Welcome, welcome
Sit down, sit down
Just tell me what you need
(It can all be done)
A house to marry your daughter into, a post for your son
Who's selling land, who's buying — I know them all
I have no stall in the middle of the market
But not one shop in that market opens without me
Take this hand, take that hand
When the two shake, I stand in the middle
Call the price high, write the sum low
Where does the difference go? Into my sleeve
Nobles and commoners both smile at me
They don't remember my face but they trust my word
What was my name again? Does it matter
As long as the deal gets done — and today it got done
One word is enough — (enough)
One seal is enough — (enough)
Who profits? Both of them did
And in between — I took a little too
Don't worry, it can all be done
Pay later, it can all be done
(the broker — the broker)
Today's customer has plenty of money
Says he wants to buy a tiled house
Under Namsan, wide yard, well close by
There is such a house — I know it very well
Bring out the seal, let's write the deed
Who's the owner? I'll take care of that
There were some debts, years of them overdue
The owner has to give up the house — by today
I lift the brush and write the owner's name
My hand doesn't shake, writing my own name
The customer is pleased, says the price is low
I smile too — I still have to collect my fee
A house, I can buy again
But the fee I have to take now
(this way, please)
One word is enough — (enough)
One seal is enough — (enough)
Who profits? Both of them did
And in between — I took a little too
Don't worry, it can all be done
Pay later, it can all be done
(the broker — the broker)
Tonight I'll sleep at the tavern
Tomorrow, who else will be selling a house
(It can all be done)
