National cultural heritage No.84
Ko-song  folk song (Gyeong-nam province)

                         Prologue

National cultural heritage is expressed and handed down from the national language and songs.  We must preserve folksongs carefully because they have racial spirit, echoes of life and  our predecessors′song is melted with our national thought and emotion.

But our folk song is internal crisis for reception of reckless foreign music and indifference of school education and society which disregarded local music.

Ko-song folksong is one of the best cultural inheritances of  Korea. I hope everybody can sing it easily, to uphold great tradition and spirit of Korea.

  ■  Lunch break song

     (후렴)더디고더디다점섬채미가더디다.
     (주는소리)더디다- 더디다 점심채미가 더디다-
     숟가락 단반- 에- 세니라고 더디나-
     바가지 죽반에 끼니라고 더디나-
     미나리 챗국에 맛본다고 더디나-
     짜린치매 진치매 끈니라고더디나
     짚신하짝 메트리 한짝 끈니라고 더디나-
     작은에미 큰에미 싸운다고 더디나-
     삼간집 모랭이 도니라고 더디나-
     동세야 동세야 한꾸네가자 요네 점심도 다되었네

    The farmers have been working very early in the morning and they are so tired and hungry.
    But lunch is not served as early as they have expected.
    Lunch comes late What is it late for?
    Is the kitchen helper counting spoons?
    Is she seasoning soup with some salt?
    Is she walking trailing skirt?
    Is she scuffling feet?
    Is there at war between the first wife and second?
    Is she turning at the corner?
    Come on it is time for lunch

  ■  후렴

    더디고- 더디다 점심채미가 더디다.

 

  ▷ 해거름등지(저녁무렵등지소리)
      At sunset This is the song to end up today's work and they miss their
      homes and lovers already

    오- 늘- 해- 가 다 졌는가-- 에- 헤이 골골마다- 연기나- 네
    우- 러- 님은- 어데가고- 에- 헤이 연기- 낼줄- 모리는- 고

    The sun goes down and there's smoke from every chimney in our town.
    Where has my lover gone?
    Our chimney doesn't know to smoke out.

  ■  Short Tungji

     저건너 너리석바구, 앵피배자를 널었더니,
     바램이 불까 말까, 걷어 질까 염려로세.
     여게도  꼽고 저게도꼽고 주인네 마누라 샅에도꼽세.
     쏘목 쏘목 숭거라, 마댕이나 메우세, 드문 드문 숭거라, 고랭이나 채우세

    We're drying some millet grasses on the large rock.
    Windy day be blown away

    The flailing song The song cheers the farmers to be united and work as hard as they can.
    Flail the barley properly Take all the ears out Grip the flail on the other side

    Ladies are weaving at hot and tiring summer night when mosquitoes are buzzing around.
    The hardest thing for weaving alone is washing.
    The hardest thing for weaving two person is leaving spaces
    The hardest thing for weaving three is lining
    Everybody comes and are weaving together sitting on the wheat straw cushion.
    The moon has risen on the mountain as we weave.

    Let us go trip in own making dress
    Let us visit our parents' grave.

  ■  Exposition

     Ladies sing about sorrow of living with husbands family.
     It shows the life of plaintive and innocent country ladies in Korea.
     How my mother treats me.
     How my mother-in-law treats me.
     They are too different always.
     Treat me as your daughter please.
     If the crystal spring were some wine
     I would wine and dine my father-in-law.
     If the fallen leaves were pieces of cake
     I would invite my mother-in-law.
     If the shovel stick were a pen
     I would gift brother-in-law.
     If the pebbles were some candy
     I would treat my sister-in-law well.
     But I have none of them.
     The sunny day after rain I feel as if I met my mother.
     The rain cats and dogs after sun I feel as if I met my mother-in-law.
