Let’s go

The moon is nice today

Let’s go

Play music, blow on pipes

It’s a good night with that moon

The starlight that shines around us is coming

Nothing is planned

Walk as far as you can go

The moon is nice

I’m like Jeon Woo Chi performing Taoist magic *

Fly like a butterfly, shoot like a bee

Sweep all the bad guys away

There’s no one who doesn’t know me on that street

And I feel good

Flashing up in the West to East, there’s a festival going on for us

Nuilririya ongheya eolssu eolssu** (2 times)

Shake your hand high

Shout even louder

I’ll do it tomorrow’s tomorrow

Let’s go

Hit the big drum with a single shot

Clear the way

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

I’m gonna play with it all night

This is a trap, booby trap

I hear the sound of the trumpets

Let’s go, let’s go

Jihwaja***

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

Let’s go

The moon is nice

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

It’s time for verse 2

Banging, make it more exciting by hitting that drum

Row the oars to the beat of the drum

Follow the wind, the clouds and the moonlight

Let’s just flow

The moon is nice today

Stop on you way and wait for a moment, damn

I’l let you go in the count of 2,3

I’m floating dumchit dumchit dumchit ****

Dance as your body moves

Follow me I’m a kid-piper

I’m shining under the moonlight

There’s only one Earth gathered into a circle

Let’s shout together that the Earth is one

Nuilririya ongheya eolssu eolssu** (2 times)

Shake your hand high

Shout even louder

I’ll do it tomorrow’s tomorrow

Let’s go

Hit the big drum with a single shot

Clear the way

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

I’m gonna play with it all night

This is a trap, booby trap

I hear the sound of the trumpets

Let’s go, let’s go

Jihwaja***

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

Let’s go

The moon is nice

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

Eogieocha eolssu eolssu***** (4 times)

Eolssu

The fire is growing under the moonlight

Hands above the shoulders like we’re dancing Ganggang Sullae ******

The voices that getting louder gather over here

I’ll see you after these night ends

Let’s go

Hit the big drum with a single shot

Clear the way

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

I’m gonna play with it all night

This is a trap, booby trap

I hear the sound of the trumpets

Let’s go, let’s go

Jihwaja***

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

Let’s go

The moon is nice

I can hear the sound of the trumpets over there

*Jeon Woo Chi - was a Taoist scholar during the Joseon dynasty of Korea. He is known by many as the most prominent "sorcerer" in Korean history, and a representative trickster from old Korean literature.

**늴리리야 (nuilririya) - is one of well-known traditional folk songs, the word doesn’t have any particular meaning.

옹헤야 (ongheya) - Onghee Gyeongsanggi folk song. It was widely known as a 'barley threshing sound', which was called by the professional shouters when they threw barley threshing in Kyongsang area.

얼쑤 (ursoo / eolsoo) - ‘ursoo’ is from Korean traditional performance, Pansori. In Pansori, there are one main singer, and he/she acts all characters alone. And a single beat drum is usually its instrumental accompaniment, and we call those who plays the drum Gosu.
During the performance Gosu not only plays drum, but also exclaims some interjections. (Something similar with ‘Uh’ or ‘Aye’ etc. in hip-hop music) And ‘Ursoo’ is one of those.
So basically it has no specific meaning, and people say such thing when they are enjoying the music and getting into the rhythm.

***지화자 (jihwaja) - a shout to mark time in accompanying singing or dancing, corresponding to hand clapping.

****Ravn imitates drum sounds.

*****어기어차 (eogieocha) - some kind of korean chant, the word doesn’t have any particular meaning.

******강강수월래 (Ganggang Suwollae / Ganggang Sullae) - is an ancient Korean dance that was first used to bring about a bountiful harvest and has developed into a cultural symbol for Korea.
