English Translation:
Who’s there? Come, come close to me
Right, a little bit more. Yes. Eolssu, this is great
Dear fearless traveler at this night.
Please listen to me for a moment
Drink a cup of water with the leaves floating and take a break in here
Namu-amita-bul protect me, merciful spirit
Namu-amita-bul, protect me, merciful-
I am a young man just turned 21 this year,
Who died bluff that I could hunt a tiger
With this miserable grief, I can’t cross styx
Oh! Dear, won’t you help me?
Eol-ssigu, this is great. Eo-jeol-ssigu, this is great
Let’s dance a shoulder dance with me
Let’s dance on this night until you lose your mind
Let’s dance right under the teeth of the mountain god
Namu-amita-bul namu-amita-bul
Let me see how strong your life thread be
Let me see how long your pretty life thread be
Between the trees, there is a bear ghost. Bottom of the pond, there is a water ghost
Beyond the sky, there is a phoenix. Behind the traveler, there is a goblin
What a shining bright full moon, eolssu!
Behold, now the greatest tiger is coming down to this whispering mountain
Eol-ssigu, this is great. Eo-jeol-ssigu, this is great
Let’s dance a shoulder dance, let’s dance
Show us some of your pitiful tricks
Now this will be your grave
Eol-ssigu, this is great. Eo-jeol-ssigu, this is great
Let’s dance together a shoulder dance, let’s dance
This illusion night will disappear when you open your eyes
Now from this haunted path,
I’ll take you to the mountain god
