Nakhwaam Lyrics

Ah Nakhwaam, Ah Goran Temple

The sorrow of Baekje echoes through the stone

Falling into the Baengma River alone

The souls of court ladies rest at Goran Temple

Their pain and tears, forever gentle

Though Gyebaek fought to the bitter end

History's favor lies with those who win

Today, the Baengma River flows in silence

As if weeping with its timeless resilience

Ah Nakhwaam, Ah Goran Temple

The river carries sorrow deep and simple

At the ferry, the fish rise from below

Like the court ladies' cries from long ago

In Buyeo's history, we find some peace

As the pagoda rises, history's echoes never cease

The fish open their mouths, as if to speak

Whispering the sorrow buried deep

The court ladies' voices echo in the stream

A haunting reminder of a tragic dream

In Buyeo's efforts to rebuild its pride

A quiet solace starts to reside

As I gaze at the pagoda standing tall

The sky grows higher, history calls

Ah Nakhwaam, Ah Goran Temple

The river carries sorrow deep and simple

At the ferry, the fish rise from below

Like the court ladies' cries from long ago

In Buyeo's history, we find some peace

As the pagoda rises, history's echoes never cease

The breath of history reaches to the sky

Sorrow and hope in the river's cry

Within the waters and in the air

We feel the stories that linger there

Ah Nakhwaam, Ah Goran Temple

The river carries sorrow deep and simple

At the ferry, the fish rise from below

Like the court ladies' cries from long ago

In Buyeo's history, we find some peace

As the pagoda rises, history's echoes never cease

With the scent of history in the air

We stand beneath Buyeo's sky, aware
