Rose garden way up in the sky,
Sun-Yung filled with the sunshine of,
The young springtime year of the rabbit,
Of wooden stairs down to the great river at low tide,
Gentle, quiet, elegant, and alert; quick, skillful, kind, and patient
The sea is high.

Rose garden way up in the sky,
Sun-Yung makes me want to fly,
Time goes by,
Mom's Sunday morning pancakes,
Red roses and blue skies, and everything still,
Brings thoughts of Sun-Yung.

Sun-Yung's arms and dancing until sunrise in the gardens of Seoul,
And cherry blossoms,
Settle softly to the ground,
I dream of returning to my home and Sun-Yung's love,
"Romeo and Juliet"
Painted a picture of my life and my thoughts.

Rose garden way up in the sky,
Sun-Yung filled with the sunshine,
Memories of Mom's Sunday morning pancakes,
Red roses and blue skies, and everything still,
Brings thoughts of Sun-Yung,

The love of my life.

Give me chocolate Tiffany!

I was sick and tired of everything,
When I called you last night from my dreams.
All I do is wash and polish and play with kitty,
Wishing! that, I could experience true love again.

Gimme! Gimme! Give me chocolate!
Won't somebody help me live happily ever after!
Gimme! Gimme! Give me chocolate!
I really want to live happily ever after!

Tiffany, I was defeated, you won the war.
Tiffany, promise to love me forever more.
Tiffany, I couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Tiffany, knowing my fate is to be with you.
Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow Tiffany!
Finally! Facing Tiffany and fainting!

You are the dancing gisaeng, here in my dreams.
Dancing gisaeng, feel the beat of the drum.
You can live happily ever after; 
You can live happily ever after, having the time of your life.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! chocolate,
Won't somebody help me live happily ever after, Tiffany?

When should I give up?
When I can't find evidence of love.
When is the right time to get closer?
A good time for the tears to stop?

Can't find the courage to stand in front of you,

I can only stand here in this distant place,
Looking at you, my dream,

After all, there seems to be one thing I will never do.

It's about to rain pink cherry blossoms in that far away place,
Tears are falling at days end,

Crying, while watching sunsets dawning
Over the shores of a dream far to the East,

Why do I think so much of you?
A woman dressed in red, white blue and black,
Waving from the shores of an Eastern Sea.

Are you a person?
Or, only a dream waving from that distant place?

Am I wrong to have such thoughts,
When I can't find evidence of love,
Can't find the courage to stand beside you?

War ***** and fighting *****.
Why can't people party all night?

The world is a crazy place.
All I want to is dance the night away,
But my life is full of spiders and snakes.

I wonder when it will end?

You want Queen Seondeok of Silla,
You want Kim Yuna of Korea,

But all I see is the devil's rage.
Oh! The devil's rage.
Oh! War and fighting, they'll destroy this beautiful place,
Drain our lives of Love and wonder.

War ***** and fighting *****.
Why can't people party all night?
The world is a wild place.
All I want to is dance the day away,

But my life is full of spiders and snakes hiding under rocks.

I really want the world to end,
Goodbye Queen Seondeok of Silla,
Goodbye Kim Yuna of Korea,

And good riddance to the devil's rage.
Oh! The devil's rage.

Oh! War and fighting, will bury us under falling mushroom dust,
Drain our lives of Love and wonder.

War ***** and fighting *****.
The world is out of control,
All I want to do is plant new Hope in dry Souls,
But my life is full of spiders and snakes hiding under rocks.

Your life doesn't have to end.
Sing a song of hope with Queen Seondeok of Silla,
Sing the song of "Arirang."

Dance with Queen Kim Yuna of Korea on Ice,
And put a curse on devil's rage.
Oh, the devil's rage.

Your life is hard and filled with hatred,
But don't care? Get out and dance.

Follow the sunrise to your destination.
Leave the war and fighting behind,

Plant new Hope!

You want the greatest thing,
The biggest thing since becoming a poet.
You've got it all; you've got the world in your hands,

If you are confused, check with Arirang.
Carry a pen to help you along.

Get out and dance,
On the dance floors of the world.
