“I'm in Chalhan tonight.“
Brother, tonight I'm in Chaerhan,
The night is rich,
Tonight I only have salt lake wind and night rain!
Brother, tonight I'm in Chaerhan,
There was silence all around,
My heart is sad, embattled in all directions!
The north of the salt lake,
Two empty hands,
The conceited departure, I have no income!
Brother, tonight I'm in Chaerhan,
The sound of the wind was faint,
A desolate, abandoned village!
Except for those,
Passing military vehicles and cannons,
A speeding train...
Turning vegetables into dishes,
Let the loss meet the victory,
Tonight, highland barley wine, do not belong to me!
My heart is silent, everything grows,
All I have is salt lake, west wind, autumn rain,
Brother, tonight I don't care about the sun, I just miss you!
