Carry On (English Cover) - Faith OST

Finally, Lee Min Ho has another soap and this time, it's an epic drama entitled "Faith" which depicts the love between a warrior from the Goryeo Period and a female doctor from the present day, their love transcending time and space.

I haven't seen it yet (and I will, very very soon), but I'm sure that it will still exceed my expectations of a Korean drama knowing that Min Ho is on board. The first time I found out about this latest drama was only via Youtube while reading some comments on a k-drama trailer uploaded by an account holder I am currently subscribed to, and the viewers have been talking about which TV station has acquired the latest soaps.

So there they were (the fans), flooding the wall with comments about this year's releases, and what caught my attention was this comment about a Min Ho drama called Faith. Out of curiosity, I searched for videos about this latest soap, and found out that it also has promising soundtracks, one of which is Carry On. When I first heard it, I knew it's going to be a challenging song to cover, let alone to translate. Good thing, the video I found has English translations which surprisingly used words that are almost "sing-able", and needed only a few paraphrasing to fit the song's timing.

I originally planned this cover to be rendered first by my niece, Molly, but she's quite busy taking care of her 11 month-old daughter, so I decided to release my version first. So here goes a male cover of Ali's Carry On, from Faith (and if my niece won't really do the cover, I was hoping that my favorite cover singers, either StudioSylar or Fylia Kitahara would do it instead - i have the female version instrumental ready to be sang along with).

Ali (Faith OST) - Carry on English Translation:
(Paraphrased version)

Ohh yeahh.. Hmmn..

Verse 1
As we’re in the same time, I--- see you smile
No-w only you are in my eyes
Just li-ke fa-te, ea-ch day gets filled with you
It feels like a thousand years has passed

Refrain
I- only fe-el you
A-gainst my whi-te skin
(And) Your breath (it) softly touches me
I- dre-am every day
Ohh, tru-ly, like a lie
You came to me without a word

Chorus
The moment you began to breathe
That's when you became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you always
I want to live, I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

Verse 2
(An-d) In the same space, I am fal-ling for you
No-w only you can feel my heart
(Ooh) You keep pacing, pa-ci-ng through my heart
And reaching out my hand is like touching you

Refrain
I- only fe-el you
A-gainst my whi-te skin
(And) Your breath (it) softly touches me
I- dre-am every day
Ohh, tru-ly, like a lie
You came to me without a word

Chorus
The moment you began to breathe
That's when you became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you always
I want to live, I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

Chorus 2
I- lo-ve you
You- became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you always
I want to live, I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
I love you... wooh..

Every time you’re near me, every time you smile at me
You become the only one I see
Looking into your eyes I see all that we can be
With a glance a thousand years go by

Oh, I feel you next to me
Your warm touch against my skin
And each I breathe I take you in
Dreaming on my own at night
Living a lie outside all day
When you come the world just fades away

Cos we were always meant to be
When you breathe you bring life to me
All I dream and all I love is you
Now and for all eternity
Just carry on holding me
I love you and this is destiny

Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

Every time you touch me, I forget just where I am
You’re the only one who’ll understand
I’ve surrendered my heart, now you hold it in your hand And with every beat I know you’re here

Oh, I feel you next to me
Your warm touch against my skin
And each time I breathe I take you in
Dreaming on my own all night
Living a lie outside all day
When you come the world just fades away

Cos we were always meant to be
When you breathe you bring life to me
All I dream and all I love is you
Now and for all eternity
Just carry on holding me
I love you and this is destiny

Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

Always I’ll love you
When you breathe you bring life to me
All I dream and all I love is you
Now and for all eternity
Just carry on holding me
I love you and this is destiny
I love you
I love you
