- One autumn day, 1970
Father and mother lie
in the family burial plot at home
I'm all on my own
here in Seoul
brother and sisters
are down in Pusan
I don't have the fare
so I can't go.
If there's a fare to pay
when you pass away
does that mean
I'll never be able to go?
When you think of it, ah,
what a deep thing life is.
