우리나라 노래말로도 너무 슬프게 번안되어 부른 곡
어린 아이의 감성을 키우기겐 슬픔이란 것이 도움이 되겠지만
번안은 해석과 다르게 그저 감성만을 옮겨 놓은 것일 뿐
In a cavern, in a canyon
깊은 계곡에서
Excavating for a mine
(금)광을 찾던
Lived miner forty-niner
49살 광부
And his daughter clementine.
그의 딸 클레멘타인이 살고 있었지요
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Ho, my darling Clementine
내 사랑, 내 사랑 클레멘타인
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
너를 잃고 영원히 떠났구나 너무 미안해 클레멘타인
Light she was and like a fairy
언제나 요정같이 해맑고
And her shoes were number nine
9호 신발을 신고
Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine
좋지는 않지만 청어상자로 만든 샌들이었지요
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry,Clementine
Drove her ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine
매일 아침 9시 오리를 몰고 물가로 갔는데
Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine
나무에 발이 걸려 물에 빠져버렸지요
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh,my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine But alas,
루비처럼 붉은 입술로 물에 떠올라 물을 토해냈지만
I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine
난 수영할 줄 몰라 클레멘타인을 잃었지요
Oh,my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry,Clementine
Then the miner, forty-niner Soon began to peak and pine
그 49살의 광부는 점점 야위어 갔지요
Thought he oughta join his daughter Now he s with his Clementine
딸과 함께 있어야 한다며 지금 클레멘타인과 함께 있지여
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry,Clementine
There's churchyard on the hillside
언덕 위 교회 묘지가 있었지요
where the flowers grow and twine
꽃들이 무성하게 자라던
There grow roses amongst the pisies
게중에 장미가 가장 잘 자랐는데
fertilized by Clementine
클레멘타인 덕분이었죠
In my dreams she still doth haunt me Robed in garlands soaked in brine
아직 그 애는 꿈속에 물에 젖은 모습으로 나타나곤 하지요
Though in life I used to hug her Now she s dead, I draw the line
살아있을 때는 안아주곤 했찌만 이젠 끝을 내야겠어요
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
How I missed her, How I missed her I missed Clementine
내가 얼마나 그녀를 그리워 하는지
so I kissed littel sister And forgot Clementine
그래서 여동생에게 입맞추고 그녀를 잊지요
