가는 길 (Departing Way)

- 김소월 Sowol Kim

그립다
말을 할까
하니 그리워 
No sooner was I about to say
“I miss you”,
Than I feel my crave for you. 

그냥 갈까
그래도
다시 더 한 번 
I was about to leave,
Without a word.
Yet, one more time.

저 산(山)에도 가마귀, 들에 가마귀
서산(西山)에는 해 진다고
지저귑다. 
Crows o’er mount’n and fields,
They croak for the sun is setting
To the western hill.

앞강(江)물 뒷강(江)물
흐르는 물은
어서 따라오라고 따라가자고
흘러도 연달아 흐릅디다려. 
Flowing water 
of the front, and hind river, 
Pushes me to follow close and to go right after. 
It streams without any pause, does it not?

Der Doppelganger

- Heinrich Heine 

Still ist die Nacht, es ruhen die Gassen,
In diesem Hause wohnte mein Schatz;
Sie hat schon längst die Stadt verlassen,
Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.

Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Höhe,
Und ringt die Hände, vor Schmerzensgewalt;
Mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe -
Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.

Du Doppelgänger! du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
Das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle,
So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?




The night is quiet, the streets are calm,
In this house my beloved once lived:
She has long since left the town,
But the house still stands, here in the same place.

A man stands there also and looks to the sky,
And wrings his hands overwhelmed by pain:
Upon seeing his face, I am terrified--
The moon shows me my own form!

O you Doppelgänger! you pale comrade!
Why do you ape the pain of my love
Which tormented me upon this spot
So many a night, so long ago? 

낙화

-이형기

가야할 때가 언제인가를 
분명히 알고 가는 이의 
뒷모습은 얼마나 아름다운가. 

봄 한철 
격정을 인내한 
나의 사랑은 지고 있다. 

분분한 낙화...... 
결별이 이룩하는 축복에 싸여 
지금은 가야 할 때, 

무성한 녹음과 그리고 
머지 않아 열매 맺는 
가을을 향하여 

나의 청춘은 꽃답게 죽는다. 

헤어지자 
섬세한 손길을 흔들며 
하롱하롱 꽃잎이 지는 어느 날 

나의 사랑, 나의 결별, 
샘터에 물 고이듯 성숙하는 
내 영혼의 슬픈 눈.

Bassuji
