Across a western ocean, night falls,
Across an eastern sea, the sun rises over a new day,

Dreams of home hazily remembered,
Thinking of you standing on the beach,

Unable to separate dreams from reality,
Crying tears,

Ancient songs, reach my ears, stoking the flames of my heart,
Warming my Soul,

She is in my thoughts,

She is my dream,
My hazily remembered dream,
My artist painting a sunrise on the beach,

But still, she is in my thoughts;

When I think of that hazily remembered dream,
That hazily remembered artist and me.
Together we kissed, we kissed my artist,

I miss you.

Loving you is like the warmest coat, on a freezing winter's day,
Holding you in my arms; I  love listening to your breathing,
Your strong heart beating.

Oh beautiful Love,
My warm coat,
A beating heart in my arms,

So close to you love,
Like, only two Souls existing in time,
You're red lips and bright smile,

I want to kiss you, kiss you...
Feel so happy, like on a warm summer day,
Skies are blue,

Long walks, with you,
Singing and laughing,
At all the spring flowers and birds,

Oh love, how much I love you,
I want to kiss you, kiss you...

I've forgotten who I am,
Afraid of the days to come,

Memories drowning in a glass of soju,
Memories hiding in long shadows,
Crying out, telling me who I am,

Not listening,

I've forgotten who I am,
All the ghosts have disappeared,

The cold wind blows through the night,
Yet! I can't breathe, but still only yawn,

Afraid of the days to come,
With only a glass, filled with tears and lost memories.

You! are my sunshine,
To love you is to love a place,

A thorny rose!
You smell so sweet, sweet as a cherry blooming the spring,

Your thorns hurt my heart;
Love is Sharon's rose.
A red rose that lights up my life.

You who reminds me of an impossible past

In my life, I watch red sunsets.
Waiting for! My dream to come true.

Shifting sands,
Memories never are erased,
Lonely song, Arirang, I  love you!

Said goodnight to my dreams,
Looking for the sunrise,
A quiet spring morning, waiting for, the birds to sing,

Days getting longer,

Shifting cold winds,
Streams flowing,
Waves rippling across ponds,

Oh Sunshine, Sunshine!
Turn the grass green,
Dandelions hiding in the lawn,

Chipmunks, hopping bunnies, and the hoo hoo of an owl,
Sparkling, flower buds blossoming;
Red, yellow and pink Tulips,

Clean spring rain showers,
Rainbows and orange sunsets,

A picture perfect spring day.

I think my dreams have broken!
I try to fly through the window of time and space.

Unable to turn back time,
My memories have shattered, like broken glass,
Memories stabbing my heart,

Flying through the darkness of life,
With a broken wing,
With heartache and lost,

For the sake of my life,
I pray for Sunshine, through a window of broken glass.
For the sake of my dreams,
I pray to find you.

Every single ray of sunshine is golden,
Every golden ray of sunshine is a guide,

Guiding me back home to my dreams and you.

Bright yellow sun, you saw me crying alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a beautiful lover of my own.

I don't think I will love ever again.

Yellow sun, you knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for,
A beautiful lover I really could love forever.

I heard the wind whisper ''Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo."
And then suddenly appearing in front of me,
The only woman my arms could ever hold.
It's you, who I've been searching all my life.

But when I looked closer,
You turned into a Princess dressed in a white gown behind a magic mirror! No!

Oh oh oh...

Why are we half a world apart and separated by half a lifetime?

Bright sun, now I'm no longer alone,
Looking with a sad heart, without a beautiful lover of my own.

To my heart, I must be true.
A sad day will never empty my heart again,

We go together,
Like the gayageum and haegeum, playing Arirang.
Remembered forever through time,

Dreaming of us meeting on a warm April spring day half a world away,

I'm loving, loving, loving you.
