조니 미첼 (Joni Michell) / Both Sides Now
삶이라는 것이 대체 뭔지
도무지 알 수 없을 때,
앞만 보고 열심히 달려왔는데
얻은 것만큼이나 결국은
잃은 것들이 한가득임을
뒤늦게 깨닫게 되었을 때,
인생이라는 것은 정말이지
수많은 착각과 환상과
허무만으로 가득한 것임을,
결국은 아무것도 아니었음을
뒤늦게 이제야 깨닫게 되었을 때,
그럴 때, 듣게 되는 음악.
먹먹해진 가슴을 꾹 누르며.
Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

Both Sides, Now (1969) /조니 미첼 (Joni Michell, 1943~)
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions that I recall
I really don't know love
Really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say, "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions that I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
