꽃을 꺽지 마세요
나는 예쁜 꽃이예요.
나를 눈으로 보고
향기만 마트세요.
나를
꺽고
따고
부서트리지 마세요.
뒤에 따라오는
아이들도
처녀도
총각도
할머니도
할아버지도 보게 하세요
나를 꺽어 가면 당신 외
다른 사람들은
나를
더 이상 볼 수 없지요.
나는
대궐 집 안방에 가는 것도 싫어요
잉금님이나 왕 생일 잔치 날에 가는 것도 싫어요
대통령 당선 축하 파티에 가는 것도 싫어요
산, 들, 정원에 피어
곤충 나비 벌을 보면서 그냥 피어 잇고 싶어요
새, 들 짐승을 맞나 보고싶고
지나가는 모든 나그네들에게
나 이쁘지요 하면서 자랑하고 싶어요
나는 여기 있을 때가 더 좋아요
Don’t pick the flowers.
Don’t pick the flowers.
I am a pretty flower.
Just look at me in your eye
Just buy the scent.
Do not Bend it
Do not Picking
Don’t break it.
After you,
Children too,
Virgin too,
Bachelor,
Grandma too,
Let Grandpa see me, too
If you break me and pickup me,
Other people can’t see me anymore.
I am very good as it is,
I don’t even like going to the main room of the palace.
I don’t like going to the King’s birthday party either.
I don’t even want to go to a party to celebrate the president’s election.
I like to bloom in the mountains, fields, and gardens
I want to see butterflies and bees.
I want to see a bird or a wild animal.
To all the travelers passing by
I want to show off
I like it better when I’m here as it is
