1, 이래저래 살아봐도
일백년 인생이요

아둥바둥 살아봐도
일백년 인생이라네

그깟백년 살아보려 몸부림쳤소

기껏백년 살아보려 발버둥쳤소

수천금을 가졌어도 부족한마음

수만금을 가졌어도 모자란마음

천년만년 살거라고
착각하며 살았소

빈손으로 가는인생
인생은 일장춘몽

Tried to live this & that way, 
Yet, it's just a hundred years of life at most

Tried to live in my best, floundering, yet
Yet, it's just a hundred years of life, they say

For just that 100 years, I squirmed & wiggled

For just that 100 years, I writhed myself

Never content, even with thousands of gold bullion

Wanting more, even with tens of thousands of them

As if I'd live for tens of thousands years,
I lived in delusion

Passing on empty-handed,
life is an empty spring dream

For just that 100 years, I squirmed & wiggled

For just that 100 years, I writhed myself

Never content, even with thousands of gold bullion

Wanting more, even with tens of thousands of them

As if I'd live for tens of thousands years,
I lived in delusion

Passing on empty-handed,
life is an empty spring dream

Tried to live this & that way, 
Yet, it's just a hundred years of life at most

Tried to live inmy best, floundering, yet
Yet, it's just a hundred years of life, they say
