Sorrow
When I was separated from you, I lived in the prison building
The tears of my life are so many that I have to live with them.
Holding the food in my hand, I couldn't stop my tears
How shameful was the crime I committed, how could I hold my head up
Leaving my loved ones, I lost my freedom, and my tears turned into bitter streams
From now on, I won't be able to see my loved ones again, and my heart will be filled with unlimited sadness
Worrying about my life is not an easy thing to do
It's been a long time since I left you, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do anything about this.
Since I parted from you, I have been living in a prison building
Tears can't stop flowing, they can't stop flowing down
The two-foot-eight sign was hung around my neck, and the streets and alleys took me on a tour
There were no oil in my hands, and there wasn't even a drop of oil in the food
What a pain it was to be in prison, and what a pain to have one step to take.
Holding the food in my hand, I couldn't stop my tears from flowing
How shameful was the crime I committed, how could I hold my head up
Leaving my loved ones, I lost my freedom, and my tears turned into bitter water
From now on, I won't be able to see my loved ones again, and I'll feel a great deal of sadness in my heart
