A Long Time From Now, Someday      

A long time from now, someday, should you look for me,
my words, then will be, “I have forgotten.”

Should you reproach me inside your heart,
I will say, after much longing, “I have forgotten.”

Should you still reproach me even then,
I will say, not able to believe in you, “I have forgotten.”

Not today nor yesterday have I forgotten;
a long time from now, someday, “I will have forgotten.”

 

먼   후   일

먼 훗날 당신이 찾으시면
그때에 내  말이 <잊었노라

당신이 속으로 나무라면
무척 그리다가 잊었노라

그래도 당신이 나무라면
믿기지 않아서 잊었노라

오늘도 어제도 아니 잊고
먼 훗날 그때에 <잊었노라
