Well.... I got bored again.... So I decided to post something up again....
It's poem by Kim Nam-Jo.... titled "Parallel Lines".... I'm sure you guys
already read it in Korean, but... well, here is the English version that we
came up with. Hope you like it. =)
Parallel Lines
Written by Kim Nam-Jo
Translated by John C. Park and SooYun Kim
We have never met
Yet we have never parted.
For what fate we bear
Must we keep our distance?
Coming closer, we fear to be near,
Going farther, we fear to be far.
As I call you
As you call me
Must we go on losing ourselves?
We have never been one
Yet we have never been two.
I hope you like the translation. If you have any suggestion for a better
translation, please write me an e-mail. My e-mail address is:
