바우고개 -
엄정행
이홍렬 작시 작곡.
Note: This
song is one of the songs
published in 1934 by
HeungRyeol Lee, the composer
and poet of the song. This
song has been lovingly sung
by Koreans all these days
for its
appeal to commoners for its
simplicity and down to earth
mood that it provides with.
Sad melody in the song
reminds of a naïve girl in
her puberty and also
Koreans' sadness
during that era when Koreans
endured under harsh Japanese
rules.
Composer
once confided that his
darling that he had in mind
when he wrote the song
was actually his mother
land, Korea under the
Japanese rule.
