그대 그런 사람을 가졌는가?
-함석헌

만리 길 나서는 길
처자를 내 맡기며
맘 놓고 갈만한 사람
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가.

온 세상 다 나를 버려
마음이 외로울 때에도
‘저 마음이야’하고 믿어지는
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가.

탔던 배 꺼지는 시간
구명대 서로 사양하며
‘너 만은 제발 살아다오’할
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가.

불의의 사형장에서
‘다 죽여도 너희 세상 빛을 위해
저만은 살려두거라’일러줄
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가.

잊지 못할 이 세상을 놓고 떠나려 할 때
‘저 하나 있으니’하며 
빙긋이 웃고 눈을 감을
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가.

온 세상의 찬성보다도
‘아니’하고 가만히 머리 흔들 그 한 얼굴 생각에
알뜰한 유혹을 물리치게 되는
그 사람을 그대는 가졌는가. 

 

 

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 

 

By Hahm, Seok Hun

Translated by Lotus Chung

 

 

To leave for a very long distance away

Leaving lovely wife and children behind

A friend who takes good care of your precious family comfortably

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 

Since all the world throws me away

When I lead a solitary life
A friend who believes me is ‘a steadfast friend’ 

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 

At the moment, a ship is sinking in the water to die

A friend gives away a life belt to another
A friend says ‘only you must live’ 

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 

At an unexpected execution ground

A friend who deserves to be alive for the light of a world although all die
Telling ‘only that friend must be rescued without me’ 

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 

When I leave this unforgettable world
As I feel relief ‘having a trustworthy friend’ 

I could close my eyes with a bland smile

Thou do you have a friend like this?

 
Beyond more than many people’s approval of the world
Coming to mind the friend saying ’no’ 

Turning down a temptation carefully

Thou do you have a friend like this?
