The way rivers all flow into the sea
is not the only reason I've been weeping
all day long
up on the hill.
It's not the only reason I've been blooming
in longing like a sunflower
all night long
up on the hill.
The reason I'm weeping for sorrow like an animal
up on the hill
is not only because of the way
rivers all just flow into the sea.
Ch'on Sang-pyong (1930 - 1993) South Korea (born: Japan)
