Bukan tak mungkin perjuangan para finalis Super Star K menjadi inspirasinya dalam menulis lagu ini termasuk perjuangannya 27 tahun lalu saat pertama kali merintis karir bermusik. Untuk MV lagu ini dirilis oleh CJ E&M pada 27.9.2012 lalu. MV-nya dibuat sederhana ada cuplikan-cuplikan saat ia menjadi juri di ajang bakat yang digelar oleh televisi swasta Korea, Mnet tersebut dan menampilkan Lee Seung Chul menyanyi di sebuah ruangan.
Seperti judulnya, di lagu Amateur... Rui seolah ingin 'curhat' bagaimana ia menjalani kehidupannya dalam bermusik selama 27 tahun lamanya. Bagaimana ia meraih impiannya menjadi seorang penyanyi amatir dan menjalani hari-hari yang berat hingga kini berhasil dan diakui.
Lewat lirik-lirik lagunya pula ia mengajak semua orang yang bermimpi sama untuk tidak menyerah, karena setiap orang pernah melakukan hal pertama dalam hidup dan pernah melakukan kesalahan. Sehingga meskipun gagal dan belum berhasil meraih impian.... menikmati dan menjalani semuanya dengan gembira membuat kita dapat melalui hal yang terberat sekalipun.
Mantan vokalis Boohwal ini memang tidak mengecewakan, kemampuan vokal yang matang dan kekuatan lirik selalu membuat lagu-lagu yang dinyanyikannya menjadi hits dan meninggalkan kesan mendalam. Gak terkecuali di lagu ini. Rui daebak ^^
"We are all amateurs... and thus, we should always try our best to make our lives better" ~ Lee Seung Chul (이승철)

살며 살아 가는 행복
Salmyo sara ganeun haengbok
The happiness of being alive and living
눈을 뜨는 것도 숨이 벅찬것도
The happiness of being alive and living
눈을 뜨는 것도 숨이 벅찬것도
Nuneul tteuneun geotdo sumi beokchangeotdo
Opening my eyes, getting out of breath
Opening my eyes, getting out of breath
고된 하루가 있다는 행복을
Godeon haruga itdaneun haengbogeul
The happiness of having a hard day
The happiness of having a hard day
나는 왜 몰랐을까
Naneun wae mollasseulkka
Why didn’t I know this?
나나 나나 나나 난나나나
Nana.... nana.... Nana na nana nana na....
아직 모르는게 많아
Ajik moreuneunge manha
There’s still so much that I don’t know
내세울 것 없는 실수투성이
Naeseul geot eomneun silsutuseongi
I’m filled with mistakes and I have nothing to show
아직 넘어야 할 산도 많지만
Ajik neomeoya hal sando manchiman
There are still many barriers to overcome
그냥 즐기는거야
Geunyang jeulgineungeoya
But just enjoy it
Wooo.... uwoooo....
아무도 가르쳐 주지 않기에
Amudo gareuchyeo juji ankie
Because no one teaches you how
모두가 처음 서 보기 때문에
Moduga cheoeum seo bogi ttaemune
Because everyone is standing for the first time
우리는 세상이란 무대에선
Urineun sesangiran mudaeeseon
On this stage called the world
모두다 같은 아마추어야
Moduda gateun amachueoya
Everyone is the same, an amateur
나나 나나 나나 나나 나나나
Nana.... nana.... Nana na nana nana na....
지쳐 걸어갈 수 있고
Jichyeo georeogal su itgo
You can be tired and walking
아이 눈을 보며 웃을 수 있고
Ai nuneul bomyeo useul su itgo
You can look into a child’s eyes and smile
조금 뒤쳐져도 상관없잖아
Jogeum dwichyeojyeodo sanggwaneobtjanha
Even if it’s a little late, it doesn’t matter
그냥 즐기는거야
Geunyang Jeulgineungeoya
Just enjoy it
Wooo.... uwoooo....

길을 찾아 내 꿈을 찾아서

I will find the way, I will find my dream
나의 길을 가면 언젠가

When I walk on my path someday
꿈이 나를 기다리겠지

My dream will be waiting for me
