Who were you waiting for
that you turned into a standing stone?
The mournful river sound that
waves under my feet is
full of burning grief and tears.

In times of suffering,
as you wait for him,
you become Man-Boo Suk.

Today,
the threadlike rain
cools her burning tears.

With sad longing,
the flocks of seagulls
call for their mates.

The Heh-Geum River
once again stands as a stone
and waits for its lover,
full of longing.
