Korean lyrics by Won-Su Lee, French lyrics by Marc Bissonnette et Robert Filion

고향의 봄

나의 살던 고향은 꽃피는 산골
복숭아꽃 살구꽃 아기 진달래
울긋불긋 꽃대궐 차린 동네
그 속에서 놀던 때가 그립습니다

꽃동네 새동네 나의 옛고향
파란 들 남쪽에서 바람이 불면
냇가에 수양버들 춤추는 동네
그 속에서 살던 때가 그립습니다

Translation:

Flowers bloom deep in the mountains around my old hometown
Peach blossoms, apricots, baby azaleas
A vibrant palace of flowers, in every colour
How I miss the times when I played in there

A village of flower mounds, New Village, my old hometown
The wind blows in the green pasture from the south
Making the willow trees dance by the creek
How I miss the times when I lived in there

With text by Marc Bissonnette et Robert Filion:

Pays aux montagnes et rivières brodé de soie
De nos coeurs et nos voix cet appel a la joie
Pour ce pays du matin frais
Dans mes reves j'en peint le portrait.
