Tuesday night at Korean class I met some fellow Minnesotans from the class right before mine. When Minnesotans meet outisde of MN, usually bonds of a shared homeland are immediately formed. We're clique-y like that. They said, "Hey, wanna sing Rudolph with us in the Christmas program?" They were probably just being nice, but I was like "Sure!"
So I had two days to learn Rudolph in Korean in order to perform it tonight at the Yeoksam Global Village Center's Christmas Party.
In order to get the pronunciation down, I spent a good chunk of time at work this morning browsing youtube and trying to sing along with Korean superstar BoA. (If the Korean taxpayers only knew...) She's really famous in Japan, so in this clip, she sings it first in Japanese, then Korean, then English.
Here are the Korean lyrics if you want to sing along ;)
루돌프 사슴코는
매우 반짝이는 코
만일 네가 봤다면
불 붙는다 했겠지
다른 모든 사슴들
놀려대며 웃었네
가엾은 저 루돌프
외톨이가 되었네
안개 낀 성탄절날
산타 말하길
루돌프 코가 밝으니
썰매를 끌어주렴
그후론 사슴들이 그를 매우 사랑했네
루돌프 사슴코는 길이길이 기억되리
