If I Were a Flower (내가만일 꽃이라면)

by Glory Byoen

If I Were a Flower  

If I had been the wind that day,

 Soaring over mountains and fields,

 Across the sea to where You dwelled,

 Like a butterfly, I would have flown,

And clung to Your weary steps,

Pleading through tears, "Please don't go,"

I would have held on tight.

 If I had been that day,

 A wandering cloud with no home,

 Under the scorching sun,

I would have poured down

A refreshing shower

For those burning with thirst.

 Today I long to be a single flower,

Following the wind and clouds,

Over mountains and across waters,

 Carrying a fragrance so sweet,

 For those who hide and weep in pain,

 I want to share the love You left behind.

 Following the wind and clouds,

Over mountains and across waters,

Carrying a fragrance so sweet,

For those who hide and weep in pain,

 I want to share the love You left behind,

I want to share the love You left behind.

내가 꽃이라면

내가 그날 바람이었다면, 산과 들판 위로 솟아오르며, 바다를 건너 당신이 거하시는 곳까지, 나비처럼 나는 날아갔을 것이다. 당신의 지친 발걸음에 매달리시고, 눈물을 흘리며 애원하며 "제발 가지 마세요." 꽉 붙잡았을 것입니다.

내가 그날이었다면, 집이 없는 떠돌이 구름, 작열하는 태양 아래, 나는 쏟아 부었을 것이다 상쾌한 샤워 갈증으로 타는 사람들을 위해.

오늘 나는 한 송이의 꽃이 되기를 갈망한다. 바람과 구름을 따라 산을 넘어 물을 건너, 그토록 달콤한 향기를 전하고, 고통 속에 숨어 우는 이들이여, 당신이 남기신 사랑을 나누고 싶습니다.
