Korean poem translated into English by me. :)
I translated a poem in Korean into English.
Take a look at it. :)

If only I be a flower
Jo, Dong-wha
Don¡¯t say
What difference into the meadow
I, just a blossom, can make.
If you bloom
And if I, too, bloom,
After all, the meadow would wholly
Turn into a flower garden,
Wouldn¡¯t it?

Don¡¯t say either
What difference into the mountain
Can only I make if I begin to color.
If I turn red
And if you, too, turn red,
After all, the whole mountain would
Blaze up in fire,
Wouldn¡¯t it?

The Original poem in Korean is below.
