The Physics of Love

사랑의 물리학

질량의 크기는 부피와 비례하지 않는다

제비꽃같이 조그마한 그 계집애가

꽃잎같이 하늘거리는 그 계집애가

지구보다 더 큰 질량으로 나를 끌어당긴다.


순간, 나는

뉴턴의 사과처럼

사정없이 그녀에게로 굴러 떨어졌다

쿵 소리를 내며, 쿵쿵 소리를 내며

심장이

하늘에서땅까지

아찔한 진자운동을 계속하였다

첫사랑이었다.

The Physics of Love

Mass is not proportional to volume.
That girl as small as a violet,
that girl who floats like a petal
pulls me toward her with a force
greater than the Earth’s mass.

In an instant,
like Newton’s apple,
I dropped with a thump
and rolled to her
without stopping.

Thump. Thump.
My dizzy heart kept swinging
between Heaven and Earth—
it was my first love.

--- Kim In-yook  with English translation by David Bowles.

This poem became very popular after it was featured in the Korean drama "Goblin" (Guardian: The Great and Lonely God). It describes love using simple physics ideas.

और उसे बादशाह बजाएगा—रमेश

ENOUGH FOR ME

Enough for me to die on her earth

be buried in her

to melt and vanish into her soil

then sprout forth as a flower

played with by a child from my country.

Enough for me to remain

in my country’s embrace

to be in her close as a handful of dust

a sprig of grass

a flower.

--- Fadwa Tuqan

IF I MUST DIE

If I must die, 

you must live 

to tell my story 

to sell my things 

to buy a piece of cloth 

and some strings, 

(make it white with a long tail) 

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza 

while looking heaven in the eye 

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze— 

and bid no one farewell 

not even to his flesh 

not even to himself— 

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above 

and thinks for a moment an angel is there 

bringing back love 

If I must die 

let it bring hope 

let it be a tale.

--- Refaat Alareer

Krvava Bajka (A Bloody Fairytale)

Bilo je to u zemlji seljaka,

Na brdovitom Balkanu dalekome,

Mučeničkom smrću, tihog jeka,

Četa đaka umrla jednoga.

Iste godine svi su rođeni,

Školski dani im isti teku,

Na svečanosti svi vođeni,

Od istih bolesti pelcovani.

Pedeset i pet minuta pre,

Smrtnog časa, tih i malić,

Sedeli su u đačkoj klupi,

Rešavali zadatke složeni.

Koliko može putnik pješice,

Misli pune brojeva svima,

Sveske pune dvojki, petica,

I snova što stiskaju dno džepa.

Misli su pune istih tajni,

Rodoljubivih, ljubavnih sneva,

Svrha, nada i života san,

Mislili su da dugo će trčati.

Ceo red dečaka za ruke se drži,

Sa poslednjeg časa polako kreću,

Na streljanje mirno kao senke,

Smrt im ništa nije značila.

Drugovi jednog časa svi,

Uzneseni u večno boravište,

Tihim putem bez straha,

Njihova priča večno traje.

English Translation (by Sarah O’Keeffe)

It was a land of peasants' toil,

Amid the Balkans' hills and soil,

A troop of schoolchildren brave and small,

Died as martyrs, one and all.

Born the same year, with days aligned,

Their school hours closely intertwined,

Together marched to festivals bright,

Vaccinated, shared each plight.

Fifty-five minutes before fate's hand,

At desks they sat, a quiet band,

Solving tasks with youthful zest:

“How far can one walk on foot, the test...”

Their minds were full of numbers clear,

Notebooks held grades, some severe—

Countless A’s, and F's as well,

Dreams and secrets none could tell.

Patriotic hopes, loves held tight,

Hidden deep within pockets’ light,

They thought their race would long extend,

Beneath the blue sky without end.

Hand in hand, the boys did go,

From last school bell to death’s shadow,

Calmly, as if death were naught,

To eternal rest their souls were brought.

In one day, their lives did cease,

Yet in our hearts, their memories increase,

A tale of youth and courage true,

In a land where mountains view.

--- Desanka Maksimović

Kandisa is an ancient prayer sung in Aramaic, the language closely related to what Jesus and his disciples spoke. The word "Kandisa" means "Holy," "Holy Praise," or "Divine Praise." It is still chanted today in the Syriac Orthodox Church and the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, particularly by the Syrian Malabar Nasrani Christians of Kerala, India. These Christians trace their origins to Jewish Christian converts in the earliest days of Christianity and have preserved some of the ancient traditions and prayers like Kandisa.

-----

Indian Ocean band from India with their song "Kandisa," brought an ancient Aramaic prayer into a contemporary music setting, blending traditional spiritual chant with modern fusion music.
