이 풍진 세상을 만났으니
너의 희망이 무엇이냐
부귀와 영화를 누렸으면
희망이 족할까
푸른 하늘 밝은 달 아래 곰곰이 생각하니
세상만사가 춘몽 중에
또다시 꿈 같도다
이 풍진 세상을 만났으니
너의 희망이 무엇이냐
부귀와 영화를 누렸으면
희망이 족할까
담소화락에 엄벙덤벙
주색잡기에 침몰하랴
세상만사를 잊었으면
희망이 족할까
세상만사를 잊었으면
희망이 족할까
Upon encountering this world of trouble,
what of your hope?
If you enjoyed wealth and fame,
Would your hope be enough?
Under the bright moon in an azure sky,
Carefully wondering
Everything in this world amidst spring's spell,
seems again, like a dream.
Upon meeting this world of troubles,
what of your hope?
If you enjoyed wealth and glory,
will your hope be enough?
(Spring on East Mountain, seems like a dream
Even if I live a life of a hundred years, In the morning, it's shrounded in mist.) (Lee Son-hee version)*
Would you lose yourself In light banter and pleasantries
seek gratification in game, drink and sensuality?
If you immersed yourself in worldly things,
Would your hope be satisfied??
Upon encountering this world of trouble,
what of your hope?
If you enjoyed wealth and fame,
Would your hope be satisfied?

With some help, found this Namu.wiki entry below right away. I let chrome do the computer translation of the summary/overview below. I left what I consider at least one mistake in their translation; this rubella world (이 풍진 세상) doesn't seem appropriate:

In a word, it can be seen as a folk song of the time. The lyrics are also in the link above, and since it was a popular song in the 1930s, the lyrics of the song are also really dark.
