No one, nowhere
바람소리만 요란했을뿐 기다리던 첫눈도 찬비도 오지 않았다
No one, Nowhere
Kim, Min-gi 1971
Beneath a dim streetlight
I was standing alone;
Someone approached
And asked with his eyes,
Are you looking for someone
Among those who pass by?
No, I answered,
No one to look for.
On a lonely country road
I was walking alone;
Someone approached
And asked with his eyes,
Is there a place down the road
To rest your tired body?
No, I answered,
Nowhere to go.
On a pier at sunset
I was standing alone;
Someone approached
And asked with his eyes,
Are you waiting for someone
Across the sea?
No, I answered,
No one to wait for.
(Kim Min-gi, p 409)
