Song of Hope

희망가 by 전명신

이 풍진 세상을 만났으니 너의 희망이 무엇이냐
Ee Poongjin Sehsangeul Mannyasseuni Neoyeh Hwimanggi Mueossinyah
부귀와 영화를 누렸으면 희망이 족할까
Buukwiwa Yeonghwarul Nuryeosseumyeon Hwimangee Chokhalkka
푸른 하늘 맑은 달 아래 곰곰히 생각하니
Burun Hanul Marheun Dal Ara Gomgomhi Saengakhani
세상 만사가 춘몽 중에 또다시 꿈 됐도다
Sehsang Nasaga Chunmong Jungeh Ddodashi Ggum Dwaessdoda

이 풍진 세상을 만났으니 너의 희망이 무엇이냐
Ee Poongjin Sehsangeul Mannasseuni Neoyeh Hwimanggi Mueosinya
부귀와 영화를 누렸으면 희망이 족할까
Bukwiwa Yeonghwarul Nuryeosseumyeon Hwimanggi Chokhalkka
담소화락에 엄벙덤벙 주색잡기에 침몰하랴
Damsuhwarakeh Eombeongdeombung Chusaekchabgieh Chimmolharya
세상 만사를 잊었으면 희망이 족할까
Sehsang Mansarul Icheosseumyeon Hwimanggi Chokhalkka

English:

This world in seclusion is everything you hoped for
The hope for wealth and prosperity is enough, enjoy it
Imagine the blue sky and the purity under the moon
Everything in this world is composed of nothing but an empty dream

The world to be in seclusion is everything you hoped for
The hope for wealth and prosperity is enough, enjoy it
Submerged in wine and women and chatting frivously
Forget everything in this world, enjoy what you can hope.
