It’s been raining a lot here in Boston lately, and my movie nut friend has been taking me to watch a lot of movies. I don’t know how those two relate, but I do know that you should watch The Big Sick, preferably with a date, and should stay away from A Ghost Story. I mean, unless you’re able to tolerate, or even appreciate, modern art. Then go for it. I feel like this guy deserves a bit more attention. I like his lyrics and had a lot of fun translating this one .
윌콕스 – Rain Man
비 오는 날에 누나 CDP
마치 딱 내 어깨만큼 좁은 골목길과
그 땐 학교보다 가기 싫던 집
폐지 가득 할머니 유모차에 필름지
죽기보다 싫은 일이었던
내 방 한 켠에 들었던 멍도
가난도 아닌 여름
땀냄새 절은 패딩을 입고 등교하는 짓
Sometimes I feel like a raindrop
모든 기억이 고인 물 같은 스물여섯살
선명했던 모든 게
잉크처럼 번져있는 건 젖어서일까
난생 처음 불을 붙일 땐
엄만 걱정의 목소릴 높여 다퉜네
미안해 나 아직 철없이
맞는 비 like a rain man
화창하던 창 밖엔
하루 종일 비가 내리네
먹구름 같은 기억이
내 방에 창문을 두드려
How do I get there, there, there
How do I get there, there
Sounds like 투두둑
(Knock Knock Rain Man)
비 냄새가 코 끝에 찡
아랫집이 싫어하던 랩만 하던 애가
만든 앨범을 냈던 스물넷
근데 이제 난 노래도 해 어쩔래
꼭 잠겨있던 방에서 비행기 표를 get
우두커니 서있던
옛 동네 현관문을 그리면
마침 딱 이런 냄새가 지겹게
복도에 울려 퍼졌던 기억
Sometimes I feel like a raindrop
모든 기억이 고인 물 같은 스물여섯살
선명했던 모든 게
잉크처럼 번져있는 건 젖어서일까
난생 처음 불을 붙일 땐
엄만 걱정의 목소릴 높여 다퉜네
미안해 나 아직 철없이
맞는 비 like a rain man
문득 비가 내려서
예보엔 없던 게
한 방울씩 맺혔더라고
떠올랐던 게 이런 날씨 같아서
그냥 앉아서 방에 앉아서
화창하던 창 밖엔
하루 종일 비가 내리네
먹구름 같은 기억이
내 방에 창문을 두드려
How do I get there, there, there
How do I get there, there
Sounds like 투두둑
(Knock Knock Rain Man)
비 냄새가 코 끝에 찡
Wilcox – Rain Man
On a rainy day with my sister’s CD player
Through the alleyway as narrow as my shoulders
Back when I hated home more than school
There was this one thing I couldn’t bear
Walking through the bottles and cans
My grandma hoarded to sell to the man
Going to school on that damp summer day
In my sweat drenched jacket that turned grey
Sometimes I feel like a raindrop
A puddle full of memory at twenty-six years old
Ripples run through my head
Like a smudged ink in the rain
When I finally made my first fire
Mom warned me the world isn’t as I desire
I’m sorry but I still want to believe
Dancing in the rain like a rain man
The rain falls
Where the sun used to be
The clouds of “once upon a time”
Come knocking on my window
How do I get there, there, there
How do I get there, there
Sounds like doo doo doo
(Knock Knock Rain Man)
The tingling scent of rain
The boy who used to rap through the night
My first album at twenty-four years old
I guess I’m singing now, too
With a plane ticket in one hand
And the door knob in the other
Remembering that stench
That filled up the room
The smell I could never get used to
Sometimes I feel like a raindrop
A puddle full of memory at twenty-six years old
Ripples run through my head
Like a smudged ink in the rain
When I finally made my first fire
Mom warned me the world isn’t as I desire
I’m sorry but I still want to believe
Dancing in the rain like a rain man
My scattered thoughts
Gather into a drop of rain
And fall without a notice
Reminiscing on the days
Sitting alone in my room
The rain falls
Where the sun used to be
The clouds of “once upon a time”
Come knocking on my window
How do I get there, there, there
How do I get there, there
Sounds like doo doo doo
(Knock Knock Rain Man)
The tingling scent of rain
