This is the Moment (지금 이 순간)

This is the Moment" is my favorite song from the musical Jekyll and Hyde. The song was interpreted by a lot of singers such as Anthony Warlow, Rob Evan, Jack Wagner, and even David Hasselhoff. The musical also had a korean staging starting in 2004 with Jo Seung-woo and Ryu Jung-han in the lead.

If you have the time to watch the korean version of the song on youtube, aside from Jo Seung-woo and Ryu Jung-han, you might also want to check the version of Im Tae-kyung.

Here's the lyrics (english and korean) of the song just in case you would like to practice your vocal prowess. For those who would like to practice reading in korean, you might want to try singing with it.

This is the moment, this is the day.

when i send all my doubts and demons on their way.

Every endeavour I have made ever, is coming into play, is here and now today.

This is the moment, this is the time.

When the momentum and the moment are in rhyme.

Give me this moment, this precious chance. I’ll gather up my past & make some sense at last.

This is the moment when all I’ve done.

All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming become one!

This is the day, See it sparkle and shine, when all I’ve lived for becomes mine.

For all these years, I've faced the world alone,

And now the time has come to prove to them I've made it on my own.

This is the moment. My final test.

Destiny beckoned, I never reckoned, Second Best.

I won't look down, I must not fall. This is the moment, The sweetest moment of them all

This is the moment. Damn all the odds. This day, or never, I'll sit forever with the gods.

When I look back, I will always recall, Moment for moment, This was the moment,

The greatest moment of them all

지금 이 순간 지금 여기 간절히 바라고 원했던 이 순간
나만의 꿈이 나만의 소원 이뤄질지 몰라 여기 바로 오늘
지금 이 순간 지금 여기 말로는 뭐라 할 수 없는 이 순간
참아온 나날 힘겹던 날 다 사라져간다 연기처럼 멀리
지금 이 순간 마법처럼 날 묶어왔던 사슬을 벗어 던진다
지금 내겐 확신만 있을뿐 남은 건 이젠 승리뿐
그 많았던 비난과 고난을 떨치고 일어서 세상으로 부딪쳐 맞설 뿐
지금 이 순간 내 모든 걸 내 육신마저 내 영혼마저 다 걸고
던지리라 바치리라 애타게 찾던 절실한 소원을 위해
지금 이 순간 나만의 길 당신이 나를 버리고 저주하여도
내 마음속 깊이 간직한 꿈 간절한 기도 절실한 기도
신이여 허락하소서

This would be a nice piece to try at your favorite noraebang. Happy singing!!!
