Korean visualisation of 'Ta Kormia Kai Ta Mahairia'

Who would have thought that a Greek song would find its perfect visualisation in a Korean drama?

THE DRAMA - Chuno (2010)
Chuno follows the story of Lee Dae Gil, a man of high birth whose family was ruined when Won Ki Yoon, a slave, burnt down his house and escaped with his sister, Un Nyun, who was in love with Dae Gil. Driven by his desire for revenge, he survived his harsh years on the street and made his name as a slave hunter, dedicated in his pursuit to find Un Nyun, his first and only love. Song Tae Ha is a General of the Army who became a slave after being falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, and finds himself on the run from Dae Gil's relentless pursuit. Both men become entangled in a love triangle with Un Nyun, who is no longer a runaway slave, but Kim Hye Won, a nobleman's daughter.

THE SONG - Ta kormia kai ta mahairia/Bodies and Knives (1994)
Composer: Ara Dinkjian
Lyrics: Mihalis Ganas - Lina Nikolakopoulou
Singer: Eleftheria Arvantitaki

Lyrics
Bodies and knives,
oh well, they sometimes change hands,
the scars they leave behind
they are painful and they are forever.

Touch me, kiss me, breath me in,
hide in me, live in me,
like old wine, treasure me
a body is not only an embrace,
ah, a body is not only an embrace
it is a country that will turn into foreign soil.

The birds and the crickets
oh well, they sing for so many years
that the apples are so moved
they turn red.

Bodies and knives,
if only they don't fall into the wrong hands,
or someone will get killed
and who'll take responsibility for it?

In the midst of the party,
that person who knows pain
and the sweetness of the knife
holds the tambourine higher.

Haven't had the chance to watch this show yet. Did they actually play this song in the show at this part?

[antigoni42]

@binny85 No, they didn't. While watching this scene, I immediately thought of this song, so I made the video. I used clips from episode 15 (at the very end) and episode 16 (at the beginning). Hope you liked it, dp:-))

@antigoni42 Oic, yes I do! Pity I haven't got the time to watch the full show online. Got to know about it via youtube and interest grew from the OST + fan made MVs. Wow, you have great musical knowledge. I haven't heard of the Greek sound before I saw this upload by you. Very cool work you've done. :)

[antigoni42]

@binny85 Many thanks! I should say, however, that my musical knowledge is not great, I just happen to be Greek and you'd be hard pressed to find a Greek who doesn't know this song:-))

[binny85]

@antigoni42 :) A Greek watching a Korean show. Wow! Do you know korean or do you look at the subtitles?

[antigoni42]

@binny85 I wish I did but unfortunately I don't. Having watched so many Korean dramas though I've picked up a few words. For example, I know that depending on your sex (not sure if binny is a male or a female name) and taking into account our age difference, you could call me either 'noona' or 'unni':-))

horrible song....

[binny85]

@antigoni42 Haha. Binny isn't my name, I just use it cos my name has a 'Bin' in it. :P What's noona and unni? Btw, do you have facebook? (If you don't mind can send me via message? Cheers!)
