Program
acara musik “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend” menampilkan Lee Chi Hyun
sebagai legenda dalam episode 152. Episode ini mengudara di stasiun televisi
KBS pada tanggal 14 Juni 2014, serta ditayangkan pada tanggal 5 Juli 2014 di channel KBS World. Lee Chi Hyun adalah singer-songwriter yang merupakan frontman dari grup band Lee Chi Hyun and
the Botnimdeul. Grup band ini berjaya pada tahun 1980-an dengan musiknya yang
unik dan eksploratif. Salah satu lagu hits
yang ditulis sendiri oleh Lee Chi Hyun beserta rekannya Lee Yong Kyun, bertajuk “Only You”, dibawakan oleh
solois pria Lee Jung dalam program “Immortal Songs 2” tersebut.
“Only You” is a love
song.
It’s about a man who expresses his
sincere love for his woman, through
this song; that he doesn’t need
anything else if he had her; that he
doesn’t want anything more if he got her. “Even if the sun shines brightly,
what good does it do to me? Only you, my beautiful lady, who could be the light
for me.” Because there’s no brighter
light than her in his life. Because
there’s no warmer hug than hers for his life. “Even if the soft moonlight
shines, what good does it do to me? Only your fragrant hair that could give me
a warm hug.” As he pours all of his love
and feelings out to her, he hopes
that she wouldn’t say goodbye, ever.
He hopes that they could be just simply
together like this, forever. “My
love, don’t say goodbye, please look at me with love. I want to keep my love
like this forever.”

Pertama
kali dirilis pada tahun 1980, “Only You” merupakan bagian dari album kedua Lee
Chi Hyun and the Botnimdeul. This song
was praised for its stylish instrumental music. Besides, its lyrics and
cheerful yet warm melody stand out. At
the time Lee Chi Hyun wrote this song, he
came up with a melody while thinking about his future wife. Pada tahun
1997, penyanyi legendaris Korea Selatan lainnya, Kim Gun Mo, membuat cover atas lagu “Only You” yang termuat
dalam album kelimanya, “Myself”. Versi ini menjadi populer walaupun bukan
merupakan title song dari album
tersebut. Versi original lagu ini merupakan lagu pop blues dengan medium tempo.
Sementara versi remake oleh Kim Gun
Mo memiliki aransemen pop R n’ B,
yang dikombinasi dengan rap part dan
nuansa dance music dengan tempo mid-beat. Pada program “Immortal Songs 2”,
Lee Jung mengaransemen lagu ini menjadi ballad
R n’ B dengan slow-medium tempo
dan sentuhan jazz. Karena melodi
dasar lagu ini yang memang sudah enak didengar, “Only You” pun nikmat untuk didengarkan
dalam berbagai aransemen. Even until
today, “Only You” is a popular
masterpiece that has been sung by many singers over the years. It’s sweetly everlasting.
“My
love, don’t say goodbye, please look at me with love. I want to keep my love
like this forever.” –Lee Chi Hyun and the Botnimdeul, Only You

“Nunbusin haetsali
bichwo jueodo jege museun soyong itgetseoyo
(Even
if the sun shines brightly, what good does it do to me?)
Itorok areumdaun
dangsinmani naege bitji doeneungeol
(Only
you, my beautiful lady, who could be the light for me)
Euneunhan dalbitji
gamssajueodo jege museun soyong itgetseoyo
(Even
if the soft moonlight shines, what good does it do to me?)
Hyanggeuthan geudaeui
meorigyeolmani pogeunhi gamssajuneungeol
(Only
your fragrant hair that could give me a warm hug)
Geudaeyeo annyeongiran
maleun marayo sarangui nunbimaneul juseyo
(My
love, don’t say goodbye, please look at me with love)
Idaero yeongwonhi nae
sarang ganjikhagopa
(I
want to keep my love like this forever)”
