그 날이 오면 심훈 시

When The Day Comes
By Shim-hoon

When the day comes and comes
When Sam-gak mountain rises up & dances
When Han river water overturns & soars
Before I die, I will hit the big clock on Jong no area on my head and make it ring with a crow.
Even if my head is broken
Into pieces for that,
I will be happy so what more can I want?

When the day comes, oh, comes
When I can jump and leap in the palace
When I get overjoyed and touched too much
I will peel all of my skin and
make a big drum from it and I will carry the drum in front of you.
When I can hear the roaring sound once again,
I can die on the spot without any regret
