생각하면서 궁금했어요
빛나는 햇빛
아니면 깊은 바다를 줄까요 ?
그대 깊은 눈빛
빛나는 햇빛보다 밝아요
그대 찬란한 미소..그게 별빛
생각하다가 깨달았다..
그대 생각은 장미 향기 난다
그래서 그대에게
장미의 향기를 선물하기로 했다
Meaningful English Translation:
What shall I give you as a gift?
I wondered (or asked myself)
While thinking about it.
Shall I gift you the shining sunrays
Or the deep ocean?
Your eyes are deeper
Than the deepest oceans
Your splendid smile
Is brighter than the shining rays
it's (your smile) the starlight.
While thinking, I realized that..
Your thoughts (while I think of you)
Has the smell of roses
So, I decided to give you
The scent of rose as a gift.

A little back story:
Gifts convey a lot without uttering a single word. For me, a gift indicates a representation of a memory that is invoked. Something reminds you of someone. That is the reason we forward pictures or videos or a link. It tells the receiver that this is what reminds me of you. It may be a book or some personalized gift that you invested your time and effort to prepare just for the receiver. But it is not as easy as it may seem...well sometimes. The sender wants to give something that represents the receiver in some way and also has the essence of the feelings and emotions embedded into it. How does one decide?
