An innocent man had to see a sin
Was heaven's meaning.
Because there was no place to hide his mind,
He who had to confine himself to a solitary island
Lamented as following.
What should I do.
What should I do.
Even though I know your destiny,
Not being able to tell,
What should I do.
If I try to live with my eyes close,
I fear heaven's meaning
If I try to live with my eyes open,
I fear the things of the world,
What should I do.
What should I do.
Having no place to hide shame and rage,
What should I do
with my anxious mind.
Having clouded up in the sky,
Is it raining or blowing tomorrow.
The world's mind is dark,
So I do not know a single day's work.
Oh! solitary time.
A man's mind has no place to go,
Hiding himself in the small island
That the blue waves enclose,
Seeing the sky,
A day comes and just goes.
Let us cry with loving mind.
Let us cry with lonely mind.
Let us cry facing the silence to have justice fall asleep.
Let us cry like rain
Let us cry like rivers.
Let us cry looking at the sky
Let us cry looking at the ground.
Seeing the humanity of this land
Like a dark sea
Like a devil's hell,
Let us cry together.
I am a freeman.
My body is like the lord of the castle
My mind is like a sinner's.
I hung the ambition in my heart
At the main entrance.
At the isolated place in a small island,
Even a friend is not visiting,
An ivy is keeping and watching me.
When I see the shape
Cooking and washing,
Somebody is washing pebbles outdoors.
When night comes
With no sounds of waves and wind,
I sat up all night
Thinking of a lover.
When the burning fire
In my heart rises,
I try to ask the waterway,
Then the star is smiling.
Flowers are blooming
Leaves are sprouting,
So has spring come.
Trees and plants!
Has spring come just to you.
I had a dream
In my childhood,
It was what I waited for
When day was dawning by the window.
Flowers are blooming
Leaves are sprouting,
So has spring come.
Trees and plants!
Has spring come just to you.
