English Translation

ha-na-ui bul-i tae-eo-nat-da

a single fire was born

The flame engulfed the silence
splitting apart the dark

hi-wa to-do-ka-na-i tai-yo-no ma-bo-ro-shi-o o-i-ka-ke-te o-o-ki-ku nat-ta.

the fire grew larger, chasing the unreachable phantom of the sun.

gal-la-jin teum-eu-ro ssot-a-ji-neun goeng-eum
nun-eul tae-u-neun chal-na-ui seom-gwang

a roar pouring through the cracks
a momentary flash that burns the eyes

u-t-su-ku-shii yu-ra-me-ki-ni i-za-na-wa-re,

enticed by the beautiful flicker,

yo-ri o-o-ki-ku mo-e-a-ga-ru ko-to da-ke-ga

that only burning up more brightly

son-zai-no ri-yuu da-to shin-ji-te-i-ta.

was the reason for its existence, it believed.

In the end, it devoured itself and scattered
to ashes — a paradoxical existence
A vanishing point of blue light in finite time

ha-na-ui bul-eun jae-ga doe-at-da
mo-deun geot-i mul-leo-nan go-yo
sun-gan-gwa yeong-won-i mat-mul-li-neun bul-byeon-ui si-gong

a single fire turned into ashes
a silence where everything has retreated
an unchanging space-time where the moment and eternity intertwine

The name that resounds from the lowest
depths, the sign of existence etched onto
the soul

hi-wa ha-i-no na-ka-ka-ra hi-da-ne-to-shi-te fu-ta-ta-bi me-o sa-ma-su.

the fire wakes up again from the ashes as an ember.

The ember with its resilient heat
melts the coarse grains to translucence

ya-mi-no ka-ta-su-mi-de mi-chi-ni ma-yo-t-ta hi-to-mi-o te-ra-shi-ta.

it illuminated the eyes lost in a corner of the darkness.

gyeo-ul sup-eul he-mae-deon a-i-ui eo-reo-but-eun bal-eul gam-ssat-da
a-i-neun ja-geun sum-eul nae-baet-at-da

it wrapped around the frozen feet of a child wandering the winter forest
the child exhaled a small breath

ge-u-ri-ha-yeo sum-i bul-eul bal-hi-eot-da

thus, the breath lit the fire

hi-da-ne-wa a-t-su-i i-ki-ni-yo-t-te fu-ta-ta-bi mo-e-a-ga-ru.

the ember flares up again by the hot breath.

At last, the flame is born
