Chorus: Sandhee thee thee ra nana
Sandhee thee thee ra nana
In the early winter flower,
I see your flower-like face.
In the spray of golden sunlight,
I see your warm complexion.
Oh, the rivers overflow,
the clouds blush red,
is it really you coming?
Tell me, sweet cuckoo bird!
In the early winter flower,
I see your flower-like face.
In the spray of golden sunlight,
I see your warm complexion.

Chum chum chum chum

Ah... on the tip
of fresh green grass,
spreading like morning dew,
it is only your name.
Chorus: Chum chum chum chum
Oh, on the wings of
a yearning little bird,
what feels like a soft feather
is only your eyelash.
Chorus: Chum chum chum chum
Oh... gently caressing and
stealing my heart away,
in the waves of the spring breeze,
are only your fingers.
Floating softly and
blending into the heart,
the note in sweet music
is only your voice.
Day and night, it is only you...
In the early winter flower,
I see your flower-like face.
In the spray of golden sunlight,
I see your warm complexion.
Dhum thaare dhum thaare

Ah... like an open
round jewel box in the sky,
across the wandering moon,
it is your face.
In the wick of the lamp
lit inside the house,
glowing brightly like a flame
is only your shadow.
Oh... inside my
little room,
the companion that stays
each day is your form.
In everything around me,
I saw your form,
when will my eyes
see you in person?
My handsome love, you tell me...
In the early winter flower,
I see your flower-like face.
In the spray of golden sunlight,
I see your warm complexion.
Oh, the rivers overflow,
the clouds blush red,
is it really you coming?
Tell me, sweet cuckoo bird!
In the early winter flower,
I see your flower-like face.
In the spray of golden sunlight,
I see your warm complexion.
Your warm complexion...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This poetic romantic song expresses the deep longing and omnipresent vision of love felt by the protagonist. She sees her beloved's presence reflected in every aspect of nature and daily life: his name is like morning dew on grass, his eyelashes like feathers on a bird's wing, his gentle touch like a spring breeze, and his voice like a sweet musical note. Whether looking at the glowing moon in the night sky or the steady flame of a lamp in her room, every element around her evokes his image and shadow. Filled with tender passion during the early winter chill, she wonders when she will finally get to meet him in person, calling upon nature and the cuckoo to confirm his arrival.
