Translation:



Begrieving snow falls in the dead morning

Stray dog's howls and the footsteops of Geta pierce the air

I walk with the weight of the Milky Way on my shoulders

but an umbrella that holds onto the darkness is all there is.

I'm a woman who walks at the brink of life and death

who's emptied my tears many moons ago.

All the compassion tears and dreams

The snowy nights and tomorrow hold no meaning

I've immersed my body in the river of venegance

and thrown away my womanhood many moons ago

On the behalf of heaven, they're our soldiers, the loyal, invincible and brave.

Now it's time for them to leave the country of their

parents their hearts buoyed by encouraging voices.

They are solemnly resolved not to return alive, without victory.

Here at home, the citizens wait for you.

In foreign lands, the brave troops

Instead of kindness from someone

I do not care about

I rather prefer selifshness from you
