My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride.
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died..
할아버지의 시계는 벽에 걸기엔 너무나 커서
90년 동안이나 마루에 세워놓았었죠.
그 시계는 할아버지 키에 반도 넘었죠.
비록 무게는 별로 나가지 않았지만 말예요.
그 시계는 할아버지가 태어나시던 날에 산 시계였기에
할아버지는 늘 그 시계를 보물처럼 아끼곤 하셨죠.
하지만 그 시계는 할아버지가 돌아가시자마자
다시는 움직이지 않았어요.
.............
(Chorus)
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died.
90년동안이나 한 순간도 멈추지 않고 똑!-딱! 똑!-딱!
늘 할아버지의 삶과 함께 했었는데 말예요. 똑!-딱! 똑!-딱!
그 시계는 할아버지가 돌아가시자 멈춰버리고 말았어요.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride.
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died..
(Chorus)
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died.
