가는길

On the Way

​

그립다

I yearn for you

말을 할까

Should I speak to you

하니 그리워.
I do not know

​

그냥 갈까

Should I just leave

그래도

But,

다시 더 한번.......

Again, once more

​

저 산에도 까마귀, 들에 까마귀
Crows from the mountain and from the field

서산에는 해 진다고

As the sun fades away

지저귑니다.

They call

​

앞강물 뒷강물

River from both ways

흐르는 물은

is flowing,

어서 따라오라고 따라가자고

tells me to follow

흘러도 연달라 흐릅디다려

flowing incessantly
