8
00:01:33,554 --> 00:01:40,582
Beyond the garden fence are flowers.
Along the lakeside are willows.

9
00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:47,828
The voice of the oriole sounds loudly.
The dances of the variegated butterfly weave.

10
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:57,097
Among those butterflies, willows and flowers,
I want to stroll without a care.

11
00:03:02,091 --> 00:03:08,182
The stronger the rain pours down, 
the fresher the lotus is.

12
00:03:08,262 --> 00:03:13,250
But the petals, if you'll note,
are not any more moist.

13
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:19,485
I wish my soul were pure as a lotus...

14
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:47,051
A wonderful dream from afar
has brought me my sweetheart.

15
00:03:47,154 --> 00:03:53,725
I shiver with delight, then my dream
whirls away and she is no more.

16
00:03:53,977 --> 00:04:01,017
Could it be that you disappeared
because I dared to wake too early?

17
00:04:02,685 --> 00:04:10,011
Rain pours down over the lake, 
drops splash on the willow-branches,

18
00:04:10,194 --> 00:04:16,297
while slow birds
carefully tread the earth.

19
00:04:16,434 --> 00:04:24,628
There is no better place in the world
than where I met my sweetheart.

20
00:04:40,262 --> 00:04:42,857
Will the gale knock down the mountain?

21
00:04:42,925 --> 00:04:45,691
Will the gale knock down the mountain?

22
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,234
Will the rain wear away the stone?

23
00:04:49,862 --> 00:04:53,314
Who has seen it run dry?

24
00:04:53,394 --> 00:04:59,954
Who has seen the love
that bound the eyes run dry?

25
00:05:00,331 --> 00:05:03,954
If the mountain should crumble
from the gale!

26
00:05:04,125 --> 00:05:13,200
If the mountain should crumble from the gale, 
then you will know estrangement.

27
00:06:57,085 --> 00:07:02,320
Hurry, kindle a fire in the furnace.

28
00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:06,994
Fire easily melts metal.

29
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:14,868
The fire that overcomes evil
can be kindled only in the heart.

30
00:07:14,937 --> 00:07:23,737
It is so easy to deal with evil,
but where can one find such a heart?

31
00:08:28,845 --> 00:08:31,897
Hurry, kindle a fire in the furnace.

32
00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:35,360
Fire easily melts metal.

33
00:08:35,805 --> 00:08:41,748
The fire that overcomes evil
can be kindled only in the heart.

34
00:08:42,548 --> 00:08:51,874
It is so easy to deal with evil,
but where can one find such a heart?

35
00:09:18,937 --> 00:09:26,297
If they ask what I will become
after death, I will answer.

36
00:09:26,422 --> 00:09:32,171
Higher than the Kunle summit,
A lofty pine I will become.

37
00:09:32,308 --> 00:09:39,874
Let the whole world freeze under the snow,
And only I'll turn yet more green.
