Happy Account

By Geum-Hee Yang

Happy account,

Which is in the Heaven

Needless memorize password for Account

 

Even at night,

Shining star lights fill in the happy account

So, don’t worry about bankruptcy

 

Even though it’s a cloudy day

Believe that the clouds do contain happy account,

Behind of their dark clouds

When you see blue sky,

It’s a day,

You transfer love to happy account

 

Withdrawal is Always Possible

The happier,

The interest rate is high

행복계좌

양금희

 

하늘에 있는

행복계좌는

번호를 몰라도

문제없네

 

밤에도 별빛을 채워

계좌가 비는 날은 없으니

흐린 날에도

먹구름 뒤의

행복계좌를 믿으라

 

하늘이 더욱 파란 날은

행복계좌로

사랑을 이체하는 날

 

출금은

언제나

가능하고

행복할수록

이율은 높다
