Waiting for you in the bright moonlight,

Some nights I don't want to do anything;

I don't want to leave you,
I don't want to miss you,
I don't want to fall asleep,

I never get tired of waiting for you,

I'm afraid to close my eyes,

Waiting for you in the bright moonlight,
Oh, my love,
I can't forget you.

Cold has arrived;
Tonight I see snow falling from the sky,

It seems like for a thousand lifetimes I have,
Waited to stand before you,
To feel the cold white flakes tickle my nose!
To feel the cold white flakes touch my lips!

It seems like for a thousand lifetimes I have,
Waited to stand in front of you,

The flowers have gone,
The snow is falling like white rose pedals,
Snow flakes falling on the water look like sparking diamonds,

It seems like for a thousand lifetimes I have,
Waited to stand along side of you,

Standing here looking at you covered in pure white,
So cold, so beautiful you are,
Yet! Looking at you, makes my heart feel warm,
Tears fall from my eyes; I missed you,

It seems like for a thousand lifetimes I have waited,

To walk alongside a river named 'Han'.

When I look far to the East, I suddenly realize that,
I've been standing here for a very long time,

Our beginning has been the longest ride,

A journey for nearly three years,

It's still summer time in my mind;

I remember “Rolling in The Deep,”
I remember finding Seoul,
I remember looking far to the East,
into this new world and seeing a miracle,

You send me dreams of our past,
You send me amazing things,

I miss you!

I only hope the circle of time brings
me back home again.

Your beauty is in a time so far away that I can never reach,

I stand here in the February 17 snow
and raise a glass of wine to the past,

Your beauty is in a time so far away, that I can never reach,

Your smile is like blooming cherry blossoms in the springtime
Your eyes are as dark and beautiful as Tahitian pearls,

Your beauty is in a time so far away, that I can never reach,

My love for your beauty and charm will always last,

For more than one thousand years your name,
has not been forgotten,

And until the end of time,
My beautiful Queen Seondeok! of Silla,
Your beauty and charm will always last!

I've always known you were just a dream,
When morning comes, only memories of you are left behind,

I want to think quietly,
To not forget you,

Write words about love and you,

How can such thoughts come from something unreal?

I turn on the lights at midnight,
But I can't stop these thoughts of you,

Dreams of love that make me miss you,
Someone that does not exist,

Every minute, Every second

How can I forget someone like you?

When I've almost forgotten you,
I fall asleep and
You visit me in my dreams.

How can I forget a dream?

I've forgotten,
How long it has been, since, I left my home,
A long time ago,

I've thought for a long time,

How I miss;
“The “clear song” of the magpie
that reflects the
bright and hopeful spirits” of my home
so long ago,

How, I miss my home where
the flower from heaven,
Mugunghwa blooms.

How, I miss the hard work,
As a poor farmer,

How very much I miss a kinder less
complicated time and place,
That was my home so long ago.

We said goodbye,
We said we would not meet again,
in this lifetime,

You wrote me my first love poem,
We wrote our memories together,

At least I have my first love poem to,
keep me crying and smiling,

Memories become more quiet every day,
Silent memories set us free,

Until,
Many years later, we meet;

Silently saying hello,
You wrote me my first love poem,
My eternal Love.
