(Chinese)
The sun descends over the mountain and rises the next morning
Flowers wither and bloom again the same way next year
The beautiful baby bird flies away without a trace
Just like the baby bird, the spring of my youth doesn’t return.
Just like the baby bird, the spring of my youth doesn’t return.
This mustn’t be so…this mustn’t be so—
The spring of my youth flies away like the bird and doesn’t return.
(Korean)
The sun rises again
Flowers bloom again with the coming of spring.
But like the baby bird, who flies up and goes far,
The spring of my youth does not return,
The spring of my youth does not return.
(Chinese)
This mustn’t be so…this mustn’t be so.
(Korean)
The spring of my youth does not return
