너무 무서워
매일매일 더 무섭게 되어
난 속으로에 한 걸음도 걸어가길 두렵게 되는 어둠
심장이 고동치길 들을 수 있는 병동의 침묵
'오늘 컨디션이 어떠세요?'
'복용량을 늘려야 할 것 같네요'
그말 들을때마다 차츰 세상이 잊혀져
겁이 목을 졸려, 내 정신이 미쳐
근데 그래도 더 많은 겁과 아픔 참시는 나의 엄마
날 언제보다 더 많이 필요하시는 줄 알아서 걱정마
엄마의 곁에 지금 있을 테니까
엄마, don't cry, please
엄마, don't hide your fears
엄마, 엄마, 엄마,
Don't cry for you and me
엄마, 나의 곁에 계셨는데 always
지금 엄마,
난 네 곁에 있을께 언제나
어렸을때 가끔 잠들기까지 엄마의 눈썹을 스다듬은 기억들
머리카락도 빠지기 시작돼도 엄마의 얼굴 여전히 예쁠 보기는
언제든지 겁 나면 엄마의 품속 속에서 위로 받은 때 있었죠
지금 두려움이 맘을 비틀 때 언제든지
나의 손을 단단히 잡아줘요
다시 함께 바닷가에 가고 싶어요 엄마
옛날처럼 생각 없이 웃고 싶어요 정말
부모님의 역할을 담당하셔서 영원한 감사를
대체 어떻게 표할지 전혀 몰라서 이 세상에
이 순간따라 시간이 부족할까봐 무서워
수많은 할 말이 있는 이 순간 막
근데 그래도 부당한 어려움을 맞서셨던 엄마
지금 나 의지하실 수 있어 이건 내 약속
어릴때 항상 엄마 의지하곤 한 것 처럼
힘을 합친다면 도욱 강해지겠어 우리가
걱정하시지 않게 나 죽도록 무서울지라도 한마디도 안하려고
엄마, 엄마, don't cry
엄마, 엄마, don't die
아이처럼 아직도 너의 손을 놓을 수가 없잖아

I'm so scared.
It gets scarier with every passing day.
This gloom, I'm afraid to walk another step in;
Silence of the ward, where I can hear my heart pounding.
"How are you feeling today?"
"I think I need to increase my dosage."
Every time I hear that, I forget about the world,
Fear chokes me, I'm going crazy.
But my mother, who bears with more fear and pain,
I know you need me now more than ever, so don't you worry,
I'll be by your side right now.
Mum, don't cry, please.
Mum, don't hide your fears.
Mum, mum, mum,
Don't cry for you and me.
Mum, you were by my side, always;
Right now, mum,
I'll be by your side all the time.
When I was little, I sometimes caressed my mother's eyebrows until I fell asleep;
Even if your hair starts to fall out, my mother's face will still be beautiful.
When I was scared, I was comforted in my mother's arms;
Now, whenever fear twists your mind,
Hold my hand tight.
I want to go to the seaside together again, mum;
I want to laugh without care like we used to, really.
Eternal gratitude for playing the role of both parents,
I don't know how to express it in this world.
I'm afraid I'll run out of time at this moment,
This moment when I have so many things to say;
But my mother, who faced unfair difficulties,
You can rely on me now, this is my promise,
Like I used to rely on my mother when I was a child.
If we stick together, we'll be stronger.
Even if I'm scared to death, I'm not gonna say a word,
So you don't have to worry.
Mum, mum, don't cry.
Mum, mum, don't die.
I still can't let go of your hand like a child.
엄마/Mother, March 2019
