Like a fresh spring
gushing out of a rock, that is how you became.
You are inside my eyes,
the very light of my vision!
By the edge of the lake...
Hey...
By the shore of the lake,
the moment you stood there, my decorated chariot,
completely and all at once,
my heart leans toward you.
The bright moon is not in the sky;
Hoy...
a girl like the moon has walked onto the earth!
Hoy...
Putting gunpowder in her words,
she stole my life without truly killing me!
Hoy...
Holding back my shyness,
Hoy...
he left me longing with a cool shiver.
Hoy...
Making me gently relish every moment,
I become a bee buzzing over fresh blossoms.
Hoy...
The seedlings planted in the mud... ooh...
Ho ho ho ho ho ho-ooh...
As all the seedlings planted in the mud
bloom and dance in the wind,
Ho oh oh-oh...
like the chime of silver anklets,
this girl's heart sways along.
You are my whole way of life;
I will come with you, my beloved.
With tender, sweet words,
speaking softly with affection,
like paddy nurtured by water,
the hunger of love will be calmed.
With your five fingers,
if you touch my chest,
like drops of morning dew,
all my pain will melt away.
My heart is now turning into golden grain,
my girl, hoy...
Your eyes tie me up in bundles
and carry me away, hoy...
The bright moon is not in the sky;
Hoy...
a girl like the moon has walked onto the earth!
Hoy...
Putting gunpowder in her words,
she stole my life without truly killing me!
Hoy...
Holding back my shyness,
Hoy...
he left me longing with a cool shiver.
Hoy...
Making me gently relish every moment,
I become a bee buzzing over fresh blossoms.
Hoy...
...
Reaching the lily pond...
Reaching into the lily pond,
you are the fresh river water, my man.
Aa... aaa... ho-ooh... oh-oh... oh-ooh...
As the stream leaps and runs,
the little fish dance along with it.
Just like that darting fish,
I will come along with you, my love.
Like the roaring sea,
my heart keeps searching for you.
You are my only family,
to love and cherish every day.
High atop the mountain,
your honor and fame will grow.
In the breeze that touches you,
my very soul will thrive.
Her heart is celebrating a festive gathering now,
look at that, hoy...
Two infant rivers flow together in love,
joining as one, my man, hoy...
The bright moon is not in the sky;
Hoy...
a girl like the moon has walked onto the earth!
Hoy...
Putting gunpowder in her words,
she stole my life without truly killing me!
Hoy...
Holding back my shyness,
Hoy...
he left me longing with a cool shiver.
Hoy...
Making me gently relish every moment,
I become a bee buzzing over fresh blossoms.
Hoy...
