In a land of cursed, unable to live as a princess,
She departed with her father, wandering from farmland to fairyland.
Father's death, even returning to her homeland,
The hurt heart, it's not easy for her to express.
Her brothers fought for the throne, killing each other,
The corpse's dumped on the field, beasts mocked and ravens jeered.
Who could dare break the king's command? But she feared
Not the order, and flying the poor soul of brother.
Accused of crime for funeral and burying the dead brother
Leaving behind her lover, she took her own life.
That tale become a play and the performing are rife.
And it request the tear of world, sister and mother.
Unable to join the funeral rite of friend
Due to fear, and cutting off the relationship,
For the successful military career discarding the guilt-trip.
When will the grasses grow the grave of friend?
