[가사/해석]

I threw a wish in the well 

난 소망을 빌며 동전을 우물속에 던졌지

Don't ask me, I'll never tell

묻지마, 말 안할거니깐 

I looked to you as it fell

 동전이 떨어졌을 때 널 쳐다봤어

And now you're in my way 

그리고 넌 내 삶에 들어왔어

I trade my soul for a wish

내 영혼을 바꿔서라도 소망을 이루고 싶어 

Pennies and dimes for a kiss 

키스를 위해 페니와 다임을

I wasn't looking for this

난 그걸 찾지도 않았는데

But now you're in my way

넌 내 삶에 들어왔어 

Your stare was holdin' 

너가 계속 응시하고 있었잖아

Ripped jeans, skin was showin'

찢어진 청바지, 속살이 보였고 

Hot night, wind was blowin' 

뜨거운 밤, 바람이 불고 있었어

Where you think you're going, baby? 

넌 어딜 가고 있는 거니?

이봐, 난 널 이제 봤는데, 미칠지경이야

But here's my number so call me maybe

하지만 여기 내 번호 있으니 언제 전화해 

It's hard to look right at you baby, 

널 바로 쳐다보기도 힘들어

You took your time with the call

너가 이렇게 오기까지 시간이 걸렸겠지

I took no time with the fall

난 이렇게 되는데 시간이 안걸렸어 

You gave me nothing at all, 

넌 나에게 어떤것도 주지 않았어

but still you're in my way 

하지만 여전히 넌 내 삶에 들어왔어

I beg and borrow and steal 

난 어떻게 해서든 가지거든

Have foresight and it's real 

미리 점쳐보고, 그건 정말이지

I didn't know I would feel it, 

난 몰랐어 내가 그걸 느끼게 될 줄은

but it's in my way 

하지만 내 앞에 있어

Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans,

넌 계속 쳐다보고 있었지, 찢어진 청바지 

Skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' 

속살이 보였고, 뜨거운 밤, 바람이 불고 있었지

Where you think you're going, baby? 

어딜 가고 있는 거니?

캐나다 출신의 여가수 칼리 래 잽슨(Carley Rae Jepsen, 이하 젭슨)은  2012년 빌보드 싱글 차트에서 가장 오랫동안 1위를 차지한 곡인 "Call Me Maybe"를 통해 전 세계적인 스타가 되었습니다. 젭슨은 즐겁게 들을 수 있는 전자댄스음악을 바탕으로 팝, 록, 디스코 등 다양한 장르의 음악을 잘 조합하고 있으며, 밝고 달콤한 목소리와 더불어 수려한 멜로디 라인을 통해 많은 대중들과 쉽게 친해질 수 있다는 점이 그녀 음악의 가장 큰 강점입니다.

"Call Me Maybe"를 통해 갑자기 반짝 스타가 된 가수처럼 인식되고 있지만, 사실 젭슨은 캐나다에서 이미 상당한 인지도를 확보한 뮤지션 중 한 사람이었습니다. 1985년 캐나다의 브리티시 콜롬비아(British Columbia)주 미션(Mission)이라는 도시에서 태어난 젭슨은 대학에서 예술전공학부를 다니면서 작곡과 연주, 레코딩 등을 공부하였습니다. 대학 재학 중이던 2007년 그녀는 캐나다의 가수 오디션 프로그램인 'Canadian Idol'에 참여하게 되었는데, 비록 우승은 못했지만 Top 3에 입상하며 대중들에게 자신들의 이름을 알리게 되었습니다.

이를 통해 본격적으로 프로 뮤지션으로서의 경력을 시작한 젭슨은 2008년 데뷔 앨범 [Tug of War]를 발매한다. 이 앨범은 메이저 레이블이 아닌 캐나다의 소규모 독립 레이블을 통해 발매되었는데, 존 덴버(John Denver)의 히트곡이자 국내에서도 유명한 컨트리팝의 명곡을 리메이크한 "Sunshine on My Shoulder"를 비롯하여 "Tug of War", "Bucket" 등이 캐나다에서 인기를 얻었습니다. 그녀의 재능에 주목한 조금 큰 규모의 캐나다 레이블인 604 레코드에서 그녀에게 계약을 제안하고, 그녀는 이곳으로 소속사를 옮겨 두 번째 앨범을 준비하게 됩니다.

2011년 후반 캐나다에서 발매된 두 번째 앨범의 첫 싱글 "Call Me Maybe"는 캐나다 내에서 상당한 인기를 얻었는데, 2012년 연초에 여행 차 캐나다에 방문한 미국의 아이돌 스타 저스틴 비버(Justin Bieber)가 우연히 라디오에서 이 노래를 듣고 자신의 트위터에 이 노래를 소개하면서그녀는 갑자기 미국에서도 유명세를 타기 시작합니다. 이에 저스틴 비버의 매니저이자 레코드사 사장인 스쿠터 브라운(Scooter Braun)이 그녀에게 계약을 제안하고, 덕분에 그녀는 세계 시장으로 진출할 수 있는 발판을 마련하게 되었습니다.

젭슨은 2집 발매에 앞서 "Call Me Maybe"를 수록한 EP [Curiousity](2012)를 먼저 발매하여 시장의 반응을 살폈는데, 이 노래가 캐나다 싱글 차트 1위에 오름은 물론 나아가 미국과 영국 차트에서도 동시에 1위를 차지하는 기염을 토하게 됩니다. 또한 그녀가 미국의 전자음악 뮤지션아울 시티(Owl City)와 함께 부른 싱글 "Good Time" 역시 캐나다 차트 1위, 미국 차트 8위를 기록하며 그녀는 단숨에 스타덤에 올랐습니다 (이 노래는 젭슨과 아울 시티의 앨범에 모두 실려있다). 그녀의 정규 2집 앨범이자 세계 시장에는 처음 공개된 작품 [Kiss](2012)는 2012년 9월 발매되었으며, 싱글들의 성공에 힘입어 빌보드 앨범 차트 5위를 기록하며 히트했습니다. 덕분에그녀는 싸이(Psy)등과 함께 2012년 마지막 날 미국 뉴욕의 타임 스퀘어에서 열리는 연말 기념공연에서 무대를 갖기도 했습니다.

이상으로 Carly Rae Jepsen 의 Call Me Maybe 팝송 포스팅을 마치도록 하겠습니다.
