  "Three Times a Lady" is a 1978 single by the funk/soul band the Commodores, from their 1978 album Natural High. It was produced by James Anthony Carmichael and the Commodores and it was the most popular track of the album.

In an appearance on The Early Show on June 12, 2009, Richie said he was inspired to write the song because of a comment his father made about his mother. His father said to his mother "I love you. I want you. I need you. Forever" hence the three times a lady.  It became the Commodores's first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit, topping the chart for two weeks on August 12, 1978.  It was also the only Motown song to reach the Top 10 that year. The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the adult contemporary chart. It was one of only a few Motown singles to reach the top spot in the UK Singles Chart, staying there for 5 weeks. In the years since the Commodores had started in 1974 it has been one of their most emotional songs since "You Don't Know That I Know" from the album Caught in the Act in 1975.The original Commodores' version of the song was included as the final track on Lionel Richie's greatest hits complitation album Back To Front, released in 1992.  <Wikipedia>

Thanks for the times that you've given me
당신이 내게 준 시간들을 감사하며

The memories are all in my mind
그 모든 추억들이 내 마음 속에 새겨져 있습니다
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
이젠 덧없는 희망의 끝에 다다랐기에
There's something I must say out loud

큰소리로 해야만 할말이 있어요
You're once, twice, three times a lady
당신은 첫사랑, 두번째 사랑이자 세번째 여인이며
And I love you
난 당신을 진정 사랑한다고
you're once, twice, three times a lady
당신은 첫사랑, 두번째 사랑이자 세번째 여인이며
And I love you (and I love you)
난 당신을 사랑합니다. (그대를 사랑해요)
I love you
당신을 진정 사랑합니다
When we are together the moments I cherish
우리가 함께 했던 모든 순간들을
With every beat of my heart
내 심장의 숨결 하나 하나로 고히 간직합니다
To touch you, to hold you
당신을 어루만지고, 꼭 안아주고
To be with you, to be near you
당신과 함께 곁에 있어 주려 하기에
There's nothing to keep us apart
그 어느 것도 우리 둘을 갈라 놓을수는 없어요
You're once, twice, three times a lady
당신은 첫사랑, 두번째 사랑이자 세번째 여인이며
And I love you
난 당신을 진정 사랑합니다
You're once, twice, three times a lady
당신은 첫사랑, 두번째 사랑이자 세번째 여인이며
And I love you (and I love you)
난 당신을 사랑합니다.(그대를 사랑해요)
