어머니 - 이해인 / Mother of mine

 

   

 

 

 

 

어머니 

 

 

     / 이해인

 

 

당신의 이름에선
색색의 웃음 칠한 시골집 안마당의
분꽃 향기가 난다

안으로 주름진 한숨의 세월에도
바다가 넘실대는  남빛 치마폭 사랑

남루한 옷을 겇친 나의 오늘이
그 안에 누워 있다

기워 주신 꽃골무 속에
소복히 담겨 있는 유년(幼年)의 추억

당신의 가리마 같이
한 갈래로 난 길을 똑바로 걸어가면

나의 연두 갑사 저고리에
끝동을 다는 다사로운 손길

까만 씨알 품은 

어머니의 향기가  바람에 흩어진다  

 

 

 

 

  

Mother of mine!                                                        
You gave to me all of my life to do as I please.            
I owe everything I have to you.                                   
Mother, sweet mother of mine!                                     
 Mother of mine!                                                      
 When I was young, you showed me the right way        

things should be done.                                             
Without your love, where would I be?                          
Mother, sweet mother of mine.                               
Mother, you gave me happiness                                  
much more than words can say.                               
I pray the Lord                                                    
that He may bless you every night and every day.       
Mother of mine!                                                  
Now I am grown. And I can walk straight all on my own.  

 I'd like to give you what you gave to me.                        
Mother, sweet mother of mine
