This is my interpretation of the question and answer after seeing your explanation:
O: Do you like what you do and do you find your work easy?
A: I like what I do, but it is hard. Because I dislike easy things.
Perhaps "difficult" or "challenging" would be better word than "hard" in this case.
To me the word "heartplace" connotes a deep-seated sense of attachment to something. Depending on the context "heartplace" could mean a community (similar to the words heartland or homeland). Or it could refer to something more personal: the center of a person's emotional life and the things that give their life meaning. I hope that makes sense somehow. I'm not good at explaining this kind of thing.

I couldn't understand Ayu's english in "forgiveness" either. I posted what I believe to be the correct english lyrics here:
