My hometown, left far behind
Our town was raised on quiet agriculture and rain
Only now I'm aware how much that home still means
이제야 난 그 고향이 얼마나 소중한지 알고 있어
The baker's warm bread filled the street each dawn
We shared a cold beverage under the summer tree
Every autumn brought a celebration to the square
That little village stole my heart completely
No winter cold could confine our warmth inside
그 어떤 겨울 추위도 우리의 온기를 가둘 순 없었어
Fresh milk waited in a metal container by the door
신선한 우유가 문가 금속 용기 안에서 기다렸어
The winters there were cruel, but hope stayed warm
그곳의 겨울은 잔인했지만 희망은 따뜻하게 남았어
My father worked the dairy from the break of dawn
I daydream of those hills when city nights grow long
Determination, Determination
Their quiet determination built this humble town
그들의 조용한 결단력이 이 소박한 마을을 세웠어
The elders held a warm discussion by the fire
I get emotional whenever I recall that place
The morning light spread evenly across the fields
At harvest time the whole town would gather round
Small fishing boats came home to our old harbour
An old man, hunchbacked from years of honest work
오랜 세월 정직한 노동으로 등이 굽은 한 노인이 계셨어
In our gentle town, a killing was never known
A clear stream ran nearby where children liked to play
Grandma baked her bread with just a pinch of salt
Those village hands were reliable and strong
그 마을 사람들의 손길은 믿을 수 있고 강했어
Each year the town made one small revision to its map
해마다 마을은 지도에 작은 수정 하나를 더했어
The seasons rotate slowly over golden fields
Small houses lay scattered across the gentle hills
The first symptom of spring was blossom on the trees
I said goodbye to home at that old bus terminal
난 그 오래된 버스 터미널에서 고향과 작별했어
My mother held me tightly on the day I left
An old wreck still rests inside our quiet harbour
낡은 난파선 하나가 아직 우리 고요한 항구에 잠겨 있어
I keep my grandpa's wristwatch ticking to this day
난 할아버지의 손목시계를 지금도 째깍이게 간직해
