Introduction

Original Script

Translation

Student 1 : (Irina)

Young bride laments loudly in the reed field

Facing the village gate, her voice rises up into the sky

I have heard for men, who went to war and never came back

But for the first time I heard for someone castrated himself.

A bride’s father-in-law mourn is just over and she haven't even washed her newborn

In this family three generations of men are in the military raster

She tried to complain, but the tiger didn’t let her in

She shouted, but the bull hid in his cowshed.

Student 2 : (Kim Young)

蘆田少婦哭聲長。哭向縣門號穹蒼。

In the Reed Field town, a young lady's wailing goes on and on.

Crying to the county gate, she calls for the blue sky.

夫征不復尙可有。自古未聞男絶陽。

Husbands who were drafted and never made it back, there were many as such.

But from old times, I have not heard of a man who castrated himself [to avoid being drafted].

舅喪已縞兒未澡。三代名簽在軍保。

She just finished mourning for the father-in-law, and her son isn't even bathed yet,

but all three generations were enrolled on the military roster.

薄言往愬虎守閽。里正咆哮牛去皁。

Desperately she went to plead, but a beast-like man guarded the gate,

Student 5 : (Kanghun Ahn)

In Kaldong, the wailing sound of a young lady is growing.

At the county gate, she is crying out loud toward the blue sky.

A husband went to a war, and never came back again.

Since antiquity, I have never heard about a guy castrating himself.

The funeral of her father in law was over a while ago, and the placental water of a baby hasn't been dried yet.

However, all three of them are still (and already) enlisted on the military roster.

Even if she wants to whine about it, the gate guard is scary like a tiger.

The head of the local functionaries yells, and even took their cows from the stable.
