English Translation - Magpie's New year's day
Magpie’s New year’s day was yesterday,
Our Happy New year’s day is today.
Greatly beautiful hair pin is mine,
Also new shoes that I bought yesterday are mine.
My older sister’s cloth’s color is yellow.
My younger sister’s cloth’s color is rainbow colored.
My father and mommy are so blessed
They like our new year’s bowing.
We have the Korean seesaw in the backyard.
Also we can crack pine nuts and walnuts.
I took the Korean Seesaw with my sister.
I am happy, so happy, I feel really happy!
My strict dad became compliant,
also my sister no more crying
We play Korean Traditional game over the town
I love New year’s day. I really love it!

Korean - 까치까치 설날 송
까치 까치 설날은 어저께고요
우리 우리 설날은 오늘이래요
곱고 고운 댕기도 내가 들이고
새로 사온 신발도 내가 신어요
우리 언니 저고리 노랑 저고리
우리 동생 저고리 색동 저고리
아버지와 어머니 호사하시고
우리들의 절받기 좋아하셔요
우리집 뒤뜰에는 널을 놓고서
상 들이고 잣 까고 호두 까면서
언니하고 정답게 널을 뛰고
나는 나는 좋아요 참말 좋아요
무서웠던 아버지 순해지시고
우리 우리 내 동생 울지 않아요
이 집 저 집 윷놀이 널뛰는 소리
나는 나는 설날이 참말 좋아요
