Remembering the start of the Korean War 60 years ago. A VERY passionate performance by Kim Young-im.

This was so effectively used in Ki-duk Kim's wonderful "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring".

I noticed there is a link to a clip of the film a bit further down. I urge you to click on it.

Also, bixlerscott here has some interesting things to say.

This is one of the most moving pieces of music, and I am not even Korean.

This is the version heard in the 4 seasons movie, but the version you hear in Jeongseon Korea is different. It is the same attitude, similar sound, and meaning though; just a bit different. The movie version is very traditional sounding as can be and does indeed clearly mention, "Gangwondo," which is the Eastern rural province of Korea where the movie is set. After going there, it's not quite as rural as I had imagined coming from the midwestern USA. Beautiful green space though.

no, i think its incredible... i just think that she would do something really interesting with it. a different perspective maybe?

This translation isn't really accurate and it's not for the "Jeongseon Arirang" which is the arirang performed here.

WIKIPEDIA:

"Arirang" is arguably the most popular and best-known Korean folk song, both inside and outside Korea. Arirang is an ancient native Korean word with no direct modern meaning. 'Ari' means "beautiful" (For example 아리따운 native Korean word means "beautiful", "lovely", "charming") 'Rang' can mean "dear". Because of those words, arirang could be interpreted to mean "beautiful dear"; however, this modern interpretation is unlikely to match the original (ancient) meaning.

7th Verse:

Birds in the morning sing simply to eat;

Birdes in the evening sing for love sweet.

8th Verse:

When man has attained to the age of a score,

The mind of a woman should be his love.

9th Verse:

The trees and the flowers will bloom for aye,

But the glories of youth will soon fade away.
