to take me some place. A memory, a story, anywhere but "Why is this bad". It was like in Dream High 2 when Kang Sora sang "Hello to Myself" and she was so good at projecting that emotion that SHE made the song. (They never did have her release an acoustic version that I know of)
English Lyrics (tried to make the song flow so you can sing along) It's late but she hears the front door creak So she slowly gets herself, out of bed Tired and drained, she asks, "Son, have you eaten tonight?" Not caring I walk up to my room As I mumble back the words "I'm tired so leave me alone" But she'd always bring back a plate of fruits My mom was also once a teen My mom was also once my age My mom was also once so beautiful She must have been She gave up all those things and more To be the strongest person in our lives Mom~ That's living li~fe as a mom. "Be healthy, don't get sick. That's all I ask."
A song that warms the heart for sure. This is the moment when I realize that music isn't only about the skills and flashiness, but really about the lyrical messages that comforts the heart. Made me cry so much :')
I cried so much while remembering my mom whom i havent seen for 5 years leaving beahind each other when i was only 10 years old and growing up as a teenager without my mom is really hard and jealousy at the same time seeing other kids thier mom with them...😢😢😢😭😭😭 This song is really inspiring😊
As a foreigner, I know a little bit of Korean and I can understand some of the lyric. Those lyrics touch my heart. At the same time, my tears are dropping
The lyrics are so touching, I can't stop my tears. 😢 Makes those that might not of appreciated there Mothers (enough) recall on moments when their Mothers sacrificed themselves for the sake of them and (possibly) feel ashamed, or make those that don't really think about how they treat their Mothers and want to make up for it and treat their Mothers better. My Mom...I miss her.
it's so sad that i'm not with my mom. . .this song brought me to tears non-stop. . all the mothers in the world are precious . . . sometimes we maybe not appreciate their efforts. .how they work hard. .we have fights with them. . we hate them and even some curse them until we realize how important mother's . .
wow this is the best finally someone's singing a great Korean ballad about family in competition, i am a fan of this girl now:D I always specially adore ppl who get to sing st outside love:)) i almost cried a bucket after her singing reminds me of my mom so much:(
Music is totally amazing. Eventhough I just understand it's lyric through engsub which maybe lose its full meaning. But this song still move my soul. Thank you and hope you will get best result :)
Beautiful lyrics but I couldn't distract away from the fact that her song "borrows" from a lot of other songs. The melody didn't seem original but a patchwork of other songs.
I found teh translation from the full audio video: Credits to Areum Yoo. ROUGH English Translation: Late at night I wake up from a nap from the sound of the front door opening With a bushy (unkempt) face "Son, did you eat?" If because I'm tired I say I have to rest If with an irritated voice I slam my door shut She (mom) comes with a plate of fruit There must have been A time when mom was a little girl A time when mom was my age A time when mom was beautiful She left all of that and became the strongest existence in the world A mother, to live as a mother So do not hurt (be in pain), that's all that's needed.
outstanding translation, Emily...more then the beautiful lyric she wrote, what i felt and thankful for was fact that, at her age, she truely understood the depths of most of mothers( and fathers) love and sacrifices they make for their daughters and sons everyday...and the last part of the lyric " do not get ill (or stay health), that is all i need (or i'm satisfied with that) " is way way too deep for any children to comprehend until they themselves become parent.
is there social net site in Korea where i can find long lost relatives? i let Korea in '72 at age of 11 and my last visit was back in '81 and lost contact with all my relatives....this song brought back my memories of childhood in Korea. i do speak and read and write Korean but at elementary level...my problem is that i only remember the name of one of my cousin only ( Pak bo young) she should be around 50 years old. we grew up together in Guachun, out skirts of Seoul but last i seen her in '81, she said she was living in deajuni think..pls help. ty.
You came with your parents? Ask them if you can. If you are really desperate, go back to Korea and try to contact anyone in your hometown before you came to the US. I'm really hoping my advice helps becausr this really got me thinking. Good luck.
You can contact kBS, the korean major broadcaster. They are capable to work with you and retrack starting at the very bottom of your life story how you depart from family.
Ughh, people who sing songs like this to win over their audience are so desperate. Her singing and piano skills are nothing out of the ordinary. If she didn't choose such a heart throbbing and tear jerking song, I guarantee none of the judges or the crowd would have given her a second thought. They would have simply told her that she sings well but are not what they are looking for.
A person who can ONLY sing well can only go so far. Like JYP has been saying thought this show: a voice as if you were speaking (a natural/unique voice) and your ability to tell a story and reach the audience.. now THAT deserves some praise.
I have no clue how she comes off as "desperate" in your eyes. She said in her interview that she wants to pursue the path of singer-songwriter. She didn't "choose" the song, she wrote it herself and merely wanted to appeal to the judges. Also, the point of an audition program is to impress the judges/audiences. A bit of "heart throbbing and tear jerking" is completely fine in my opinion. I think she deserves an applause if she jerked a tear out of your eyes rather than criticism.

늦은 밤 선잠에서 깨어
현관문 열리는 소리에
부시시한 얼굴
아들, 밥은 먹었느냐
She wakes up in the middle of the night
From the sound of the opening of the door
Tired face
"Son, have you eaten?"
피곤하니 쉬어야겠다며
짜증 섞인 말투로
방문 휙 닫고 나면
들고 오는 과일 한 접시
I'm tired, I just want to sleep
He says in a frustrated attitude and tone
He goes in his room and slams his door
She brings a fruit of plate
엄마도 소녀일 때가
엄마도 나만할 때가
엄마도 아리따웠던 때가 있었겠지
Mom was once a little girl
Mom was once my age
Mom had a time when she was beautiful and young
그 모든 걸 다 버리고
세상에서 가장 강한 존재
엄마,
엄마로 산다는 것은
아프지 말거라, 그거면 됐다
She gave all of herself
The strongest person I know
Mom
To live as a mom
"Always be healthy and well, that is my only desire" (said from mom)
이 노래 듣고나서 말합시다. 어머니 당신은 내게 제일 소중한 사람입니다. 제게 모든것을 선물하시고 저를위해 모든것을 버리면서 저를 키워주셔서 감사합니다. 진정으로 사랑합니다. 어머니. 건강하게 오래 사세요.
오늘도 못 잊고 여기서 울어요..
It's a shame so many people watching this can't understand Korean. The lyrics and sad yet beautiful and hearing her sing in time with the lyrics brings tears to my eyes. I wanna call my mom.
I agree it would be nice to understand the words of the song. That doesn't mean we can't feel how emotional it is.
True. Still, try reading along with the translated lyrics. It's even more moving.
same i'm going to sleep with her mydear mum T.T this song is so powerfull Thank you lee seol ah
I cried everytime i hear this song. My mum is just right next to my room and i feel like wanna hug her and love her. Try watching the fully subtitled kpop star s04 ep2 at kshowonline.com .. The chorus made me love my mum more each seconds.

"Life as a mom"
I awoke from a light sleep late at night
At the sound of the front door opening
Looking disheveled, she asks
« Son, did you have dinner? »
« I’m tired and going to sleep »
I spoke in a irritated voice and closed the door
That’s when she bought a plate of fruits
There was a time when my mom was a girl
There was a time when my mom was my age
There was a time when my mom was beautiful
There used to be such a time
She gave up on all of that
And became the strongest in the world
Life as a mom, a mom
« Don’t get sick, that will do »

English Lyrics (tried to make the song flow so you can sing along)
It's late but she hears the front door creak
So she slowly gets herself, out of bed
Tired and drained, she asks,
"Son, have you eaten tonight?"
Not caring I walk up to my room
As I mumble back the words "I'm tired so leave me alone"
But she'd always bring back a plate of fruits
My mom was also once a teen
My mom was also once my age
My mom was also once so beautiful
She must have been
She gave up all those things and more
To be the strongest person in our lives
Mom~ That's living li~fe as a mom.
"Be healthy, don't get sick.
That's all I ask."
thank you so much :))
nothing to say but crying.......................
A song that warms the heart for sure. This is the moment when I realize that music isn't only about the skills and flashiness, but really about the lyrical messages that comforts the heart. Made me cry so much :')
가사 진짜 좋다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

stay strong my dear. i'm very sorry to hear that :(
와..................... 이걸 이제 봤다니............. 너무 울었다.
너무좋아요♥
I've watched the English substitle and the lyrics really are no joke... I love you, mom. Thank you Lee Seul Ah.
I cry like hell when I listen this at first without knowing the lyrics, after knowing the meaning of the lyrics I can't stop crying 😭
As a foreigner, I know a little bit of Korean and I can understand some of the lyric. Those lyrics touch my heart. At the same time, my tears are dropping
한국채널을 한국인이못본다는게 말이나 되는일인지 어이가없다 참
I'm so very thankful to translators and for letting me appreciate these lyrics, oh the feels!!!!
never forgetting this song
thank you so much for this beautiful and meaningful song. :(
How fortunate of me that I could understand Korean. The first time I saw her sing this on the show, I couldn't help but cry and run to my mom.
This was raw and beautiful
9 years had been passed, I listen this song when I have spare time.💜
Hot tears on a cold night over a sad song......
i love this song so much
갑자기 집이 생각난다ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
her song makes me cry T__T
i know many singers are great ..but this girl made me cry for the first time in my life ..

Interesting song choice. She must have been good, though, since people were crying.
Me encantó esta canción, se la cantaré a mi madre en español.

건모야, 이 동영상 와서 봐라. 이제 사람 될 시간이다.
I think this girl , really really looks like Mao Asada o:
This song is perfection, it's beauty itself and it's really touching. She has such a talent and I hope there lays a bright future for this girl :')
😥😍
Beautiful lyrics but I couldn't distract away from the fact that her song "borrows" from a lot of other songs. The melody didn't seem original but a patchwork of other songs.
Although I do not understand the words but I cried 😢😭
Can anyone give me the link to the full video (with the judges feedback)?
can somebody tell me the name of the song, i cant read those korean words on the title :(
Can someone please tell her lyrics???

ROUGH English Translation:
Late at night I wake up from a nap
from the sound of the front door opening
With a bushy (unkempt) face
"Son, did you eat?"
If because I'm tired I say I have to rest
If with an irritated voice I slam my door shut
She (mom) comes with a plate of fruit
There must have been
A time when mom was a little girl
A time when mom was my age
A time when mom was beautiful
She left all of that and
became the strongest existence in the world
A mother, to live as a mother
So do not hurt (be in pain),
that's all that's needed.

Oh I'm sorry about that. I'll try to find one for you around 3 to 4 p.m. eastern standard time.
Kun Rhee have you tried searching their names online? If you do not know their names or some hobbies or anything about them, you might be in trouble.
You can contact kBS, the korean major broadcaster.

That the beauty of music, you don't necessarily need to be the best to touch people's heart.
if you're a singer and audiences can't relate to your song then don't even bother to call yourself a singer
A person who can ONLY sing well can only go so far. Like JYP has been saying thought this show: a voice as if you were speaking (a natural/unique voice) and your ability to tell a story and reach the audience.. now THAT deserves some praise.
