ELO - Midnight Blue

 

새벽 1시, 오만 소하르에서 두바이로 오는 택시 안..
밖은 어둡고 조용하며,  이 곳은 기사 아저씨와 나밖에는 없는 듯 하다.
나는 이 먼 곳까지 왜 와 있는가.. 
방금 전 과장님이 해주신 이야기에 지나온 직장생활이 영화필름처럼 한꺼번에 스쳐갔다.
제길..눈물이 났다...
내 이어폰에서는 Midnight Blue가 흘러나오고 있다.

I see the lonely road that leads so far away
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
and I see you in midnight blue

저 먼 곳에 이르는 고독한 길이 보여요
하루를 뒤로하고 떠나 버린 희미한 불빛이 보여요
하지만 제가 본 것을 말로는 다 표현할 수 없어요
외로운 밤을 지새우는 당신이 보여요

I see you crying now you've found a lot of pain
and what you searching for can never be the same
but what's the difference 'cause they say what's in a name
and I see you in midnight blue

이제 수많은 고통을 알게 되어 울고 있는 당신이 보여요
당신이 찾아 헤매던 것은 예전과 같을 수가 없어요
그저 이름뿐인데 무슨 소용이냐고 사람들이 말한들
무슨 차이가 있겠어요
외로운 밤을 지새우는 당신이 보여요

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

오늘 밤 당신을 사랑하겠어요
당신을 사랑하며 곁에 머무르겠어요
나도 이 밤이 외로우니까요

 

I see you standing there far out along the way
I want to touch you but the night becomes the day
I count the words that I am never going to say
and I see you in midnight blue

저 멀리 떨어진 길에 서 있는 당신이 보여요
당신에게 손길이 닿고 싶지만 밤은 낮으로 바뀌고
난 내가 차마 하지 못할 말을 되뇌고 있어요
외로운 밤을 지새우는 당신이 보여요

 

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

오늘 밤 당신을 사랑하겠어요
당신을 사랑하며 곁에 머무르겠어요
나도 이 밤이 외로우니까요

 

Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you
Can't you see how it's meant to be
Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you
Can't you believe like I believe
It's only one and one it's true
still I see you in midnight blue

당신은 제가 드리려는 사랑을 느낄 수 없나요?
우리 사랑은 이미 정해졌다는 걸 모르나요?
제가 당신에게 하려고 했던 말이 들리나요?
내가 믿는 것처럼 당신도 믿을 수 없나요?
오직 한 가지이에요, 정말이에요
아직도 밤을 외로워하는 당신이 보여요

 

I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways
of loving you everything's midnight blue

행복한 나날들이 눈에 보여요
어떻게 당신을 아름답게 사랑할지 느껴요
이 밤엔 모든 게 외로워 보이네요

 

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

오늘 밤 당신을 사랑하겠어요
당신을 사랑하며 곁에 머무르겠어요
나도 이 밤이 외로우니까요

 

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

오늘 밤 당신을 사랑하겠어요
당신을 사랑하며 곁에 머무르겠어요
나도 이 밤이 외로우니까요

    

I will love you tonight
and I will stay by your side
loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

오늘 밤 당신을 사랑하겠어요
당신을 사랑하며 곁에 머무르겠어요
나도 이 밤이 외로우니까요

Electric Light Orchestra, commonly abbreviated ELO, were a symphonic rock group from Birmingham, England, who released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO were formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern pop songs with heavily classical overtones, but falling under a light rock category. However, the band's direction for most of their existence was set by Lynne who, after the band's debut record, wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album.

The band was first successful in the United States, billed as 'The English guys with the big fiddles'.^[1] They soon gained a cult following despite lukewarm reviews back in their native United Kingdom. They were managed by agent Don Arden, father of Sharon Osbourne.

By the mid-1970s, they had become one of the biggest selling bands in music. From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated twenty-six U.K. Top 40 hit singles and twenty U.S. Top 40 hit singles. The group also scored twenty Top 20 U.K. hit singles, as well as fifteen Top 20 appearances in the U.S. Billboard charts. The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Top 40 hits of any band in U.S. chart history without ever having a #1 single.^[2]

Despite the fact that the majority of the group's material was never researched, audited and certified, ELO collected 21 RIAA awards, 38 BPI awards,^[3][4] and sold over 100 million albums worldwide, 50 million of those being sold between 1971 and 1982.^[5]
