    1st Verse


    In the winter garden,
    the chrysanthemum has withered

    white early frost drifts down
    when (I) open the window

    The blue-winged wild goose
    flies toward the north

    Ah, now stand at the quiet,
    empty fields

    On the snowy road hometown
    the flower lantern will glow

    On the snowy road hometown
    the flower lantern will glow

    2nd Verse

    Moon and sun are gone,
    stars are far away

    In the deep mountain valley, 
    at a thatched-roof village

    When spring comes, every branch 
    and blooming flower will be joyful

    Ah, now with hands together,
    close (your) eyes

    On the wattle fence of hometown
    large snowflakes are piling up

    On the wattle fence of hometown
    large snowflakes are piling up

    1st Verse


    Water bird dances
    in the blue sky

    Eya-deya, row quickly
    let’s go find my beloved

    Set the boat afloat,
    gently carrying youth

    Here by the Hwangpo River,
    red with sunset

    Eya-deya, row quickly
    let’s go find my beloved

    Faraway, endless blue sea,
    Where is my beloved?

    2nd Verse

    Bright moonlight dances
    upon the water

    Eya-deya, row quickly
    let’s go hometown

    with a fair wind and the raised sail,
    cutting through the waves

    When I look afar,
    even the sky feels distant

    Eya-deya, row quickly
    let’s go hometown

    Where are the mountains
    and rivers of the hometown?
