Song of P'yongyang without Refrain
Although P'yongyang is my capital,
Although I love the repaired city,
Instead of parting I'd rather stop spinning
If you love me I'll follow you with tears.
Were the pearls to fall on the rock,
Would the thread be broken?
If I parted from you a thousand years,
Would my heart be changed?
Not knowing how wide the river is,
You pushed the boat off, boatman.
Not knowing how loose your wife is,
You had my love board the ferry, boatman.
The flower beyond the Taedong River,
When he has crossed the shore
When he has crossed he will pluck another flower!
Although I love the repaired city,
Instead of parting I'd rather stop spinning
If you love me I'll follow you with tears.
Were the pearls to fall on the rock,
Would the thread be broken?
If I parted from you a thousand years,
Would my heart be changed?
Not knowing how wide the river is,
You pushed the boat off, boatman.
Not knowing how loose your wife is,
You had my love board the ferry, boatman.
The flower beyond the Taedong River,
When he has crossed the shore
When he has crossed he will pluck another flower!
