Rainy Day at Tangumdai

Kinsley Lee

Ureug'd played the gayageum, whether spring'd arrived or autumn'd departed, .

Sorrowful destiny, he never visited his hometown where once departed.

The sorrowful songs of a lost country, he'd played and carried it on the river's flow,

Even now, when it rains, the old songs seems to be heard with woe.
