오늘 카페에서 들은 노랜데 너무 좋아서 기억하려고 기록해둔다.
Chris Rea의 Gone Fishing
멍때리며 듣다가 가사 한소절이 귀에 들어왔는데
'아차'싶게 만드는 정곡을 찌르는 이야기더라.
한순간 왼쪽 가슴 안쪽 5센치 부근의 장기가 따끔따끔 찌릿찌릿 함을 느꼈다.
이 시적이고 냉담한 가사를 번역할 자신이 없네.
마지막 소절이었음.
I'm gone fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make the difference
So I'm taking the time
And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So I'm gone fishing
And I'm going today
I'm gone fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go
And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me
You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing
