어져 내 일이야 그릴 줄을 모로던가

황진이

어져 내 일이야 그릴 줄을 모로던가
이시라 하더면 가랴마는 제 구태여
보내고 그리는 정은 나도 몰라 하노라

Ah, What Have I Done

Hwang Jini

Ah, what have I done—as tough I didn’t
know my feelings would remain.
I would not add the few
words that would keep him.

I want to understand the joy
I felt as I was letting him go.
