The Sea

When I was young, I was also like the waves

I came with my bare hands and was defeated with my bones

That fearless roar

No more echoes. When I was no longer young

I still believe that the rocky

There will be a time to collapse. The sea, the sea

Like mother, who broke the devil's compass

Nowadays, everywhere I go, I have to take a handful of seawater

Taste a different bitter taste with my mouth

Only then, it gives me an extra sense of ritual

Just like the puppy on the beach

No matter how far I am teased by the waves, I can find my mother's nipple by the smell
