금발의 제니 ... 포스터

 

1.
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air:
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair;
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

2.
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart or the fond hopes that die:
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Waiting for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.

3.
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.

한송이 들국화 같은 제니 바람에 금발 나부끼면서
오늘도 예쁜 미소를 보내며 굽이치는 강 언덕 달려오네
꿈결같은 제니의 노래소리에 작은 새도 가지에서 노래해
 아~~~~~~~~~~~  한 송이 들국화 같은 제니
금발 머리  나부끼며 웃음짓네.
