Verse 1. One white cloud has just passed
The cloud looked as if it was rubbing gently
the tips of branches of a tree
which was swaying in a breeze.
I hear the sound of car engine going far away.
These things reminded me that time was surely moving.
And I saw myself traveling, riding on the wings of time.
Birds are gathering together and singing at their top
The voice of the birds are filled with joy
as if they are singing together with rays of morning sun.
Since all the creation are praising God
Why don't we join them praising Him as long as we live.
2.I was awakened in the middle of night
by the sound of rain hitting the roof hard.
Then I remembered the night
when I was living in home village long ago.
I remember the night well. It was a windy night.
I was listening alone to the howling wind
which was hitting the bamboo trees right next to the house.
If I wonder in memory of long ago,
the faces of my old friends appear on my mind one by one.
And they disappear in my tears
Every time I think about my home in the village
where I won't be able to go back again.
My heart is filled with sigh and I am sad and lonely.
The sadness which comes from thinking about my home
in the villege where I will no long be able to go back.
Helps me to long for the promised home in heaven.
I will keep longing for the day when I will be bone again
in the land where the time doesn't exist.
I will keep singing until the day.
