청강에 비 듯는 소리

봉림대군

청강에 비 듣는 소리 긔 무엇이 우읍관대
만산홍록이 휘드르며 웃는고야
두어라 춘풍이 몇 날이리 우을대로 우어라

What is so amusing about the rain falling

King Hyo-Jong

What is so amusing about the rain falling
In the clear stream
That red flowers and green trees all over the mountainside
Are bursting into waves of laughter?

Oh well, let them laugh as long as they like
For they have only a few days to enjoy the spring wind.
