(Content of Song)
“Let us go back home
The icicles in deep mountains melt with the breeze of Spring and the sorrow in my heart melts with the love of my love
Let us hurry and go back home
My love. Where have you gone that you cannot come back?
My love has gone and the Spring has come
When flowers bloom, I think of my love
When I sweat in Summer, I think of my love
When it snows in Winter, I think of my love”
