Korean Leper Poet Han Ha Woon (한하운)

I
I
Will die
And become a blue bird
Flying around
The blue skies
The green fields
Chirping
Blue songs
Green cries
I
I
Will die
And become a blue bird

ORIGINAL IN KOREAN


파랑새



나는
나는
죽어서
파랑새 되어
푸른 하늘
푸른 들
날아 다니며
푸른 노래
푸른 울음
울어 예으리
나는
나는
죽어서
파랑새 되리


by Korean Leper Poet Han Ha Woon (한하운)

  4. Is there any significance to the use of the colors green and blue back and forth, or just a rhyming mechanism?

  5. I wish that happened when we die. I want to be a blue bird.

  6. ...in those few words lies currents of deep admiration for nature.... it volumes a truly melancholic song unto my ears about someone who's dying soon yet wishes to live again...this time as part of the hidden nature.... thanks for the poem. Have a good day.
