SMROOKIES.com Greeting:

슬픔속에 그댈 지워야만 해~ 여러분 이 노래 혹시 기억하시나요?

네~ 제가 바로 드라마 '미미'의 OST중 '슬픔 속에 그댈 지워야만 해'를 부른 웬디입니다 ^^ 

어렸을 때부터 음악을 좋아해서 노래도 많이 부르고 악기도 많이 배웠었는데요~

(요즘은 기타도 열심히 연습하고 있어요~^^)

이제는 여러분께 제 노래를 들려드릴 수 있어서 무척 행복합니다!!

아! 그거 아세요?

제 이름 Wendy의 뜻이 도움을 주는 친구래요~ㅎㅎ 
앞으로 여러분들께 노래로 도움을 줄 수 있는 친구가 되겠습니다!
다음에 또 새로운 모습 보여드릴테니까 저 Wendy 잊지 말고 기억해주세용~~♡

"In my sorrow I must forget you"~  Everyone, do you remember this song by chance?

Yes~ I am Wendy who sang "In My Sorrow I Must Forget You" for the drama "MIMI"'s OST. ^^

Because I've liked music since I was young, I sang a lot and learned to play a lot of instruments~

(Lately I'm diligently practicing the guitar~ ^^)

Now since I'm able to sing for you all, I'm extremely happy!!

Ah!  Did you know?

My name means "a friend who gives assistance"~ hee hee

In the future I will become a friend who can give you all assistance through song!

Next time I think I will show you a fresh image again, so please don't forget and remember me~~<3

Just A Few Words:
I didn't listen to this earlier because I didn't have the time when it first came out.  However, after listening to Wendy's cover of Taylor Swift's "Speak Now", I just had to check it out!  I don't know about you, but Wendy is now my bias!
[Edit:  4/21/14]

English:  10 /10
There's no English in the song (though I doubt it would be fine seeing as how her cover of "Speak Now" went and that she was raised in Canada as an English speaker) but the English in the title is fine.

Translation Difficulty:  4 / 10
Ballads are always a little difficult for me just because I'm not good with Korean imagery.  I'm not exactly sure what some of it means, much like a Korean speaker translating an English song might not understand our imagery.  Also lines like "외로웠었던 나의 메마른 그 두 눈에" doesn't translate well into English.
