All the Rice Paddies
Ribbit!
When a frog cries,
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
All the rice paddies raise their own voices.
When I cry,
Ribbit!
—————
All the rice paddies clam up tightly.
온 논이
개굴!
개구리 하나가 울자
개굴개굴개굴개굴개굴
개굴개굴개굴개굴개굴
개굴개굴개굴개굴개굴
개굴개굴개굴개굴개굴
개굴개굴개굴개굴개굴
온 논이 목청을 높인다.
개굴!
내가 따라하자
─
온 논이 입을 딱 다문다.
