    Birds, birds are flying in
    All kinds of birds are flying in

    Roc in Namyeong
    Phoenix on the paulownia leaf

    Wild goose in lovesickness
    Scops owl in search of home

    Mandarin duck with its mate
    Seagull setting sail

    Eruhua! wonderful
    Spring has come

    Aruhua! wonderful
    Spring has come

    Ya! News has come
    across the streams and mountains of this land

    Also fluttering across the mountains and streams
    Even fluttering across the blue waves

    Birds, birds are singing
    Which bird is singing?

    Owl cries “boo-woong, boo-woong”
    The woodpecker pecks “tak-tak-reu-reu”

    Cuckoo sings “bbo-guk, bbo-guk”
    Oriole chirps “kkwe-kol kkwe-kol”

    1st Verse

    In the moonlight from afar,
    is my beloved coming

    The wind blowing in the reed beds
    are these your footsteps?

    Might the sound of flowing water
    be my beloved’s song?

    My lonely heart wandering endlessly

    As dawn draws near, only the wind rises

    2nd Verse

    Passing the field
    where lilies are dreaming

    In the moonlight from afar,
    is my beloved coming?

    The sound of a grass-dyed skirt
    dragging as it comes

    Parting the flower’s scent,
    is my beloved coming?

    My heart trembles and wanders endlessly

    As dawn draws near, the wind fills the air

    The wind fills the air

  • IPA- 고풍의상 (Traditional Attire)

    As if flying toward the sky

    Stretched long at the eaves rafter’s tip,
    the wind chime cries

    At the eaves’ edge, in the beaded curtain,
    the half-moon hides

    The spring night,
    faintly deepening like a cuckoo’s cry

    How lovely, how graceful, truly how beautiful

    The fine jeogori’s white collar shines brightly

    The twelve-panel long skirt ripples gently

    You are a butterfly,
    telling the classics of some distant land

    Dance softly, as if a butterfly

    Lowering my brows……

    On this night, I live in the days of old

    Closing my eyes, I shall choose the geomungo’s strings

    Like a slender willow, matching the melody

    I shall wave my white hands











    1. 고풍의상: 풍’s ŋ coda meets 의 (null onset, vowel-initial), but ŋ never resyllabifies (the one true exception among codas), so it stays put and 의 starts fresh as a null-onset ㅢ, taking the superscript ʉ+i treatment.

    2. Resyllabification: 날 (coda ㄹ) + 을 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 을.

    3. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant: 듯’s coda ㅅ moves onto 이 as-is, and since it now sits before ㅣ, it palatalizes to [ʃ].

    4. Resyllabification: 뽑 (coda ㅂ) + 은 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅂ shifts to become the onset of 은.

    5. ㅇ(ŋ) resyllabification exception: 경+이 (vowel-initial, same word), yet ŋ stays in place rather than moving onto 이.

    6. Tensification (rule 23): 곱’s coda ㅂ is an obstruent stop, so it tensifies the following plain ㄱ to [k͈] regardless of whether this is a stem+ending context.

    7. Two resyllabifications in a row: 반’s ㄴ shifts onto 월 (itself a null-onset w-glide syllable) as its onset, and then 월’s own coda ㄹ shifts again onto 이.

    8. Compound tensification (rule 28): 봄+밤 is a modifying compound (resonant coda + plain onset), so 밤’s ㅂ tensifies to [p͈]. Established example word.

    9. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant: 깊’s coda ㅍ moves onto 어 as a full aspirated onset, not the neutralized coda form.

    10. Resyllabification: 곱 (coda ㅂ) + 아라 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅂ shifts to become the onset of 아.

    11. 밝도: before a consonant, the cluster ㄺ simplifies to ㄱ (rather than the verb-stem-specific ㄹ-keeping pattern), and that ㄱ then tensifies the following plain ㄷ (rule 23) to [t͈].

    12. Compound tensification (rule 28): 물+결 is a modifying compound (resonant coda + plain onset), so 결’s ㄱ tensifies to [k͈]. Established example word. 결’s own coda ㄹ then resyllabifies onto 을.

    13. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 는 (coda ㄴ) is followed by a space, then 어느 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it, so ㄴ stays in coda.

    14. Null-onset ㅢ: superscript ʉ + i. (This superscript was missing in an earlier pass of this file; corrected here.)

    15. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 는 (coda ㄴ) is followed by a space, then 이 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it.

    16. Nasalization: 옛’s coda ㅅ (representative [t]) meets 날’s onset ㄴ and nasalizes to [n], the same pattern as 뗏목 or 왔네. 날’s own coda ㄹ then resyllabifies onto 에.

    17. Tensification (rule 24, stem+ending): 감다’s stem-final ㅁ + ending-initial ㄱ (고) tensifies to [k͈], the same mechanism as 안고서.

    18. Glide priority: 춰 = [tʃʷʌ], not [tsʷʌ]. A glide always wins the dʒ/tʃ choice, even though 추 alone would fall in the [ts] exception group.

    19. Standard Korean Pronunciation Rule 5: 흰 has a consonant onset (ㅎ) before ㅢ, so the vowel simplifies to plain [i].

    1st Verse

    When will the thin ice
    on the river in front melt?


    The boat, loaded with cargo,
    has come that far through the dawn fog


    Embracing an armful of light pink flowers


    The hazy light across the water,
    the hazy light coming down
    over the riverside village

    When will the thin ice
    on the river in front melt?

    The boat, loaded with cargo,
    has come that far through the dawn fog

    2nd Verse

    Once again today,
    shall drift like a raft on the river

    Birdsong and breeze,
    fluttering as water flows

    Releasing my spring
    in the dark valley of my heart

    Radiant silent longing, Silent longing
    flows silently

    Once again today,
    shall drift like a raft on the river

    Birdsong and breeze, fluttering as water flows

    Fluttering as water flows

    1. Resyllabification: 봄 (coda ㅁ) + 이 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㅁ shifts to become the onset of 이.
    2. Despite the space, 앞 강 fuses tightly in performance, the same kind of exception as 못 잊어 later in this project: 앞’s stop coda (ㅍ, kept as its own [p] rather than merged into the ㅂ series) meets 강’s plain ㄱ onset as if there were no break, so it tensifies (rule 23) to [k͈] rather than staying plain. This is a specific, confirmed case, not a general rule that every space automatically tensifies across.
    3. ㅇ(ŋ) resyllabification exception: 강+에 (vowel-initial, same phrase), yet ŋ does not resyllabify. Unlike every other coda, ŋ always stays in place; this is the one true exception in the system.
    4. Three-step chain resyllabification: 살→얼 (ㄹ moves), 얼→음 (ㄹ moves again), 음→은 (ㅁ moves). Only 은’s own ㄴ is left in coda, because a space (언제나) follows.
    5. Not lateralization: 풀 (coda ㄹ) + 릴 (onset ㄹ) are two lexical ㄹ’s that happen to sit next to each other, not a ㄴ assimilating to ㄹ, which is what lateralization (유음화) actually refers to.
    6. ㅅ→ʃ palatalization (before ㅣ) plus resyllabification: 실’s coda ㄹ shifts onto 은.
    7. Resyllabification: 벽 (coda ㄱ) + 안 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄱ shifts to become the onset of 안.
    8. Two separate rules stacked: 쳐 = [tʃʲʌ], not [tsʲʌ], since a glide always wins the dʒ/tʃ choice regardless of base vowel. 왔+네: ㅆ coda (representative [t]) before ㄴ onset nasalizes to [n].
    9. Tensification (rule 23): 꽃’s coda (representative [t]) meets plain onset ㄷ → tensifies to [t͈].
    10. No resyllabification across the word boundary: 아름 (coda ㅁ) is followed by a space, then 안고서 (vowel-initial), but the space blocks it, so ㅁ stays in coda.
    11. Tensification (rule 24, stem+ending): 안다’s stem-final ㄴ + ending-initial ㄱ → tensifies to [k͈]. Different mechanism from note 9 (rule 23): this one is specifically stem+ending, which is also why it tensifies rather than simply voicing.
    12. No aspiration merger: 련’s coda ㄴ meets onset ㅎ, but ㄴ is not one of the obstruents (ㄱ/ㄷ/ㅂ/ㅈ) that merge with a following ㅎ, so nothing happens here.
    13. Resyllabification keeps the original consonant, not the coda-neutralized one: 빛’s ㅊ moves onto 을 as-is. 을’s own base vowel is ㅡ, which is in the 츠 exception group, so this comes out [ts] rather than [tʃ].
    14. Resyllabification: 을 (coda ㄹ) + 에 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 에.
    15. No tensification: 늘’s coda is ㄹ, a liquid/sonorant, not one of the obstruent codas that rule 23 requires, so 도 stays plain. (It also isn’t voiced, since 도 is not this specific verb-stem-plus-ending shape that would call for it either way here; the plain [d] already shown is simply the coda-liquid-plus-plain-stop default.)
    16. Nasalization plus a non-event: 뗏 (ㅆ coda, representative [t]) + 목 (ㅁ onset) nasalizes to [n]. Separately, 목 (ㄱ coda) + 처 (ㅊ onset) does not change further, because 처 is already aspirated, not a plain onset.
    17. Resyllabification: 골 (coda ㄹ) + 에 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 에.
    18. ㅢ with no consonant before it: superscript ʉ + i.
    19. Resyllabification: 풀 (coda ㄹ) + 어 (vowel-initial, same word) → ㄹ shifts to become the onset of 어.
    20. ㅎ-deletion, not aspiration: 놓 (coda ㅎ) + 아 (vowel-initial) → ㅎ simply disappears, with no trace left behind (contrast with note 8’s nasalization or note 9’s tensification, where the coda’s effect persists).
    21. Full rule chain in one word: 말’s coda ㄹ resyllabifies onto 없; 없’s own coda (from ㅄ) stays in place as [b]; the cluster’s second consonant ㅅ moves onto 이, tensifying to [s͈], and because it now sits before ㅣ, it palatalizes one step further to [ʃ͈].
