Magical Evening Walking in the Rain

Magical Evening Walking in the Rain

When I first met
the love of my life,
My Korean wife in 1982.

We would go for long walks
Often ending with dinner.

After a romantic walk
In the Bi 비 rained
Soaked streets.

As we sat down
At the restaurant
Enjoying a dinner date.

저녁 데이트
Jeonyeog deiteu.

We looked at the menu
Under the ruby red lights
(루비
Lubi)
Of the pub.

And fell in love
Every moment
Looking at each other.

With love blazing
From our eyes.
Sparks flew from heart-to-heart.

(이심촘심
Ishimchomshim.)

It was love
At first sight

(첫눈에 반한 사랑
Cheosnune banhan Sarang)

Forging a deep
Lasting emotional connections.

(감정
Gamjeong)

As we fell deeply
Under each other’s love spell.

The mojo clearly
Working overtime
As Cupid’s arrow struck home.

During the course
Of the magical evening
(저녁
Jeonyeo)
