풀색 전차-동시(한영)

풀색 전차/이일영

          

 

풀색 전차가

돈암동에서 을지로 4가 방향으로

탈탈 굴러간다

 

회화동 로터리를 지나

원남동 창경원 돌담너머

아기 원숭이랑

코끼리가 보고싶다

 

을지로 4가에서 내려

오장동 누님집

올망 졸망 조카들과 볼 비비고

누님 심부름 잽싸게 다녀와설랑

번개같이 용돈 챙긴다

 

책방으로 달려가

탁탁 털어 학원* 사들고

책내음 맡으며

첫 페이지부터 읽기 시작하는

내 유년을 싣고

풀색 전차가 쌩쌩 달린다

A Grass Colored Street Car* 

 

 

A grass-colored street car was running, making clamor

From Don-am station to Eulji Ro 4th St.

 

When passing nearby the walls of rocks of

Changgyung Zoo next to Rotary of Hoiwha-Dong,

I wanted to see the baby monkey and the elephant.

 

After getting down to Eulji Ro 4th St.,

I visited my elder sister's home at Ojang Dong.

I hugged and kissed my three nieces and one nephew

Turn by turn and went on an errand quickly for my sister.

 

Upon receiving some pocket money from her,

I ran to the book store and spent most of 

That money to buy Hak-Won**.

 

Beginning to read the first page of that magazine to the end,

I enjoyed smelling the newly printed pages

In that grass-colored streetcar

Which was carrying my boyhood fast in high spirits.
