Sangnam Nam Poems
In the middle of the field, there is a flower tree
There is none nearby other than this
The flower tree stands with full of blossoms
he earnestly bloomed thinking about the tree earnestly
...
In the long future, when you look for me
I would say 'I have forgotten'
If you rebuke me in your heart
I would say 'I have forgotten longing for you so'
...
Now that the night is approaching midnight
I hear the pounding sound on the window
Not able to sleep I look out the window
You are already long gone no where to be found
...
The geese gaggle around
Over the 90 thousand miles high
O the fall is waning away!
So cold the wind feels
...
White flowers were all over
The bride
Chasing her down
Wherever she went
...
In the mountain
Flower blossoms
Flower is blossoming
Spring, summer or fall
...
In the rusted old bronze mirror green
I see my face.
O What dynasty's artifact
This is,
...
Turning around the mount slope I find a lone well near the rice-field and look inside
In the well, there is the moon bright the cloud floating the sky spreading
the wind blowing blue and there is the autumn
And there is this man
...
My heart is the lake
Do row the boat do come to me
I will shatter myself on the sides of your boat
Like the white jade holding your shadow white
...
Crossing the river ford
Through the wheat field
Like the moon passes by the cloud
A wayfarer goes
...
Yes, they were flowers
on this beautiful man
in his coffin at a Catholic church
I happened to drop by
...
You asked me to forget you
You begged me to
Yet I still am not able to forget you
How can I forget
...

The Best Poem Of Sangnam Nam
Flower Tree
In the middle of the field, there is a flower tree
There is none nearby other than this
The flower tree stands with full of blossoms
he earnestly bloomed thinking about the tree earnestly
He can't go to the tree he was thinking about
I just ran away
I made such an odd mimic as if I was doing that for the one flower tree.
By Yi Sang (1910 - 1937)
꽃나무
벌판 한복판에 꽃 나무 하나가 있소.
근처(近處) 에는꽃나무가하나도없소.
꽃나무는제가생각하는꽃나무를 열심(熱心) 으로생각하는것처럼 열심으로꽃을피워가지고섰소.
꽃나무는제가생각하는꽃나무에게갈수없소.
나는 막 달아났소.
한 꽃나무를 위(爲) 하여 그러는 것 처럼 나는참그런이상스러운흉내를내었소.
