[Song] Flower Pot (화분) - Loveholic

"화분" is one of my favourite Korean songs. I first heard it on the Coffee Prince OST and liked it straight away, even though I did't understand a word of it. For a period after that I kept on playing it again and again many times a day. Every time I heard it my heart ached a little, such sadness and so full of yearning.

I haven't played this song for a while now, today I decided to put on Loveholic's "Dramatic & Cinematic" album while soaking up the sun in the garden, then "화분" came on and I remembered all over again why I loved this song. So I thought it is about time that I put up another song post, and here it is.

"화분" (Flower Pot) by Loveholic

멀리서 멀리서 멀리서 From far away, far away, far away
그대가 오네요 You come to me
이 떨리는 마음을 어떻게 말해야 하나요 How should I describe my trembling heart
그댄 처음부터 나의 마음을 빼앗고 From the start you stole my heart
나을 수 없는 병을 내게 주었죠 And gave me an illness without a cure
화분이 될래요 I want to become a pot of flower
나는 늘 기도 하죠 I pray everyday
난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요 I'll be a pot of flower on your small windowsill
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도 Even if I can't say a thing, even if I can't wish
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며 While receiving your smile and caress from time to time
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 볼 수 있겠죠 I'll be able to watch your face as you sleep
멀리도 멀리도 멀리도 Far away, far away, far away
그대가 가네요 You go away from me
떨어지는 눈물을 어떻게 달래야 하나요 What should I do about the falling tears
그댄 처음부터 나의 마음을 가졌고 From the start you had my heart
나을 수 없는 병을 앓게 한 거죠 And made me suffer an illness without a cure
화분이 되고픈 나는 늘 기도하죠 I pray everyday to become a pot of flower
난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요 I'll be a pot of flower on your small windowsill
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도 Even if I can't say a thing, even if I can't wish
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며 While receiving your smile and caress from time to time
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 볼 수 있겠죠 I'll be able to watch your face as you sleep
난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될께요 I'll be a pot of flower on your small windowsill
아무 말 못해도 바랄 수 없어도 Even if I can't say a thing, even if I can't wish
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며 While receiving your smile and caress from time to time
잠든 그대 얼굴 한 없이 볼 수 있겠죠 I'll be able to watch your face as you sleep

You can get the "Dramatic & Cinematic" album from iTunes.

Some of the other songs that I like from this album are:-

  • Echo (메아리)
  • Doll's Dream (인형의 꿈)
  • If Only (그대만 있다면)
  • Garden (정원)
  • Mirage (신기루)

I like most of the songs by Loveholic (러브홀릭) and especially love Jisun's voice (sweet with a hint of breathlessness) but sadly the original band is no more since Jisun's departure in 2007. I haven't tried the renamed band Loveholics ((러브홀릭스), maybe I will give it a listen one day.
