Begrieving snow falls in the dead morning.

Stray dog's howls and the footsteps 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 & 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.
