Vasko Popa (조영필 역)
작은 상자의 찬양자들
작은 상자를 노래하라
잠이 너를 이기게 하지 마라
온 세상이 네 안에 깨어있다
네 네모난 공허함 속에서
우리는 거리를 근접으로 바꾼다
망각을 기억으로
네 못이 느슨하지 않게 하라
네 열쇠 구멍을 통해
우리는 맨 처음 본다
세상을 넘어선 지역을
우리는 네 열쇠를 우리 입에서 돌린다
그리고 네 노래에서 나오는
문자와 숫자를 삼킨다
뚜껑이 날아가지 않게 하라
바닥이 빠지지 않게 하라
작은 상자를 노래하라
THE LITTLE BOX'S ADMIRERS
Sing little box
Don't let sleep get the better of you
The whole world is awake within you
In your four-square emptiness
We turn distance into closeness
Oblivion into memory
Don't let your nails go loose
Through your keyhole
We see for the very first time
Regions beyond the world
We turn your key in our mouths
And gulp down letters and numbers
From your song
Don't let your lid fly off
Don't let your bottom drop out
Sing little box
(Anne Pennington)
The Admirers of the Little Box
Sing little box
Don't let sleep overtake you
The world's awake in(within) you
In your square(four-sided) emptiness
We turn far into near (distance into nearness)
Forgetting(Forgetfulness) into memory
Don't let your nails come loose
For the very first time
We see the world (We watch sights beyond this world)
Through your keyhole
Your key we turn in our mouths (Turn your key in our mouths)
Swallow words and numbers
From the song you sing (Out of your song)
Don't let your lid fly open
Your bottom drop
Sing little box
(Charles Simic)
