lyrics
(sogeum) Bada-neun gajyeoganeun geoseul beorigi anhneunda The sea does not discard what it takes, it only stops returning it Geuriso sogeum-eun geugeol jikinda, yeongwonhi And salt keeps a thing whole in exchange for never letting it soften Which is the family arrangement, more or less Nothing thrown away, nothing given back Everything preserved in something that stings Salt keeps what it takes, what it takes And nothing in this house has ever been thrown out Salt keeps what it takes, what it takes Not one argument, not one Sunday, not one name Abeoji-neun nae eumag-eul deutji anhneunda, hanbeon-do He has never listened to a record of mine, not once Geureonde ilyoil-e-neun uija-reul mireo dunda And every Sunday there is a chair already pulled out Geuge geu saram-i sarang-eul mal-haneun yuil-han munjang-ida. That chair is the only sentence he has. It is a complete sentence. I have written four hundred and none of mine are that short.
