The Happiness of Love

The Happiness of Love


Hello, hello, I hope this is the right number.

I'm calling from America.

My name is C. H. Lik, professor of Harvard University.

I'd like to speak one of your professors, Yeo.

And who is this with heart-melting voice?

Hana what, pardon me, excuse my languague,

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but would you repeat

your heavenly name just one more time?

Hanarum, Wow, It's a real beauty.

Who gave you this sweet name?

Oh, I wish I were in Seoul, Korea.

Oh, I would give up everything for your voice,

And anything for your name.

What, excuse me again,

Tens of thousands of Korean girls have that name?

Oh, my god, but yours must be special.

It must be with your heart-melting voice,

You know, it gives me élan vital.

If I fly to you right this moment,

Will you accept my love?

Can't you see we're made for each other.

What, excuse my language just one more time.

You already have a lover, fiancé.

Oh my god, the heaven is falling down,

The earth and the sea are confounded.

Don't you know you and I are a cosmic destiny?

Can't you see we are one, so

We can't be separated from each other.

What, excuse me, girl, this is last time.

You can't. You can't be separated from him.

You never. Are you sure? Positive?

He said the exactly same words to you,

Who is this guy? this goddamn fellow?

Isn't his name, Kil, then I have to Kill him.

Isn't his name, C. H., then I will be him.
