Kye sou na
Mou han-na mou

Na ra ro.
In a small, white boat
In the blue sky
Are a cinnamon tree and a rabbit.
Without sail and without oar,
Yet gliding,
Gliding smoothly to a western shore.
Sailing across the Milky Way
To the land of clouds.
Where does it journey
Beyond the land of clouds?
Towards the sparkling reflection
So far away,
To the beacon light of a new dawn.
Now, child, find a road.

푸른하늘 은하수 하얀 쪽 배엔
계수나무 한 나무 토끼 한 마리
돛대도 아니 달고 삿대도 없이
가기도 잘도간다 서쪽 나라로
은하수를 건너서 구름나라로
구름나라 지나선 어디로 가나
멀리서 반짝반짝 비치이는 건
샛별이 등대란다 길을 찾아라
