Nothing born through the womb...
is permanent...
Until we end up on the funeral wood...
there is no freedom...
There is no freedom here,
nothing is permanent.
A mother is here for a short time,
a father is here for a short time.
The hometown is here for a short time,
the relations who joined us are here for a short time.
A mother is here for a short time,
a father is here for a short time.
The hometown is here for a short time,
the relations who joined us are here for a short time.
If you reflect and think about it,
even you are here for a short time,
your memory is here for a short time.
Kings who made history
lasted just a little while.
Even that moon and sun
are here for just a little longer,
just a little longer.
A mother is here for a short time,
a father is here for a short time.
The hometown is here for a short time,
the relations who joined us are here for a short time.
Toot-too toot-too too-too
Too-too too-too
Toot-too toot-too too-too too-too too-too
High upon an unreachable mountain,
God resides.
And to reach Him, a man's
heart yearns and beats.
Toot-too toot-too too-too
Too-too too
Relatives come running
and pull at your legs.
Ah, greed for wealth and property
presses down your hands...
And desire grips you by the neck
until the very end...
And desire grips you by the neck
until the very end.
In all of this, the path to reach God—
where is it?
Where is it...?
Until we end up on the funeral wood,
there is no freedom.
Nothing born through the womb
is permanent.
A mother is here for a short time,
a father is here for a short time.
The hometown is here for a short time,
the relations who joined us are here for a short time.
Toot-too toot-too too-too
Too-too too-too
Toot-too toot-too too-too too-too too-too
Past the age of thirty,
your hair begins to fall.
Ah, past the age of forty,
your eyesight starts to waver.
Toot-too toot-too
Past fifty, your teeth
begin to shake loose.
Past sixty,
the soul calms down and fades away.
Everything born with this body
separates and leaves one by one...
Everything born with this body
separates and leaves one by one.
In all of this, will those born beside you
remain with you forever?
Until we end up on the funeral wood,
there is no freedom.
Nothing born through the womb
is permanent.
A mother is here for a short time,
a father is here for a short time.
The hometown is here for a short time,
the relations who joined us are here for a short time.
If you reflect and think about it,
even you are here for a short time,
your memory is here for a short time.
Kings who made history
lasted just a little while.
Even that moon and sun
are here for just a little longer,
just a little longer.
