당신은 무슨 일로 그리합니까

What are you doing that for?

홀로이 개여울에 주저앉아서

Sitting alone in the shallows

파릇한 풀 포기가 돋아 나오고

Green grass is sprouting up

잔물이 봄바람에 헤적일 때에

When the still water wanders in the spring breeze

가도 아주 가지는 않노라시던

He said he wouldn't go even if he went

그런 약속이 있었겠지요

There must have been such a promise.

날마다 개여울에 나와 앉아서

Every day, I come out to the stream and sit down.

하염없이 무엇을 생각합니다

What do you think about endlessly?

가도 아주 가지는 않노라심은

Even if I go, I won't go anywhere.

굳이 잊지 말라는 부탁인지요

Is it really necessary to ask you not to forget?

가도 아주 가지는 않노라시던

He said he wouldn't go even if he went

그런 약속이 있었겠지요

There must have been such a promise.

날마다 개여울에 나와 앉아서

Every day, I come out to the stream and sit down.

하염없이 무엇을 생각합니다

What do you think about endlessly?

가도 아주 가지는 않노라심은

Even if I go, I won't go anywhere.

굳이 잊지 말라는 부탁인지요

Is it really necessary to ask you not to forget?

당신은 무슨 일로 그리합니까

What are you doing that for?
