“Whenever
my heart feels lonely, I think of that day. Whenever I long for that day, I
wander in my dream.” –Cho Yong Pil, Bobbed
Hair [translated lyrics]
Almarhum
Park Geon Ho adalah penulis lirik legendaris Korea Selatan. Dari tangannya
telah terlahir 3.000 lirik lagu yang menyertai perjalanan industri musik di
sana. Episode 140 program acara musik “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend”
menghadirkan kembali lagu-lagu hits
karya Park Geon Ho. Salah satu lagu yang dibawakan dalam episode tersebut
adalah “Bobbed Hair” yang dipopulerkan pertama kali pada tahun 1980 oleh
penyanyi legendaris, Cho Yong Pil. Dalam episode yang mengudara pada tanggal 15
Februari 2014 di stasiun televisi KBS dan pada tanggal 8 Maret 2014 di channel KBS World ini “Bobbed Hair”
dibawakan oleh boy group Teen Top dan
100%, yang sebelumnya pernah berkolaborasi dan memenangkan trophy “Immortal Songs 2” pada episode 106, yaitu edisi spesial
Park Nam Jung. Berbeda dari penampilan sebelumnya, kali ini Teen Top dan 100% unjuk
kebolehan atas kemampuan vokal mereka dengan membawakan lagu “Bobbed Hair”
dengan aransemen harmony ballad orchestra.
“Bobbed Hair” is a song
about a boy who is attracted to a girl with a short hair,
without even know whom she is or even her
name. That girl was once approaching
him, just only for a short time. Hence, unknowingly, that short time
lasts forever. “The girl who once upon a time gave me a bouquet of flowers.
Out of any other days, I don’t know why but I particularly miss her today. Her
neat bobbed hair was likethe grass that getting wet from the rain. Her
sparkling eyes rekindled the fire in my heart.” Everything about her just seems so fine in his eyes. And so, unknowingly, he keeps longing
for her. “Whenever my heart feels lonely, I think of that day. Whenever I
long for that day, I wander in my dream.” Somehow,
the short meeting with that girl became a
source of strength for him. Knowing
that there’s still somebody out there who loves and supports him always, unconditionally. Although as the time is passing by, it may seems like a distant and vague dream right now, he will never forget that one precious
memory. “I never forget this longing since she left. I hate the passing
time without that girl.”
Versi
original “Bobbed Hair” adalah lagu pop
band dengan medium tempo. Lagu
dengan irama ceria ini termuat dalam album perdana Cho Yong Pil yang terjual
lebih dari satu juta salinan, yang pada waktu itu adalah yang pertama kalinya
terjadi dalam sejarah industri musik Korea Selatan. Grup band legendaris, 015B,
merilis versi remake dari “Bobbed
Hair” yang menjadi bagian dari album kelima mereka pada tahun 1994. Lagu ini
melegenda dalam industri hiburan Korea Selatan dan kerap muncul dalam berbagai
acara televisi sebagai theme song,
baik itu variety shows maupun serial
drama. Meskipun pada akhirnya Teen Top dan 100% tidak berhasil memenangkan satu
round pun dalam “Immortal Songs 2”,
keberanian mereka dalam mempertunjukkan sesuatu yang belum pernah mereka
lakukan sebelumnya patut diacungi jempol. Indeed,
with its delight melody and ear-catchy
lyrics, “Bobbed Hair” always has this
kind of magical feeling for anyone who hear it, at anytime in anywhere.
“I
never forget this longing since she left. I hate the passing time without that
girl.” –Cho Yong Pil, Bobbed Hair
