I remember our childhood song that begins with the words *peureun* 하늘.
I feel suffocating desperately searching for the lost lyrics of our childhood songs
And I break down and cry uncontrollably.
I remember the words *peureun* 산, 개나리, 진달래, 무궁화, 노랑 나비 and 겨울 나무 from other songs.
Why am I crying while humming the melodies of our childhood songs?
Why every song from our childhood makes me cry?
Why did our childhood songs have to end like this?
I remember our childhood song that begins with the words 우리의 소원,
