Four Songs with Traditional Tune (7-10)

7. Plum blossom
My love is away from me. My gaze rests on a bent branch of a plum tree, reflected on the window pane: The fragrance of the flower …I am moved…as if my love is coming back: I am still waiting and enjoying being alone.

8. Saying ‘I know not’
Life is so closely attached to the surrounding nature; mountain and creek. Asking them ‘do you know I am really waiting for my love?’
The mountain says ‘I know not.’
The creek says ‘I know not.’

9. Wild peach flower
A scenic view of a beautiful mountain village on an early spring day; deer are at the creek, birds are chirping and the peach flowers are standing out.

10. Drum
The drum is the instrument for accompanying traditional songs. It has all the tempos and expressions as a shadow behind the singer; however, the
drum knows all about singing as well as life.
You sing; I play.

Four Lyric Songs (11-14)

11. Missing beloved one
My love is at a place very far away where I can not reach at all. Without my knowing, I am at the creek. Ah! The water and moon stay still with me sobbing as if they have my mind.

12. My love is…
My love is palely seen on the water at dusk like a shadow…so calm;
My love is like a fallen leaf at dark night…soundless.

13. The sea
Longing for love;
The life at the sea to be told to you!

14. On each flower falling
Without a dear one, flowering in spring is meaningless. On the way to the Jin’gwan temple, I felt the pain on each flower falling.

Folk Songs (15-19)

15. A bachelor’s song
I want to marry you, maid!
Life together is a lot easier and happier!

16. Farmer’s song
The refrain has a more beautiful line than the solo.

17. Jin-do Arirang
The refrain is more fun.

18.About 5 hundred years
Life is suffering!

19. Southern sea chant
Vast sea, dark blue sea, and
the sea with higher waves!
Under captain’s commands, a boat moves well!
‘o ya ji yo… o ho ya!’ shouting together…
