A Poem translated by Mr. ENARO(함민복님의 몸이 많이 아픈 밤)

 

몸이 많이 아픈 밤                        함 민 복        하늘에 신세 많이 지고 살았습니다    푸른 바다는 상한 눈동자 쾌히 담가주었습니다    산이 늘 정신을 기대어주었습니다    태양은 낙타가 되어 몸을 옮겨주었습니다    흙은 갖은 음식을 차려주었습니다    바람은 귓속 산에 나무를 심어주었습니다    달은 늘 가슴에 어미 피를 순환시켜 주었습니다.             At night a poet is terribly sick                      Ham Min-bog  Thanks to the heaven even with my thin legs I have been able to stand on this earth Thanks to the blue sea even with my faint pupils I have been able to stare at this terrible world Thanks to the mountain even with my poor spirit I have been able to bear the holy ideal in my heart Thanks to the sun which is always like a camel to me I have been able to cross the desolate desert on it       Thanks to the soil which is always the goddess of life to me I have been able to grow up without distortion Thanks to the wind which always gives trees to my ears I have been able to take a rest under them Thanks to the moon which is always like a mother to me I have been able to purify the black blood in my life.                                   2004. 11. 29.             written by Mr. ENARO
