The Ferry Boat and the Passenger
by Manhae Han Yong-un
I am a ferry boat.
You're my passenger.
you treat on me with muddy feet.
I cross the river, hugging you in my arms.
When you are in my arms,
I do not care
Whether the river is deep, shallow or rapid.
If you do not come,
I wait for you from morning till night,
Exposed to winds and wet with snow or rain.
Once you reach the other bank,
You go away without looking back.
But I know you will come back some day.
So I grow old, waiting for you day and night.
I am a ferry boat.
You're my passenger.
