Gwisgae neomchineun bada
Nun-eul gamgo neukkinda
Nan jalie gamanh-i anja
Hanghaehaneun beob-eul al-a

The sea overflowing in my ears
I close my eyes and feel it
I sit quietly in place
I know how to navigate

Baetnolae baetnolae
Oeloum-eul deonjineun nolae
Myeotgogae myeotgogae-ui
Padoleul neom-eoya hana

Sea shanty, sea shanty
A song that casts away loneliness
How many, how many waves
Do I need to overcome?

Sogeumgi meogeum-eun balam
Ipsul geos-eul jeogsin-da
Nan sonbal-i modu mukkyeodo
Jayu-haneun beob-eul al-a

Wind infused with salt
Touches the surface of my lips
Even if my hands and feet are bound
I know how to be free

Baetnolae baetnolae
Oeloum-eul deonjineun nolae
Myeotgogae myeotgogae-ui
Padoleul neom-eoya hana

Sea shanty, sea shanty
A song that casts away loneliness
How many, how many waves
Do I need to overcome?
