I am translating a poem by a Korean poet named Lee Hong-Ki (1933-2005). The poem’s name in Korean is “Nak-Hwa” (\ub099\ud654, \uf918\u82b1, these characters meaning “fall” and “flower”). This is entirely my own translation with the help of various dictionaries.<\/p>\n

Falling Flower Petals<\/strong><\/span>
By Lee Hyong-Ki [1963]<\/div>\n
\n

To know, with certainty,
when it’s time to go.
Now that is a thing of true beauty to behold.<\/p>\n

Springtime.
My love has long persevered
through passions,
but is now, as the petals of a flower,
descending to the earth.<\/p>\n

Oh, that sweet fragrance of falling petals….
With kind words, it is ended. Farewell.
The time to go is now.<\/p>\n

Behold, greenery and lush shade,
There will soon be fruit for the taking,
as the autumn is coming.<\/p>\n

My youth, much like a flower, dies.
One fine day, as we part ways,
I see the waving of a delicate hand,
and the falling, one after another,
of flower petals.<\/p>\n

My love, the parting of ways.
What is left is as tranquil as a pool of still water.
The sad eyes of my matured soul look on.
