Tears for the night sky.

june213 June 16th

커튼 틈 사이로 하늘을 힐끔 바라본다

Through the curtains I shot a lamenting gaze at the sky

눈에 달빛이 맺힌 밤이다

It was a night where the moonlight would well up in my eyes

이럴때면 밤하늘은 내게 말을 건넨다

On a night like this, the night sky would often call out to me

애야, 울지 마라

Don't cry, child

하늘에 별은 무한히 펼쳐져 있지만

For there are countless stars unfolding upon the sky

하찮은 별 하나가 떨어지면

But even if a single lonely star falls

밤하늘은 서럽도록 깜깜해진다

I would eternally weep over its dying light


그리고 가끔

And sometimes

아주 가끔

Very occasionally 

밤하늘은 내 눈에서 흐르는 달빛을 닦아준다

The night sky would silently wipe away the moonlight flowing from my eyes
