The South Korea’s legend of folk music, Sunflower, was appeared as the legend on music program “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend”. Sunflower –yang dalam Bahasa Korea disebut “Haebaragi”– menjadi legenda dalam edisi spesial yang terbagi dalam dua episode, yaitu 95 dan 96. Pemenang dalam edisi spesial Sunflower tersebut tidak lain tidak bukan adalah Yurisangja, duo male vocal yang terkenal sebagai ‘the next Sunflower’. Yurisangja, yang terdiri dari Park Seung Hwa dan Lee Se Jun, tampil membawakan salah satu lagu hits Sunflower yang bertajuk “Love Is Always There” dalam episode 96. Episode ini mengudara pada tanggal 13 April 2013 di stasiun televisi KBS, serta pada tanggal 4 Mei 2013 di channel KBS World.

“Love Is Always There” tells about the things that stay the same in love. It’s about a wondering of love and life. Why people were falling in love, and yet turned away from each other when someone made one mistake, and even said their farewell. We tend to try and learn two things when we don’t know a single thing. And we wonder if we still live that way, we thought that our love for that person would stay the same. Well, there are things that will never change in this life after all. One of them is love that we have in deep of our hearts. Even though it may be in different shapes, but the essence is still the same, and it’s always there. Overall, this is a song that makes us wonder and comforts us at the same time.

Yurisangja menampilkan “Love Is Always There”, yang dirilis pertama kali pada tahun 1986 ini, dengan sangat apik. Bahkan sang legenda, Lee Joo Ho sendiri pun memuji penampilan mereka. Featuring one of Korea’s best guitarists, Ham Chun Ho, they showed the essence of analog sound. Their harmony of voices made their performance sweet and refreshing. Hearing them made it feels like as if the stars are falling from the sky. Somehow, the performance gave off a kind of warm feeling. Indeed, the song itself is loved by people because of its romantic and beautiful lyrics. And now, Yurisangja had taken this song to the next level. They continue the emotion and legacy of Sunflower. And yes, they were definitely worth the win.

“However, our hearts that have the ability to love is always there. It’s love, our hearts that have the ability to love never changes. It’s love, our hearts that have the ability to love is always there.” –Sunflower, Love Is Always There [translated lyrics]

“Uri moduga ilreoganeun maneun geotdeul

(Things that we lose, there are so many things)
Uri moduga saranghaneun maneun saramdeul maneun sigandeul

(Things that we love, there are so many people, there are so many times)

Baramman bulreodo gogaelreul dollineun uri ililo jeolilo

(Whenever the wind blows, we turn our heads here and there)
Galdaecheoreom saekbaraen moseubeulro

(Just like the reeds, our colors are faded away)
Hananeun moreumyeonseo dulreul allyeogo aesseumyeo salji

(We don’t even know one thing, yet we try to learn about two things)

Geureona saranghal su itneun maeumeun eonjena geu jarie

(However, our hearts that have the ability to love is always there)
Sarangeun saranghal su itneun maeumeul byeonhameobsi geu jarie

(It’s love, our hearts that have the ability to love never changes)
Sarangeun saranghal su itneun maeumeun eonjena geu jarie

(It’s love, our hearts that have the ability to love is always there)

Urin modeun geol saranghae urin modeun geol saranghae

(Our everything that we’re in love with, our everything that we love)”
