KISS - Because I'm a Girl



It is a korean movie clip, very famous in asia for its realisation and its nice story

The clip, with a background music Because I'm a girl, from Kiss, recorded by J-entercom, a Korean record company.

This movie clip was so popular, that many versions of the song were produced, in many languages, as english, mandarin, cantonese, and even tagalog.
Lyrics from Because I'm a girl are far from the meaning of the clip's story.

At the end of the clip, you can hear a man's voice, which is not part of the Kiss song. It was actually some love words from par Shin Hyun Joon to Goo Hye Jin. She had a boyfriend at this time, but broke with him to go with Shin Hyun Joon.
"There is someone I love... Although I can't be with her now... I'm still in love with her..."

ACTORS: Goo Hye Jin & Shin Hyun Joon

In a traditional way


Verse 1
Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
Arirang gogaero neomeoganda.
Nareul beorigo gasineun nimeun
Simnido motgaseo balbyeongnanda

Verse 2
Cheongcheonghaneuren byeoldo manko
Urine gaseumen kkumdo manta

Verse 3
Jeogi jeo sani Baekdusaniraji
Dongji seotdaredo kkonman pinda


Meaning:
Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo...
I am crossing over Arirang Pass.
The man/woman who abandoned me
Will not walk even ten li before his/her feet hurt.

Just as there are many stars in the clear sky,
There are also many dreams in our heart.

There, over there that mountain is Baekdu Mountain,
Where, even in the middle of winter days, flowers bloom.
