The Manjeoncheun
When I lie alone, restless, vigilant,Only peach blossoms wave over the west window.You have no grief, welcome the spring breeze.
I have believed those who vowed to each other;"My soul will follow yours forever."Who, who persuaded me this was true?
"O duck, beautiful duck, why do you comeTo the swamp, instead of the shoal?""If the swamp freezes, the shoal will do."
A bed on Mount South, jade pillow, gold brocade.And beside me a girl sweeter than musk,Let us press our hearts together, our magic hearts.

Kasa
There is between heaven and earthmany a man who’s worth as I.Why don’t they know the great JoyOf living in the wooded mountains?With a grass hut of a few baysbuilt to face a clear blue stream,In the lush wood of pine and bambooI am the master of wind and moon.
