시간을 되돌릴 수만 있다면

시간을 멈추거나 되돌릴 수만 있다면,
이 세상의 잘못된 것들을 바꿀 텐데,
모든 것을 완벽한 운율처럼 평화롭게 만들고,
질병과 죽음과 고통을 뽑힌 플러그처럼 멈출 텐데.

전쟁도, 가난도, 굶주리는 이들도, 범죄도 없는 세상,
그곳은 완벽한 노래가 될 텐데.
하지만 그날이 올 때까지 나는 그저 마임처럼,
우리가 계속 꿈꾸는 완벽한 세상을 바라볼 뿐.

시간을 멈추거나 되돌릴 수만 있다면,
이 세상의 잘못된 것들을 바꿀 텐데,
모든 것을 완벽한 운율처럼 평화롭게 만들 수만 있다면.

IF ONLY I COULD REWIND TIME

If only I could stop or rewind time,
change in this world what is wrong,
make everything peaceful, like a perfect rhyme,
hold illness, death, and pain like an unplugged prong.

No wars, no poverty, folks going hungry, no crime,
this would be a perfect song.
But till that day comes, I’m just a mime,
dreaming of a perfect world in unison as we prolong.

If only I could stop or rewind time,
change in this world what is wrong,
make everything peaceful, like a perfect rhyme.

DAS MANTRA IN MIR

Mit jedem Schritt, im Einklang wiege ich mich,
tief in meinem Herzen weiß ich: Ich bezwinge dich—
all das Leid und Unheil, das mir begegnet,
mir selbst treu zu bleiben, ist, was mich prägt.

Dies ist das Mantra, das ich in meinem Herzen bewahre,
selbst wenn ich zerbrochen am Boden liege.
Wenn ich zu Boden stürze und kaum noch Kraft verspüre,
schlägt mein Herz noch lauter—
steh auf und folge diesem Klang.

Du bist du.
Du bist ein König.
Das Mantra in deinem Herzen
ist deine Krone und dein Ring.

Steige immer über Glut und Asche hinaus,
selbst wenn Herz und Verstand miteinander ringen.
Bewahre dieses Mantra tief in deinem Inneren,
was auch immer dir begegnet—
lass den Zweifel hinter dir.

Steh auf, wenn du ins Wanken gerätst,
steh wieder auf, wenn du fällst.
Vergiss niemals deinen Wert,
ganz gleich, was geschieht.

Mit jedem Schritt, im Einklang wiege ich mich,
tief in meinem Herzen weiß ich: Ich bezwinge dich—
all das Leid und Unheil, das mir begegnet,
mir selbst treu zu bleiben, ist, was mich prägt.

Das ist mein Mantra.
Das ist mein Weg.
Ich erhebe mich als ich selbst—
und jeden Tag stehe ich erneut auf.

DIE MANTRA BINNE-IN

Met elke tree, in eenheid swaai ek,
wetend diep in my hart, vir altyd sal ek
die kwale en seerkry wat oor my pad kom, oorwin,
getrou aan myself sal ek altyd bly.

Dit is die mantra wat ek in my hart bewaar,
selfs wanneer ek gebreek en stukkend lê.
Wanneer ek plat teen die grond neergeslaan is,
klop my hart harder—
staan op met die geluid.

Jy is jy.
Jy is een koning.
Die mantra in jou hart
is jou kroon en jou ring.

Styg altyd bo die gloeiende kole en as,
selfs wanneer jou hart en jou verstand bots.
Hou hierdie mantra diep in jou gedagtes,
wat ook al oor jou pad kom—
laat twyfel agter.

Staan wanneer jy wankel,
staan weer op wanneer jy val.
Onthou jou waarde
deur dit alles.

Met elke tree, in eenheid swaai ek,
wetend diep in my hart, vir altyd sal ek
die kwale en seerkry wat oor my pad kom, oorwin,
getrou aan myself sal ek altyd bly.

Dit is my mantra.
Dit is my pad.
Ek staan op as myself—
en ek staan elke dag weer op.

내면의 만트라

걸음마다 하나 되어 나는 흔들리고,
내 마음 깊은 곳엔 영원히 이겨낼 힘이 있어
내 앞에 다가오는 모든 아픔과 시련을,
나는 언제나 나 자신에게 진실하리라.

이것이 내가 마음속에 간직한 만트라,
산산이 무너져 바닥에 쓰러진 순간에도
내 심장은 더욱 크게 뛰며 외친다—
그 소리에 맞춰 다시 일어나라.

너는 너다.
너는 하나의 왕이다.
네 마음속 만트라는
너만의 왕관이며 반지다.

타오른 불씨와 재를 넘어
언제나 더 높이 올라서라.
마음과 생각이 서로 부딪힐 때에도
네 안의 만트라를 굳게 간직하라.

무슨 일이 네 앞을 가로막더라도
의심은 뒤로하고 앞으로 나아가라.
흔들릴 때에도 굳게 서고,
쓰러질 때에도 다시 일어나라.

모든 순간 속에서
너의 가치를 잊지 마라.

걸음마다 하나 되어 나는 흔들리고,
내 마음 깊은 곳엔 영원히 이겨낼 힘이 있어
내 앞에 다가오는 모든 아픔과 시련을,
나는 언제나 나 자신에게 진실하리라.

이것이 나의 만트라.
이것이 나의 길.
나는 나 자신으로 일어나
오늘도 다시 일어선다.

  BENİ TAKİP EDEN ŞEY
  BENİ TAKİP EDEN ŞEY Attığım her adımdasessizce peşimden gelir.Ne önümde yürür,ne de geride kalır;her adımımı, her yolu,her dönüşümü takip eder. Eğildiğimdeo da benimle eğilir,sanki bir kilise sırasındabaşını saygıyla öne eğipsessizce diz çöker gibi. Doğrulduğumdao da uzanır göğe,yeryüzünde büyüyenkaranlık bir varlığa dönüşür,kollarını gökyüzüne açmışgizemli bir yaratık gibi. Arkamı dönerim—ama kimse yoktur.

  DAS, WAS MIR FOLGT
  DAS, WAS MIR FOLGT Mit jedem Schritt folgt es mir,still und schweigend hinter mir.Nie geht es voran, nie bleibt es zurück,es folgt jedem Schritt, jedem Weg, jedem Stück.

Wenn ich mich aufrichte,streckt es sich empor,wächst über den Boden… Read more: DAS, WAS MIR FOLGT

  나를 따라오는 것
  나를 따라오는 것 내가 한 걸음 내디딜 때마다그것은 언제나 나를 따라온다.앞으로 나서지도 않은 채뒤에서 조용히 나와 함께한다. 내가 몸을 굽히면그것도 함께 고개를 숙인다.마치 예배당의 의자 앞에서경건히 절하는 사람처럼. 내가 우뚝 서면그 그림자도 길게 늘어나하늘을 향해 손을 뻗는어두운 괴물처럼 보인다. 뒤를 돌아본다—하지만 아무것도 없다.텅 빈 공간과고요한 공기뿐. 한 걸음 내디디면그것도 한 걸음 따라온다.내가 무엇을 할지이미 알고… Read more: 나를 따라오는 것

  THE THING THAT FOLLOWS | SAM TUMBLIN
  With every step, it follows,Never to the front to wallow.Through every road and every bend,It stays beside me like a friend. Even when I bend,It bows like at a pew to attend.When I stand tall, it stretches high,Like some dark creature reaching for the sky. I turn around—there’s nothing there,Just empty space and quiet air.I… Read more: THE THING THAT FOLLOWS | SAM TUMBLIN

THE MANTRA WITHIN

With every step, in unison I sway,
Knowing in my heart, forever I’ll slay
The ills and harms that come my way,
True to myself, I’ll always stay.

This is the mantra I keep in my heart,
Even when I’m broken, torn apart.
When I’m down and crawling on the ground,
My heart beats louder—
Rise to the sound.

You are you.
You are one king.
The mantra in your heart
Is your crown and ring.

Always rise above the ember and ash,
Even when your heart and mind clash.
Hold your mantra firmly in your mind,
Whatever comes your way,
Leave doubt behind.

Stand when you’re shaken,
Rise when you fall.
Remember your worth
Through it all.

With every step, in unison I sway,
Knowing in my heart, forever I’ll slay
The ills and harms that come my way,
True to myself, I’ll always stay.

This is my mantra.
This is my way.
I rise as myself—
And I rise every day.
