뻐꾸기(A cuckoo)

 

뻐꾸기

 

 

뻐꾸기는 자기 이름이 뻐꾸기인줄 알까요?

뻐꾸기는 자기가 뻐꾹뻐꾹하며 운다는 걸 알까요?

뻐꾸기는 자기 울음소리를 들은 사람들이

“이제, 봄이 왔구나”

하고 기지개를 켠다는 걸 알까요?

아니면 말 많은 이 세상 사람들이 싫어서

그 모든 걸 다 알면서도

모르체 하는 걸까요?

A cuckoo

 

 

Does a cuckoo know its name is Cuckoo?

Does the cuckoo know that it cries with a cuckoo?

The cuckoo said that the people who heard it cry

"Spring is here"

Does it know that it's stretching after that?

Or it doesn't like people in this world who talk a lot

Even though it knows everything

Does it think it doesn't know?
