＜On the way to school＞ 외로움 -윤동재 시인의 ＜학교 가는 길＞

[김문철]

On the way to school

By D.J. YOON

All my friends,

Leaving for the city one by one

Now I walk along the riverbank alone

The road to school

This morning

A magpie I found

Sitting on the top of a cottonwood

caw caw

I wonder if it is crying lonely

With no friends just feeling like me

caw caw

The magpie’s lonesome cry

Hearing by myself

Now I walk along the riverbank alone

The road to school

학교 가는 길

-윤동재

동무들 하나 둘 도시로 이사 가 버리고

강둑을 따라

이제는 혼자 걷는

학교 길

오늘 아침엔

미루나무 꼭대기

까치가 한 마리

까악까악

까치도 동무가 없어 울고 있는 걸까

까악까악

까치 울음을 나 혼자 들으며

강둑을 따라 걷는

학교 길

Appreciation Review  感想

What if your friends, who used to play together, have now left for the city one by one and you have to walk to school along the riverbank alone?

Then, how lonely it would be! How empty it would be!

That loneliness or emptiness comes to me so heavily and deeply.

Then, the poet catches a sound from somewhere: the sound of a magpie caw caw.

Now he wonders why the magpie is crying alone at the top of a cottonwood, wondering again if it is because it feels lonely with no friends, just like him?

As such, the magpie's cry becomes the poet’s soon.

And the poet thinks that it might be a cry coming from loneliness.

Maybe the magpie misses his old friends just as he does.

同病相憐

Misery loves company.

Fellow sufferers pity one another.

Grief is best pleased with grief’s company.

늘 같이 놀던 친구들이 하나 둘 도시로 다 떠나고
혼자 강둑을 따라 걸으며 학교에 가야 한다면
얼마나 외로울까요?
얼마나 허전할까요?
그 외로움과 허전함이 진하게 다가옵니다.
