Korean Poem, Mom and older sister

9/22/2023

엄마야 누나야, 강변 살자

뜰에는 반짝이는 금모랫빛,

뒷문 밖에는 갈잎의 노래

엄마야 누나야, 강변 살자

Mom and elder sister, let's live
by the riverside

There are shining golden sands in the yard.

We hear the song of reeds from the outside of the rear door.

Mom and elder sister, let's live
by the riverside

태산이 높다하되 하늘아래 뫼이로다

오르고 또 오르면 못 오를리 없건마는

사람이 제 아니 오르고 뫼를 높다 하더라

Even the Great Mountain is high,
only under the sky.

If you keep trying to climb up, you will be finally at the top.

People just are saying that the mountain is too high instead of trying to climb up.
