The subject of my own poem to post today is a water lily taken in a pond in a park in late September. I believe you'll see why I wrote this poem when you look at this picture.

Waiting for winter..

[Self-written poem] Waiting for winter..

First, I write and edit poems in Korean and then transfer them to English. If you think the meaning of the poem is not well conveyed because I am not good at translating into English, please contact me immediately.

겨울을 기다리며..

 

차디차고 살기 넘치도록 아름다운

눈의 폭풍을 기억하네

푸르른 온기가 대지에 잠들고

식어버린 호수의 잔잔한 물결을 기억하네

 

서슬퍼런 서리 여기에 내리면

서서히 웃음기 사라지고

내어줄 것도 없는 초라한 빈 주머니만

만지작 만지작 거리고 있네

 

삶의 반을 이별해야 하는

늦은 아침의 햇살에게

아쉬움에 긴 말들을 늘어놓고

두팔을 끌어안아 가슴에 모으고

아주 길고 긴 잠을 준비하네

This time, I wrote down a poem after seeing a picture of a cosmos swaying in the wind.

The morning of this day I could see the sun slowly shining, and the wind was not very strong, not very small, but moderate.
At the same time, I discovered a fantastic and clear cosmos and captured it on a camera with the wind.
I took pictures and edited them, and the flowers in this picture looked very peaceful and uncomfortable.
I wrote this feeling in a poem.

In the wind that tickled my earlobes..

In the wind that tickled my earlobes..

A night of sobbing, sobbing, falling asleep exhausted

The traces of tears shed in the deep darkness

The green wind washed it away

And then the wind whirls around me like it's about to touch me

Raising me up with a cold in my heart

Lead me with light, one step at a time

There, there

Pat me on the drooping shoulder

There, there

pat me on the head


In the wind that tickles my earlobes

I'm alive

귓볼을 간지럽히는 바람안에서..

흐느끼고 흐느끼다 지쳐 잠든 밤

짙은 어둠 속에서 흘린 눈물 흔적들을

초록빛 바람이 솔솔 씻어주었네

그리고는 닿을듯 말듯 주위를 휘돌아

마음 감기 걸린 나를 일으켜주네

한발한발 빛으로 인도하며

토닥토닥

축쳐진 어깨를 두드리네

토닥토닥

슬며시 머리를 쓰다듬네

귓볼을 간지럽히는 바람안에서

나는 살아있네

귓볼을 간지럽히는 바람안에서..

I'm going to try something new starting today.

I have been transcribing various poems since a long time ago. As I practiced pen writing, my interest in poetry increased a lot. I started practicing both Korean and English transcription at the same time. So interest in English poetry also increased. Too long writing was a bit of a burden, so I transcribed relatively short poems. Of course, I liked reading and appreciating poems before then.

Light drops.. / Experiment04

Light drops..

To see you on this green day
I wake up in the middle of
that common morning
I must have gone a long way

Calm down the tears of dawn
Trying to dress up in a hurry
Waiting for the dawn of time alone
I'm going with a drop of light up
From you, tiny little one

Light drops..

This picture was taken on a bright morning in early October this year. The dew was beautifully set in the background and the sun was shining warmly.
​
I think it's right to solve your problems a little further away. I'll continue to post this and that. Then I hope you have a good day. 🙏

There is a song that has been increasing in popularity recently. It's a song released by ROSÉ, a member of the famous girl group BLACKPINK in Korea. It's composed of very exciting and exciting rhythms, which makes me feel good every time I listen to it. Especially, it's becoming more famous because it's sung with the famous singer, Bruno Mars. The song is gaining popularity as it debuted at No. 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Then, what does the apartment in this song mean in Korea?

Apartments in Korea are called Condominiums in the United States, Flat in the United Kingdom, マンション in Japan, and 公寓大楼 in China.

The picture taken while looking out from the inside of an apartment in Korea looks like this. 

When you enter an apartment complex in Korea, you can see a small park inside it. These days, many small footpaths have been built and decorated to make it easier to take a walk. And parking lots have been installed underground to make it easier to walk or ride a bicycle on the ground. Of course, not all apartments are like that, but most apartments built today follow this trend. And there are many apartments that have small libraries, gyms, and table tennis courts for residents to use, and there are also apartments that run swimming pools.

In Korea, apartments are property that the majority want to own. You can easily see apartments in any city or countryside in Korea. They are easy to find even in the smallest countryside. 

Why do Koreans prefer apartments?
In Korea, a country with a relatively small land, apartments are an efficient residential form. In addition, the living room is highly utilized because it accommodates the structure of hanok. In addition, apartments are popular as a means of increasing property because they can be traded in one house and are good for buying and selling.

Although all apartments have slightly  different structures, they are generally the interior structure of the apartment that is popular these days.

Today is a day to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the singer Shin Hae-cheol in Korea.
I've been singing along to his music ever since his debut. I was so deeply saddened when he suddenly passed away.
It's already been 10 years, but I remember that time vividly.

So today, I transcribed this song, which is my favorite of his songs.

우리 앞에 생이 끝나갈 때

When our life before us comes to an end

In that classroom where white stars shone 

through the blurry window,

I remember 

the blue dreams of my boyhood,

In my changing self, 

gradually resembling the changing world,

Sometimes disappointed, 

Sometimes making excuses,

What have we come to this world to find?

To find that answer, we walk alone.

As time flows and our lives come to an end,

If someone asks you with a small voice,

Can you answer that there's no regret in the past time, 

my dear?

When our life before us comes to an end

우리 앞에 생이 끝나갈 때

흐린 창문 사이로 하얗게 별이 뜨던 그 교실

나는 기억해요 내 소년시절에 파랗던 꿈을

세상이 변해갈 때 같이 닮아가는 내 모습에

때론 실망하며 때로는 변명도 해보았지만

흐르는 시간 속에서 질문은 지워지지 않네

우린 그 무엇을 찾아 이 세상에 왔을까

그 대답을 찾기위해 우리는 홀로 걸어가네

세월이 흘러가고 우리 앞에 생이 끝나갈 때

누군가 그대에게 작은 목소리로 물어보면

대답할 수 있나 지나간 세월에 후횐 없노라고

그대여...

우리 앞에 생이 끝나갈 때

The reason why his songs are loved is not simply because the melody is good and the lyrics are simple. He has done a lot of experimental music and wrote philosophical, straightforward and beautiful lyrics.
He has made songs that touch people's hearts.

So I think there is a reason why his songs are still loved a lot. I think his song was probably a cure for my mind.

When our life before us comes to an end

Today, I transcribed a song that is very beautiful and has an autumn vibe.

오늘 노을이 예뻐서  HYNN

 

평범한 하룰 보내고

조금 지친 걸음으로 혼자 걷고 있는 길

빌딩 숲 사이 하늘이

분홍빛에 물들어갈 때면 기억의 창이 열려

그날의 바람과 공기

그날의 떨림과 온기

기억은 선명히 되살아나고

그때로 난 돌아가

처음으로 한 사람을 아플 만큼 아꼈어

나의 일부처럼

모든 것을 다 주고도 부족한 것 같아

아쉬움에 밤새 잠들지 못했던 너와 나

박혜원의 [오늘도 노을이 예뻐서]

Let's watch the music video first and upload my transcription video.

오늘 노을이 예뻐서

I transcribed the English lyrics in this music video. I expect the meaning and beauty of the lyrics to be conveyed well in English, but I am not sure if it will work out.

Sunset Song    HYNN

 

After Spending an ordinary day

I'm plodding alone on this street

Between the building forests

When the sky is colored in pink

The window of my memory opens

The wind and the air of the day

The thrill and the warmth of the day

the memory is vividly brought back

I go back to the time

For the first time I cherished

one person to feel painful

As if it was part of me

It didn't feel enough even

after giving everything of me

You and I couldn't sleep all night

with lingering regrets

'Sunset Song' By HYNN
