Yoo Jae Ha adalah seorang singer songwriter yang meninggal di usia muda, yaitu 25 tahun, karena kecelakaan mobil pada bulan November 1987. Naasnya, ia meninggal hanya kurang dari tiga bulan setelah album perdana dan satu-satunya, “Because I Love You”, dirilis. Dalam program “Immortal Songs 2” yang menampilkan Yoo Jae Ha sebagai legend itu, solois pria Ha Dong Kyun tampil membawakan lagu bertajuk “You In My Arms”, yang termuat sebagai salah satu hits dalam album Yoo Jae Ha.
Diciptakan sendiri oleh almarhum
Yoo Jae Ha untuk cinta pertamanya, lirik lagu “You In My Arms” menggambarkan
perasaan seseorang yang tengah dimabuk cinta secara puitis nan indah. The thing is, Ha Dong Kyun said in his interview before his performance that he
interpreted this song in a sexual way. Well,
after understanding the translation of
its lyrics, I couldn’t help but
thinking the same as him. When we
fall in love and this love is on its peak, we couldn’t help but wanting to be always near to that person we love.
If we could become anything, we would as long as we could be near to that
person. Even if the world came to an
end, we would follow that person up
until the end. Indeed, love is like a sanctuary, a home, a place to rest, and a place
we always long for.

Dudungsil ttoganeun jjokbereul tago geudae hosuye momeulgo sipeora
(Floating on a canoe, I want to stay on your lake)
Manil geudae nae gyeoteul tteonandamyeon
(If you ever leave my side)
Kkeut kkaji ttareuri jeo kkeut kkaji ttareuri nae sarang

Geudae nae pume angyeo nuneul gamayo
(Come in my arms and close your eyes)
Geudae nae pume angyeo sarange kkum na nwoyo
(Come in my arms, let’s dream about our love)
Suljane bichineun oyoppeun geudaeye miseo

Sareureu dalkomhan waini dweo geudae ipsure datgeo sipeora
(I want to become sweet wine and touch your lips)
Nae chwihan du nunen neomu maneun geudaeye moseup
(In my drunken eyes I see many of you)

(I want to become your fragrance and dance around you)
Odumi chajadeuro maeum gadeuk gidael geosi piryeohal ttae
