Weekly Danso (단소) Performance



한 오백년 (Five Hundred Year)


A folk song from Korea's Kang-Won province (source Naver).  The name derives from the keyword sang in the refrain.  It is one of most famous example expressing Korean concept of Han, a feeling resulting from being wronged somewhat similar to ire or grudge.  One source of music for 단소 is 이생강 민속악 단소교본.  For those who can read Korean, I have posted the first verse and refrain below.



한 많은 이 세상 야속한 님아 정을 두고 몸만 가니 눈물이 나네.

아무렴 그렇지 그렇구 말구 한 오백년을 살자는데 웬 성화요
