To truly visit my dream;
My dream of a Miracle,

A dream of a shrimp turning into a Giant Whale,
A dream that has come true,

No longer needing to imagine or daydream,
What my future will bring,

Visions of places I can only remember in my dreams,
places with familiar but strange names;
Beautiful visions of places called Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Inchon, and  Gyeongju. Where a beautiful queen named Seondeok once lived. And her spirit still shines!

To truly visit this place where my dreams come from,
This fantastic place and people,

Because I took a chance to visit my dream,
I can finally stop longing,
And wondering what my future will bring,
In this place called Korea.

A field with one thousand roses,

I only see one white flowering rose,

Obsession is only one white rose,
Obsession is only seeing you,

Blind to all others,

Using soju,
I create a mist,
That only surrounds you,
This, obsession with one white rose,
Is an impossible thing,
Sun shining through the mist,
Reflecting your love out to me,

But I can not see your face,
The sun is too bright,

Still I see a lovely white rose through the mist,

I want to grab hold,

But your thorns are too sharp,

How can I suffer knowing you exist, in the midst of my dreams,

That!

I will never be able to touch you,

Why am I obsessed with a single white flower?
When fate has sent to me a gift of 999 red roses?

Tonight I will dream of your magical city lights and,
Tigers everywhere. That far away place where you live,

Listening to echoes of ocean waves and your Jeju music,
I long to sip from your charming glass filled with Soju,

In my dreams;

I fly on the exquisite silver winged magpie,
Witnessing -- skimming over vast continents, oceans and seas,
Of sparkling waves of my happy tears;

The depths of all the seas of the world,
Shall never separate our shining love again,
As this growing love, brings our Souls together from afar,

In the twilight, we feast on chocolate-coated Jolly pong,
With tender chocolate kisses of love,

Adorned in white silk robes, we pluck our loud love chimes from our hearts,

I touch your cheek,
Like magic, your charm appears,
Warming my heart,
You grab hold;
Place your head against my chest,
Listening to the music of my beating heart,

Our Souls melt into one song,

You will always be my adorable Korean princess,
The kindest Soul of my growing eye of love.

In that place of dreams, where my hopes and fantasies lie,

You will always find my Spirit smiling,

Looking at the sky, where magpies soar high,
Lifted by a calm morning breeze,

Listening to the music of a busy city,
Listening to cars, trucks and buses of many colors,
As they pass by,

In that place of dreams, where my hopes and fantasies lie,
You will always find my Spirit wanting to, taste the food of
An Eastern city,
Ooh! I'm hungry for Kimbap, Kimchi, ooh! I've,
Always wanted to taste Egg Toast,

The aroma of coffee is heavenly,

In that place of dreams, where my hopes and fantasies lie,
I will meet my hungry Spirit in Seoul someday...

Feeling sad,

Because, I've been feeling lonely and tired
Of this world for so very long,

I've been dreaming of you too much,
I'm afraid I will never touch you,

When I think of you, I smile,
But it's a forced smile to fight the sad tears,

Being together with you,
Seems an impossible thing to do,

I should try to forget my dreams,
But I don't want to say this for sure,

I'm afraid I can not hold back my tears anymore,

I don't understand why fate has treated me so cruelly,

I think Fate has played a joke on me,
First introducing me to you,  
And now,
Sending me on a path, in a direction away from you.

Hello, my future,

Nice to hear from you again,

Tomorrow, I'll carry my heart home to you,

Our hearts will never be apart again,

My days covered with dark clouds, smothering me with pouring tears,

Will end,

Hello, my future,
Nice to see you today, In the bright sunshine,
So quiet,  As I step off the plane,
It feels like the Universe has stopped time,
No one is saying a word,

Kneeling down I touch my Seoul,
Forgetting my memories of being alone.

Too many miles between you and I,

Too many years separate our embrace,

I hate my fate,

Why out of all the possibilities,
Could I be born so far away from you?

So many miles,
So many years,

Away from your Soul and smile,

I feel like giving up myself
I let my second chance at love,
Pass me by,

I hate my fate,
I've been a fool, to wait! Too many years,
Before saying I love you,

But you don't have to worry,
I will always love you,

I have fallen in love with an impossible dream,
That will never come true,

I realize that I have waited too long,
Just because you are you,

I hate the path, fate has sent me on,
I realize you have countless loves, which travel with you every day.

When. They have left you,
I will always be here loving you,

I love you.
