Korean Songs with English Lyrics - "Our Home"

This song celebrates the warmth of everyday life with a loved one. Inspired by the Korean classic "아파트," the lyrics reflect comfort, routine, and the quiet joy of building a future together — all inside the walls of a small apartment.
A home is not defined by its size or location, but by the love shared within. "Our Home" brings that truth to life through gentle verses and familiar moments.

🎵 Our Home

English Lyrics - inspired by Yoon Soo-il's "아파트"

Heavy raindrops tapping on window
Through the wind in the reeds below
I used to walk the path alone
To the place that we called our home
------
I hear your voice when I call your name
Soft as moonlight, just the same
Your whispers echo in my mind
The only peace I’ve ever found
------
The nights just pass and drift away
The dreams we had all faded to gray
You slipped right through these hands of mine
But you still live in my mind
------
Tonight again, I lost my way
To where your shadow used to stay
No lights on, no voices near
Only silence is waiting here

== Instrumental ==

The nights just pass and drift away
The dreams we had all faded to gray
You slipped right through these hands of mine
But you still live in my mind
------
Tonight again, I lost my way
To where your shadow used to stay
No lights on, no voices near
Only silence is waiting here

✨ About the Original Song

"아파트" (Apartment) by 윤수일 is one of the most iconic Korean pop ballads of the early 1980s. Released in 1982, the song became popular during a time when apartment living symbolized a new, modern lifestyle for many Korean families.

As cities expanded rapidly and vertical housing replaced traditional homes, the apartment came to represent both the dreams and limitations of urban life. "아파트" captured these emotional contradictions — longing for stability, the desire to build something of your own, and the quiet strength of love that turns small spaces into meaningful ones.

The song’s simple yet heartfelt melody resonated with couples and families, making it a favorite at concerts, karaoke rooms, and nostalgic radio programs for decades.

✍️ About This ProjectAbout  

These English lyrics are not literal translations but creative reinterpretations of the original Korean song. Our goal is to make Korean music more accessible to global audiences while preserving the spirit, sentiment, and rhythm of the original.
"Apartment" becomes "Our Home" not because the words match exactly, but because the emotions do. This project is part of a broader effort to bridge languages through song and let English speakers experience the heart of Korean music in a singable and meaningful way.
