Learning Korean through songs with you all - Ep.1
So I was listening to Trot Queen Ha Choon Hwa's "Good Job/Well Done" (잘했군 잘했어) a few days ago, and they use a lot of old korean grammar and some obscure words, and I didn't really understand it - so I'll learn with y'all!
Here goes my strategy I had shown y'all a few posts ago
Text :
영감 왜 불러
뒷뜰에 뛰어놀던
병아리 한 쌍을 보았소 보았지
어쨌소
이 몸이 늙어서
몸 보신 할려고 먹었지
잘했군 잘했어
잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
그러게 내 영감이라지
마누라 왜 그래요
외양간 매어 놓은
얼룩이 황소를 보았나 보았죠
어쨌나
친정집 오라비
장가들 밑천에 주었지
잘했군 잘했어
잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
그러게 내 마누라지
영감 왜 불러
사랑채 비워 주고
십만원 전세를 받았소 받았지
어쨌소
방앗간 차릴려고
은행에 적금을 들었지
잘했군 잘했어
잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
그러게 내 영감이라지
마누라 왜 불러요
복덕방 골영감이
장기를 두자고 왔었나 왔었지요
뭐랬나
장기는 그만두고
태권도 배우러 갔댔지
잘했군 잘했어
잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
그러게 내 마누라지
It's long as hell, it's also a duet so I gotta split it up into Choonhwa (C) and Bongsan (the guy that sang with her) (B) first to get the conversation between them. I'll do a few steps in one, mark the words I don't know, and get the translations-
(Verse 1)
C: 영감~
B: 왜 불러?
C: 뒷뜰에 뛰어놀던 병아리 한 쌍을 보았소?
(I should have guessed that. I knew 쌍 means double of something, like 쌍둥이)
(뒷 means "at the back of smth" and 뜰 means "field", so I guess this means "backyard")
B: 보았지.
C: 어쨌소?
(Both kinda make sense here, but eventhough 어쩌다 as an adjective is "by chance" or "accidentally", as a verb, it means "to be some sort of way", i guess. Also adding 소 at the end of a question was standard practice back then, I guess. The halmeonis still do speak that way.)
B: 이 몸이 늙어서 몸 보신 할려고 먹었지
(So it just is a fancy or old fashioned way to say "to keep myself healthy" or to "care for my body")
C: 잘했군, 잘했어
C,B: 잘했군, 잘했군, 잘했어
C: 그러게 내 영감이라지
(Verse 2)
B: 마누라~
C: 왜 그래요?
B:외양간 매어 놓은 얼룩이 황소를 보았나?
C:보았죠
B:어쨌나?
C:친정집 오라비 장가들 밑천에 주었지
B:잘했군, 잘했어
B,C: 잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
B: 그러게 내 마누라지
(Verse 3 - version 1, there's three different versions from now )
C: 영감!
B: 왜 불러?
C:사랑채 비워 주고 십만원 전세를 받았소?
B: 받았지
C: 어쨌소?
B: 방앗간 차릴려고 은행에 적금을 들었지
C: 잘했군, 잘했어
C,B : 잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
C: 그러게 내 영감이라지
(Verse 4, version 1)
B: 마누라~
C: 왜 불러요?
B:복덕방 골영감이 장기를 두자고 왔었나?
C: 왔었지요
B:뭐랬나?
C: 장기는 그만두고 태권도 배우러 갔댔지
B: 잘했군 잘했어
B,C: 잘했군 잘했군 잘했어
B: 그러게 내 마누라지
(Verse 3, version 2 - the one I'm used to)
C:영감?
B: 왜불러?
C: 사랑채 비워주고 십만원 전세를 받았소?
B: 받았지
C:어쨌소?
B: 서양춤 출려고 쌍나팔 전축을 사왔지
C: 잘했군, 잘했어
C,B :잘했군 잘했군 잘했어!
C: 그러게 내 영감이라지
(Pt 4 version 2)
B: 마누라?
C: 왜 불러요?
B: 딱정댁 마나님에 술값의 독촉을 왔었나?
(Damn, I never knew I'll be learning english here too)
C: 왔었죠
B: 어쨌소?
C: 술병을 고칠려고 지리산 약캐러 갔댔지
B: 잘했군, 잘했어
B,C : 잘했군, 잘했군, 잘했어
B: 그러게 내 마누라지

2023.7.6.
지리산 기행 2일차, 오도재에서 지리산 가볼만한 관광안내판을 보고 '서암정사(석굴법당)' 을 갔다.
내부는 촬영이 금지라 아쉬웠지만, 정말로 동굴안에 큰 부처님과 양쪽에 아미타, 관세음 보살 그리고 사천왕이 조각되어 있는 게 참 대단하다 싶었다.
훗날 100년~200년이 지나면 '현대문화재' 로 지정되지 않을까 싶었다.
그러다 다시 거꾸로 한국의 100대 멋진 도로라는 지안재를 갔다. 타이어 광고하는 도로 같았다.
그리고 함양시내를 가서 최고로 맛있고 엔틱한 카페를 가서 빙수를 먹고 함양 상림을 갔다.
신라시대 진성여왕때 함양태수인 '최치원' 이 만든 함양 상림을 가게 되었다.
와, 옛날 인조정원이 아직도 보존되어서 있는 게 신기했다.
그리고 옆에 천이 흐르고 뒤에는 지리산이 있고 이 도시는 예전부터 비옥하고 먹고 살기 좋은 도시라는 인상이 생겼다.
그리고 카페에서 나와서 호랑나비이자 함양나비를 한컷 찍었다.
연꽃단지는 연꽃이 피기 시작할때라 아쉬웠다. 그리고 수많은 꽃밭을 보고 함양시장으로 발길을 옮겼다.
사실 날이 더워서 너무 지쳤었다. 하지만 운전해주는 선배도 있어서 뒤에 앉아 잠만 잘 잤었다. 😴
2023.8.10.
태풍이 한반도를 관통한다고 한다. 지난번 집중호우로 사망자가 50명이 넘게 나왔다. 제발 이번 태풍에는 인명피해가 없었으면 좋겠다.
그리고 태풍과 폭우를 핑계로 샌들을 신고 출근한다.
오늘 하루도 최선을 다하고 가벼운 마음으로 퇴근하기를, 그리고 어서 밀린 보고서도 내고 공적서도 내고 끝이 보이기를 바라고 있다.
내무부 결과는 8월 4번째 주로 밀렸다. 쪼는 맛은 8월 내내 가겠구나. 다들 태풍에 몸조심하시기를 바라겠습니다.
아, 그리고 요즘 뉴진스 신곡 너무 좋아요! 춤도 좋고! 민지도 좋고(?!)
ETA, Super Shy, Cool With You
