Vasko Popa (조영필 역)
사냥꾼
누군가 노크하지 않고 들어간다
누군가의 한 귀에 들어간다
그리고 다른 귀에서 나온다
성냥의 걸음으로 들어간다
불 켜진 성냥의 걸음
그의 머리 속에서 둥글게 춤춘다
그는 해냈다
누군가 노크하지 않고 들어간다
누군가의 한 귀에 들어간다
그리고 다른 귀에서 나오지 않는다.
그는 끝났다
The hunter
Someone goes in without knocking
Goes into somebody's one ear
And comes out of the other
Goes in with the step of a match
The step of a lighted match
Dances round inside his head
He's made it
Someone goes in without knocking
Goes into somebody's one ear
And doesn't come out of the other
He's done for
(Vasko Popa Selected Poems, translated by Anne Pennington, Penguin Books, 1969)
Hunter
Someone enters without knocking
Enters into someone's ear
And comes out through the other
Comes with the step of a matchstick
With the step of a lit matchstick
Circles the head inside
He's on top
Someone enters without knocking
Enters into someone's ear
And doesn't come out through the other
He's roasted
(Homage to the lame wolf, translated by Charles Simic, Oberlin College Press, 1987)
