坂本龍一 (Ryuichi Sakamoto)
京城音楽 (SEOUL MUSIC)
[Verse 1]
Dongdaemon
Kimpo Airport
An old man with a stick, in white baji chogori
With a black katsu on his head
The taxi driver kept asking if I wanted a woman
ハイウェイは滑走路
Myongdong St. has no neon signs
Roadside pillboxes with armed police in front
国の花はムクゲ
[Chorus]
An example of life in old Korea
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
An example of life in old Korea
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
An example of life in old Korea
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
An example of life in old Korea
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
An example of life in old Korea
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
An example of life in old Korea
(There is a curfew from midnight 'til 4)
The girl wouldn't let me take her picture
(ハイカラな明洞娘)
(From Busan you can see Tsushima)
[Verse 2]

夜間の道路上での駐車は駐車灯を点灯すること
