Ballad of a Yellow Flower by Suchoon Mo

How many years have gone by since that very day
When I saw you being carried away
Your beautiful bosom crushed by the war
While I stood in silence and said no word?

Let those years pass into where they must go
Into the world where memories must go
I shall stay here and wait for you to come
As a yellow flower that blooms alone
