Lyric and meaning of Heunboga (Hwa Cho Jang portion)
Nolbu is so much jealous to hear that his poor brother becomes much richer. He decides
to go to Heungbo’s house to check by himself;
“Nolbu goes to Heungbo’s house. Naughty and greedy, and wicked Nolbu
goes to the house. When he arrives and see the house, he find all the rumors are true. He is
shouting “You, Heungbo, come out”
Heungbo comes out surprising to hear his brother’s voice. “How did you come here
without notice. I should have invited you earlier”, crying he said. Nolbu replied, “I don’t think
you are the person who comes first. Whose house is this?” “This is mine”. “Is this really yours,
not the rent? Ok, if this is yours, then let’s go in”. Sitting in the living room, Nolbu says “I have
something to tell you”
“ I lately over heard that you and yours sons are busy at night to steal the
goods. Is this true?” “No way, brother. How could I do that kind of sins which parents did not
teach?” “ Shut up. Then how could you become this rich with this house and all the stuffs you
have? I also heard that all police are on the way to catch you. So you just run away with your
family right away with all the stuffs leaving to me for about ten years. And you stay there until I
give you the sign to come back.”
If I take any advantage from your stuffs while you are out for ten years or even hundred
years, I would be your son. Heungbo explained all the swallow stories. …..
“Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, I got one
Hwa Cho Jang. I got it for free. A Successful business man can get this precious gain on his just
one trip. Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa Cho Jang, Hwa
