* 천년바위 : 작사가 장경수씨가 설악산 울산바위를 보고 너무 멋있고 천년이상을 무심하게 변하지 않는 모습을 보고 지은 노래 가사이름이다.(The name of the song was written by the lyricist Jang Kyung-soo, who saw Ulsan Rock on Seoraksan Mountain and was so cool that he did not change carelessly for more than a thousand years)

동녘 저편에

먼동이 트면

철새처럼 떠나리라

세상 어딘가

마음 줄 곳을

집시되어 찾으리라

생은 무엇인가요

삶은 무엇인가요

부질없는 욕심으로

살아야만 하나

 

서산 저 넘어

해가 기울면

접으리라 날개를

내가 숨쉬고 내가 있는 곳

기쁨으로 밝히리라

생은 무엇인가요

삶은 무엇인가요

부질없는 욕심으로

살아야만 하나

이제는 아무 것도 그리워 말자

생각을 하지 말자

세월이 오가는 길목에 서서

천년바위 되리라

천년바위 되리라

천년바위 되리라

[English Translation #1]

A longstanding rock (천년바위)

Over there in the east, when the dawn breaks

I will leave like a migratory bird

Somewhere in the world

I'll find my nest as a gypsy

What is life?

How do we live it?

Should we lead it full of futile greed?

Over there in the west, when the sun fades away,

I will fold my wings

At my precious nest

I will light up there with happiness

What is life?

How do we live it?

With foolish greed

Should we fill it?

Now I'll never long for anything

I'll never have any regrets

Standing at the corner where time passes

I will be a longstanding rock

I will be a longstanding rock

I will be a longstanding rock

[English Translation #2]

When the sun is rising on the east, I will leave like a migratory bird

I will wander like a gypsy looking for a place to rest somewhere in the world

What is living?

What is life?

Should I live with vain greed...?

When the sun tilts beyond west mountain, I will fold wings

Where I breathe and live, I will light up there with joy

What is living?

What is life?

Should I live with vain greed...?

Now I will not longing for anything, will not think of anything

Standing on the road that time's coming and going, I will be a thousand years rock...

will be a thousand years rock

will be a thousand years rock

[English Translation #3]

When the sun is rising on the east, I will leave like a migratory bird

I will become a gypsy and search for a place to rest my heart somewhere in this world

What is life?

What is existence?

Must we live only with pointless desires?

 

Over there in the west, when the sun fades away,

I will fold my wings and rest

I will shine with joy wherever I am

breathing and existing in this world

What is life?

What is existence?

Must we live only with pointless desires?

Let us not long for anything now

Let us not think

Let us stand at the crossroads of time

and become a thousand-year rock.

A thousand-year rock a thousand-year rock

a thousand-year rock
