Laughing together as flowers bloom, cried together as they fade
At such sweet sounding pledge, the spring day pass.
The age of 19 years makes one sad as sun sets down
Pounding her chest, even today
On the crossroad under the floating clouds
Laughing together as birds fly, cried together as they cry
At such ironic song, the spring day passes.
A green grass blade upon the stream was floating by
Casting my flower letter, even today
On the road for stagecoach, pulled ny rippling young mule
Laughing toether as stars rise, cried together as they fade
At such vain promise, the sping days passes.
“Spring Day Goes By” is a lyrically poignant song that was originally composed to console the emotional scars left by the Korean War. Even today, it continues to be cherished by many Koreans who interpret its message in a modern context.
As we face the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, we can draw inspiration from the song’s message of resilience and hope. Let us all have the courage to live our lives with renewed vigor and vitality, despite the scars that may linger. Let us unite and go ahead to future on together
