Ivy - Love, what do I do?

ay_link May 20th, 2008

When I read that Ivy will be debuting as an actress in SBS Korean-Japanese collaboration 4 episodes drama, Tokyo Showers, I was like, “Oh, okay, so she’ll be in a drama.” But little did I know that I’d be gushing about her song, “Love, what do I do?” after watching her upcoming drama, Tokyo Showers on Youtube. The song, her voice and the lyrics seem to match really well to the theme of the drama.

Ivy debuted in 2005 with the first album called My Sweet and Free Day with a sexy image, but after watching her performing live on music shows, I become to like her strong vocals. In 2006, she didn’t have any album maybe to prepare for her 2nd album A Sweet Moment in early 2007. Unfortunately, one of the album’s song’s music video (Temptation of Sonata) caused a lot of controversy and was banned because a South Korean court ruled that it illegally copied a scene from Japanese game company Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Due to her popularity and strong marketing *lol* she was in Shinhwa

Last year, Ivy came to the Hollywood Bowl so I had the chance to see her performing live in person. But since I wasn’t familiar to her songs, I didn’t think much of her at that time. But when talking about Ivy, if you’re familiar with the Kpop entertainment, you’d remember all the scandalous news the media reported about her. Sadly, the Korean media is like a hawk watching for every mistake from these artists, and she happened to be in the hotspot last year.

Glad to know she’s bouncing back this year and scored a role in Tokyo Showers, premiering on June 2 after the SBS Mon-Tue drama I Love You.

Ivy 사랑아 어떻게 (Love, what do I do?) english lyrics translation

You rejected me as if shoving me away
but when I stand in the road you left, I can’t breathe
Even though a year passed
whenever I walk that road, my heart hurts
It’s about time I got exahusted
but the tears that wake me up at night aren’t drying
The words that are completely wet in my room- “I love you”
That one sentence that still makes my heart feel like exploding

My love, what do I do, love
How can you leave me by myself when
you were my everything
I will wipe my tears and try forget you again today
What can I do, parting is a process nobody is sure about

When I realise that I still kept the gift you gave me
I pause at that memory
The words we said together- “I love you”
I can never say them away

My love, what do I do, love
How can you leave me by myself when
you were my everything
I will wipe my tears and try forget you again today
What can I do, parting is a process nobody is sure about

Can you come back to me so I can live
Please, however you want, come back
Help so I can hold you again

My tears, I’m begging you, tears, will you tell him
I still love him foolishly
My tears say that I should find another love and send you off
But I can I do that
Even if a similiar chance comes again, it’ll be you

    Yeah, I like her singing ballads more than those *ahem* Britney Spears Inspired songs. It suits her better, don’t u think? She’s able to showcase more of her sweet melodic voice.
