This heart is a flower garden,
a heart that knows what is good,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
From that day until now,
a heart that understands the truth,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
If you only understand this, my son,
that alone is enough for me in this world.
If I have committed any wrongs,
the days ahead will demand to know why.
Even if I explain this to you, my child,
you have not yet reached the age to understand it,
oh my son!
This heart is a flower garden,
a heart that knows what is good,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
From that day until now,
a heart that understands the truth,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
Even the sky and the earth,
oh dear, have grown burning hot!
The chilly monsoon wind
has turned into the scorching summer heat.
If I wipe away my tears,
the handwriting on paper may be erased,
but even if you pour water over it,
can the writing of fate ever be erased?
Even for the mother who gave birth to me,
it brings only shame to speak my name.
What can be done? It is the grief
of a child who went down the wrong path.
Yet, this man's heart
will always remain on that mother's side.
Going against the words my mother spoke,
I am one who has never acted.
What can I say? Through the cruelty of time,
I am seen as a bad man today.
Ah, one day you too
will understand the hardships I go through, my boy.
This heart is a flower garden,
a heart that knows what is good,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
From that day until now,
a heart that understands the truth,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
Even if riches, a home, and a lavish life
come to me, what does it matter?
My feet will always walk
in the path of fairness and justice.
All that truly remains for me here
is a set of principles and beliefs.
She walked beside me just like a shadow—
my dear, she is none other than your mother.
Precious child, our courage
is something you will grow up to celebrate.
Come joy or sorrow, let whatever happens happen,
we will always remain united as one.
This heart is a flower garden,
a heart that knows what is good,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
From that day until now,
a heart that understands the truth,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
If you only understand this, my son,
that alone is enough for me in this world.
If I have committed any wrongs,
the days ahead will demand to know why.
Even if I explain this to you, my child,
you have not yet reached the age to understand it,
oh my son!
This heart is a flower garden,
a heart that knows what is good,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
From that day until now,
a heart that understands the truth,
oh singing cuckoo bird!
