님이여...?

Postby orbiter » January 4th, 2011 3:11 am

Happy 2011! I'm here to bother everyone with my questions again!

I'm looking at the lyrics of the song 애후 by 정재욱. I do not understand the phrase "님이여" in the third line of the following verse:

서러워 할 일은 아니죠
세상이 모든걸 삼켜도
님이여, 품 안에 그댈 새긴 채
이제 나 먼 길을 가야하지만..

pls enlighten! 미리 감사드립니다!

"Dh my beloved" 님 = honorific of person (e.g. 'beloved') 이여 = a form of calling out to (e.g. 'oh my')
