＜Sandpit＞ FOURTEEN - 윤동재 시인의 ＜모래밭＞

[김문철]

Sandpit

by D. J. Yoon

I love the sandpit by the river in our village

After school

I go to the sandpit by the river

And play alone until the sun sets.

After walking around the sandpit

I spread out on the sandpit

And stare blankly at my footprints in the sand.

Then, I find the footprints in the sandpit

Not just mine

But those of my friends

Seem to be mixed together.

I can almost hear my footprints

And my friend's footprints

Whispering sweetly to each other.

Perhaps that's why

I, more than anything

eosigi love the sandpit by the river in our village

moozee-moozee love the sandpit by the river in our village

*eosigi : dialect of 'very' (Gyongbuk)

모래밭

-윤동재

나는 우리 마을 강가 모래밭이 좋아요

학교 갔다 오면

강가 모래밭에 가서

날이 저물도록 나 혼자 놀지요

모래밭을 이리저리 걷다가

모래밭에 퍼질러 앉아

모래밭에 찍힌 내 발자국을

한참 물끄러미 바라보지요

그러면 모래밭에 찍힌 발자국

내 발자국만 아니고

내 동무의 발자국도

다문다문 섞여 있는 것 같아요

내 발자국과 내 동무의 발자국이

서로 정답게

소곤소곤 이야기를 나누는 게

내 귀에 들리는 것 같아요

그래서일까

나는 무엇보다도

우리 마을 강가 모래밭이 어시기 좋아요

우리 마을 강가 모래밭이 무지무지 좋지요

Appreciation Review 感想

Sandpit is a warm and gentle poem that shows how a simple place can feel special to a child.

The poem uses easy words and clear images to help readers imagine the sandpit by the river and the quiet time spent there after school.

When the child sees their own footprints mixed with their friends’, the poem reminds us that friendship can be felt even when we play alone.

The soft, peaceful tone makes the sandpit seem safe and full of happy memories.

Overall, Sandpit is a sweet and comforting poem that children can easily understand and enjoy.

'모래밭'은 어린 아이의 눈으로 본 작은 공간 하나가 얼마나 특별하게 느껴질 수 있는지를 잘 보여줍니다. ^_^
