Too Love - English Cover (OST from Sungkyunkwan Scandal/ Secret Love)


THE BEAUTIFUL Park Min-Young (Kim Na Na, City Hunter) returns in a romantic comedy, Sungkyunkwan Scandal, released in the Philippines as "Secret Love: Sungkyunkwan Scandal" through ABS-CBN from Monday to Friday 4:15pm during Kapamilya Gold starting October 29, 2012.

As many other Korean dramas, this series will surely be remembered not just because of its plot, and its actors  but also because of its soundtrack.

There's this one particular track that I liked so much, not just because of the caliber of the singer who performed it (Xiah Junsu) but also because of the atmosphere of the song. It's very melancholic, which fits the taste of most hopeless romantic Pinoys ('guess that includes me).

And as in the case of my love for City Hunter OST, "Suddenly", I'm going to have to translate the song in English so I can sing it too. As I've explained in my Suddenly blog, Korean is the Asian French, where most words are not pronounced as they were spelled, so here goes my sing-along translation of Too Love. Hope you all like it.

Too Love (English Cover)

Chorus 1:
You know that my heart belongs to you,
In my mind there's no one e-lse but you,
I- live for you;

Bu-t yo-ur heart longs for someone else,
Would you give me just one chance
To prove my love...

Stanza
I'm sure that I really love you so,
And I wi-ll have to let you go,
For my hea-rt feels like it's about to give up,
I know I can't keep wha-t isn't mine;

Chorus 2:
You know that my heart belongs to you,
In my mind there's no one e-lse but you,
I- live for you;

Bu-t yo-ur heart longs for someone else,
Would you give me just one chance
To prove my love,

'Cause I hate to see you- drift so far away,
'Drift so far away... Ohh...

Bridge:
And when you go please don't look back,
So you won't see my shattered heart;

Chorus 3:
Your memories will always be et-ched in my mind and in my heart there you- will be,
You know that my heart belongs to you,
I am yours forevermore,
I- live for you;

And I hate to see you- drift so far away,
'Drift so far away... Ohh...

Coda:
I run to you, I live for you
I run to you, I live for you
I run to you, I live for you
I run to you...

I run to you, I live for you
I run to you, I live for you
I run to you, I live for you
I run to you...
