Birds and the Moon Land
By D.J. YOON
I
Free are birds
Free from the haves
Free from everything
That's why birds are flying in the blue sky
Whether it’s mine or yours
It doesn’t matter for birds
Look at the birds
They eat as much as they need
They sleep as long as they need
Right standing on their two feet
Why birds can fly in the blue sky
Not because they have wings
But because they are not greedy
Birds are free from everything
Without greed
Birds fly high and high
Birds fly far and wide
Free from everything there is
II
Come on, kids, let's get together and go to the Moon Land
Treading on the clouds with bare feet
Crossing the Mirinae
Hurry, hurry, let's go to the moon
Kids, tonight
Let's go to the Moon Land
Eating all the rice cakes made by the jade rabbit
Under the cinnamon tree
The jade rabbit on the Moon Land
Diligently pounding rice cakes!
Eating all the rice cakes made by the jade rabbit
Let’s run to the far end of the Moon Land
Let's run to the far end of the Moon Land
새
-윤동재
새들은 자유롭다
가진 것에서 자유롭다
모든 것에서 자유롭다
그 때문에 푸른 하늘을 날 수 있다
새들은 내 것 네 것이 없다
새들을 보라
먹을 때도 먹을 만큼 먹고
잠잘 때도 두 발만 디딜 수 있으면 된다
새들이 푸른 하늘을 날 수 있는 것은
날개가 있기 때문이 아니다
욕심이 없기 때문이다
모든 것에서 자유롭기 때문이다
욕심이 없는 새는
높이높이 난다
모든 것에서 자유로운 새는
멀리멀리 난다
달나라 가자
-윤동재
얘들아 모두 모여 달나라 가자
맨발로 구름을 밟고
미리내를 건너서
어서어서 달나라 가자
얘들아 오늘 밤은
달나라 가서
옥토끼가 만든 떡을
실컷 먹자
계수나무 아래
달나라 옥토끼가
부지런히
떡방아를 찧고 있구나!
옥토끼가 만든 떡을
실컷 먹고
달나라 끝까지 달려 보자
달나라 끝까지 달려 보자
Appreciation Review 感想
This poetry for children presents a whimsical journey through nature and imagination, offering a blend of reflective and fantastical themes.
The first poem gently explores the concept of freedom through the lens of birds, using simple yet evocative language to illustrate how their lack of greed enables their boundless flight.
The repetition of "Fly high and high" and "Fly far and wide" reinforces the sense of limitless freedom and joy.
The second poem invites children on an enchanting lunar adventure, where they tread on clouds and feast on mooncakes made by the jade rabbit.
Its playful rhythm and vivid imagery spark the imagination, creating a sense of wonder and excitement about the possibilities of the moon.
Both poems succeed in engaging young readers with their straightforward yet captivating depictions of freedom and fantasy.
