Thai verse poem in direct translation:


You, that hold the light
I search for you,
untimely.

I should be ashamed
to call out your name
while my love still cry

Please lend me, the wisdom that you hold
Would my beloved: walk behind
or beside you
when the light are ahead of them?

Are they as kind as I remembered
or are they as cruel
when they know the way they must lead?

Until they have arrived
they get to hold the light, right?

You, that hold the light
I am too late
to regret.

Korean Interpretation with Kim Keehyun    |    동반자


빛을 품은 그대,
찾고 있었어요
늦게까지

부끄럽네요
그대를 찾아 헤맨다는 건

나의 등불이 여전히 일렁일 때에는.

내게 허락해 주세요,
그대가 비춰준 지혜로
같이 걷고 있었나요
아니면 따라가고 있었나요?

내 기억처럼 친절했나요
혹은 잔인했나요?
향해가야 하는 곳을 알게 된다면

그곳에 다다를 때까지
빛을 놓지 않고 있었나요?

빛을 품은 그대,
부끄럽네요

늦었지만.
