Who waited thousands of years for the day her lover would come.
Every year, every summer, she was afflicted by strange, uninvited earthlings,
But the virgin Haewoondoo firmly kept her chastity like that of a bamboo tree.
Finally, impatience led her to disguise herself and appear as a mermaid.
She overthrew her waters and uplifted herself to the height of a rock.
Day by day, she sighed faintly to meet her anticipated lover,
the King of Grace.
She longed for the Heavenly King's arrival,
And then, after thousands of years and 12 years passed, in February,
The long awaited King of Grace whom she had merely dreamed of, finally sought her.
The young, graceful King held the mermaid princess' hand saying,
"Thank you my love for awaiting so long, for keeping your chastity."
And the two happily joined together in matrimony.
Sing O heavens! Sing O earth!
All you oceans sing!
Congratulate the King of Grace and the mermaid princess on their joyful wedding.
And this mermaid princess is rightly me ( ).
