여름날을 그대와 견줄 수 있을까요?

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18)

                                                                                                                William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,

Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.

    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,

    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

여름날을 그대와 견줄 수 있을까요? (소넽 18)

                                                                                        번역 : 하나나루

여름날을 그대와 견줄 수 있을까요?

그대가 보다 아름답고 보다 온화합니다.

거친 바람이 귀여운 5월의 꽃망울을 흔들죠.

게다가 여름철의 날들은 너무나 짧습니다.

때때로 천국의 눈은 아주 뜨겁게 빛나고

종종 그의 금빛 안색은 어두집니다;

아름다움의 모든 부분은 시들고,

우연으로든 자연의 섭리대로든 단정한 모습을 잃어갑니다;

그러나 그대의 영원한 여름날은 바래지 않을 겁니다.

그대가 지닌 아름다움을 잃지 않을 것이며,

죽음조차 그의 그늘에서 그대가 방황했다고 자랑하지 못 할 겁니다,

그대가 불후의 시에 깃든다면.

인간이 숨을 쉬고 눈으로 볼 수 있는 한,

그대에게 영원히 생명을 불어넣어 줄 겁니다, 이 시가 계속 되는 한.
