"Morning Dew" (아침이슬, Achimiseul, Ach'imisŭl, 아침 이슬, Achim Iseul, Ach'im Isŭl) is a song by Kim Min Ki, released as a track of his studio album Kim Min Ki on 1971.
This song was written by Kim Min Ki in 1970, but the sheet music was torn up and thrown in the bin. After Yang Hee Eun put together the torn sheet music, she told him that she wanted to sing that song, and he allowed it. [3] After Yang Hee Eun's song, released in 1971, [4] became a hit, he also sang it about a month later. [1]
Kim Min Ki brought the German musical Linie 1 to South Korea and adapted it, which became a huge hit. After learning about this, members of the Grips-Theater, a German original performance team, translated this song into German, visited South Korea in 2004, and gave it to him as a gift. The title is Morgentau. [5]
Lyrics[]
긴 밤 지새우고 풀잎마다 맺힌
진주보다 더 고운 아침 이슬처럼
내 맘의 설움이 알알이 맺힐 때
아침 동산에 올라 작은 미소를 배운다
태양은 묘지 위에 붉게 떠오르고
한 낮에 찌는 더위는 나의 시련일지라
나 이제 가노라 저 거친 광야에
서러움 모두 버리고 나 이제 가노라
내 맘의 설움이 알알이 맺힐 때
아침 동산에 올라 작은 미소를 배운다
태양은 묘지 위에 붉게 떠오르고
한 낮에 찌는 더위는 나의 시련일지라
나 이제 가노라 저 거친 광야에
서러움 모두 버리고 나 이제 가노라
Gin bam jisaeugo pullimmada maechin
Jinjuboda deo goun achimiseulcheoreom
Nae mame seorumi arari maechil ttae
Achim dongsane olla jageun misoreul baeunda
Taeyangeun myojiwie burkge tteooreugo
Han naje jjineun deowineun nae siryeon iljira
Na ije ganora jeo geochin gwangyae
Seoreoum modu beorigo na ije ganora
Nae mame seorumi arari maechil ttae
Achim dongsane olla jageun misoreul baeunda
Taeyangeun myojiwie burkge tteooreugo
Han naje jjineun deowineun nae siryeon iljira
Na ije ganora jeo geochin gwangyae
Seoreoum modu beorigo na ije ganora
Like the morning dew after a long weary night
Gracing each leaf with a shine finer than pearl's
When sorrows in my heart bead up one by one
I climb on the morning hill to learn a little smile
A blazing red sun rising up over the graveyard
The sweltering heat of the day is only my trials
Here I go now, into the wilderness of badlands
Leaving all the sadness behind, here I go now
When sorrows in my heart bead up one by one
I climb on the morning hill to learn a little smile
A blazing red sun rising up over the graveyard
The sweltering heat of the day is only my trials
Here I go now, into the wilderness of badlands
Leaving all the sadness behind, here I go now
