Vasko Popa (조영필 역)
작은 상자의 희생자들
너는 명심해라
작은 상자와 함께로는 할 일이 없다는 것을
잠든 사이에도
네가 그녀가 별로 가득한 것을 보았다면
너는 깨어날 것이다
빈 가슴으로 심장도 영혼도 없이
네가 네 혀를 내밀었다면
그녀의 열쇠 구멍에
너는 네 이마에 구멍이 가득한 채 깨어날 것이다
네가 그녀를 씹었다면
네 이빨 사이에서
너는 네모난 머리로 깨어날 것이다
네가 그녀가 비어 있는 것을 본 적이 있다면
너는 깨어날 것이다
배에 못과 생쥐가 가득한 채
네가 작은 상자와 관련된 어떤 것이 있으면
네 꿈에서
너는 전혀 깨어나지 않는 것이 좋을 것이다
THE LITTLE BOX'S VICTIMS
Mind you have nothing to do
With the little box
Even in your sleep
If you've seen her full of stars
You'll wake up
With an empty chest no heart no soul
If you've stuck your tongue
Up her keyhole
You'll wake up with your forehead full of holes
If you've crunched her
Between your teeth
You'll wake up with a square head
If you've seen her empty
You'll wake up
With a belly full of nails and mice
If you've had anything to do with the little box
In your dreams
You're better not waking up at all
(Anne Pennington)
The Victims of the Little Box
Not even in a dream
Should you have anything to do
With the little box
If you saw her full of stars once
You are bound to wake up (You'd wake up)
Without a heart or a soul (Without heart or soul in your chest)
If you slid your tongue
Into her keyhole once
You'll (You'd) wake up with a hole in your forehead
If you ground her to bits once
Between your teeth
You'll wake up (You'd get up) with a square head
If you ever saw her empty
You'd wake up
With a belly full of mice and nails
If in a dream you had anything to do
With the little box
You'd be better off never waking up again
(Charles Simic)
