9월의 노래

Kurt Weill (1900 - 1950) September Song, song for voice & piano (from Knickerbocker Holiday) 9월의 노래 September Affair '旅愁' (1950) (Maxwell Anderson / Kurt Weill) When I was a young man courting the girls I played me a waiting game If a maid refused me with tossing curls I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls And as time came around she came my way As time came around, she came Oh, it's a long long while from May to December But the days grow short when you reach September When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame And you ain't got time for waiting game When days dwindle down to a precious few September November, And these few golden days I'd share with you Those golden days I share with you When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring You court them in song and rhyme They answer with words and a clover ring But if you could examine the goods they bring They have little to offer but the songs they sing And the plentiful waste of time of day A plentiful waste of time Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December But the days grow short when you reach September When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame one hasn't got time for the waiting game Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you 오!, 5월에서 12월까지는 긴 긴 시간이지요. 그러나 그대가 9월을 맞이했다면, 나머지 날들은 순식간에 지나가 버리지요. 가을의 기후가 나뭇잎을 빨간 불꽃처럼 바꿔버릴 때, 사람은 장난삼아 기다리고 있는 시간을 잃어버려요. 정말 귀중한 나날인데, 그 나날은 남은 것이 점점 줄어들지요. 9월, 그리고 11월과. 그래서 귀중한 남은 나날을 당신과 함께 보내고 싶군요.
