A Letter to Give to Mom

by Eunsol Song

Mom, you say all I can do is play games, right?
Why do you get angry over just that?
Don’t you know my IQ is 100?

Now, I’m going to hate you, Mom.

Since you said your stomach hurts,
I bring you warm water and kimbap.
so why don’t you smile?

Now you are so annoying. I hate you,
You’re so mean, I can’t stand you.

엄마, 게임만 할 수 있지
왜 그런다고 왜 화를 내?
난 아이큐가 100인지 몰라?
난 이제 엄마를 싫어할 거예요.

엄마가 배가 아프다고 해서
따뜻한 물이랑
김밥을 갖다 주는데
왜 엄마는 웃지 않냐고

이제 엄마가
짜증나고 싫고
나빠 죽겠어 !

Rainbow

Rainbow, rainbow,
a rainbow with clouds,
such a pretty rainbow!

Butterflies flutter, flutter,
happy and glad.

Let’s look at the sky
and feel beautiful.

Even when we’re bored,
let’s cheer up and cheer each other on!

무지개, 무지개
구름이 있는 무지개,
너무 예쁜 무지개!

나비들이 팔랑팔랑
기쁨이 좋다.

하늘 보면서
아름답게 우린.

심심해도
힘내서 응원하자!
