가야금
성 명 순
떨리는
열두 줄 위
흰 나비 떼로 날아
나비가 내려앉은
풀밭 위로 꽃이 피고
번지는 무지갯빛 향기
무심히 튕기는
열두 줄에 배인
굽이굽이 애절한 사연이야
사는 게 슬픈 것만은 아니라고
슬픈 게 아픈 것만은 아니라고
아린 가슴 쓰다듬으며
날아가는 나비의 날갯짓
마침내 떨리는 하늘
소리가 나비가 되어
날아가는
Gayageum
Into the sunset
as a flock of butterflies
along with the twelve vibrating strings
Flowers blossom on top of the grass
where the butterflies have sat down
Oh how the scent of rainbow spreads
Hear the stories of sorrow
from the twelve strings
that has been flickered off of a song
Life is not all about grief
Grief is not all about hurts
The fluttering of a butterfly
as it carries love to a sore heart
By the time sky wakes up
Sounds become butterflies
as they fly off to the sky
