Blowing and blowing into this wretched stove,
my sides and body are aching all over.
Blowing and blowing into this wretched stove,
my sides and body are aching all over.
When I try to light green, wet firewood,
it simply refuses to catch fire.
For someone like me who lived in a seven-storey palace,
such hard times have fallen upon me.
What should I dwell on, what should I weep for?
My fate has turned out like this.
Without any pots or pans,
can a woman even cook a meal?
Without any pots or pans,
can a woman even cook a meal?
With all his clever, endless talk,
this man is driving me to my wit's end!
What terrible hour is this, what planetary curse?
Has that troublesome Saturn caught hold of me?
What strange mystery is this, I do not know,
oh God, what mystery is this?
Has that troublesome Saturn caught hold of me?
What mystery is this, oh God?
Has that troublesome Saturn caught hold of me?
What mystery is this, oh God?
This pot broke into two,
and all the water in it spilled away.
Going to the shop to buy provisions,
and making simple gruel has been forgotten too.
By the cruel turn of time, my king is separated from me,
and all alone, this young heart is deeply troubled.
The wrong done by that scoundrel,
has come and seized us by our feet.
While my mind had remained at peace,
did fate toss me into a whirl?
It neither spins me around nor lets me go free,
where is the water to cook rice?
Male: Oh no, just listen to what I say, woman!
When I lifted the water pot,
the handles snapped in two, girl!
Oh, is this fair? Tell me, was it made of paper?
Is this how a man acts? Can anyone bear this?
Male: Yes, my speech is grand like a king's,
could you ever speak like that?
It won't be, it won't be, I just cannot go on!
Male: What was that?
Female: Oh dear, having taken a step, I cannot take another,
there is not even a mat to lie down here.
How can I walk when my hips are cramping up?
Now and then, my breath gasps in distress,
I just cannot go on!
Didn't I tell you right when we set out?
Do you understand the hardship well now?
Didn't I tell you right when we set out?
Do you understand the hardship well now?
Like precious gold, inside the house,
when I told you to stay, did you listen?
Do you realize it now?
Oh dear, what a thing for you to say!
Talking just like a wealthy lord,
how much farther do we have to walk?
Does the king's dwelling place keep getting farther away?
What strange mystery is this, who knows?
Does my heart listen to any reason?
What mystery is this, what planetary curse?
Has that troublesome Saturn caught hold of us?
What mystery is this, oh God, what mystery is this?
I cannot tell what mystery this is...
