Текст песни: What I Think About When You Say South Korea + перевод

Now and then, my dad would sometimes talk about Korea

In short bursts and anecdotes in a serious hour

Stories from a distance that I heard then as a young boy

Amongst the tall trees, at our house in the hills

But these days it’s been hard to talk about with him lately

Not like when we were kinds in Columbia, Missouri

That’s what I think when you say South Korea, lately

That’s why I think I have to go back again someday

And I’m thinking lately about it

Several years in the army, part of conscripted forces

Several years at the National University in Seoul

Heard a tale that my mom told me about the first thing that he said to her

Heard a story about a brother who had stayed behind in the war

Some time in the '70s, he flew across the ocean to America

And left it all behind him then

I always wondered why he wanted to come here

I never even asked him about it
