   A 할머니, 녹음 버튼 눌렀어요. 할머니 애창곡 진도아리랑 한 자락만 편하게 불러 주세요.

   Halmeoni, nogeum beoteun nulleosseoyo. Halmeoni aechanggok jindoarirang han jarangman pyeonhage bulleo juseyo.

   Grandma, I've pressed record. Just sing a verse of your favourite, Jindo Arirang, nice and relaxed.

2. 2

   B 아따, 잠깐 멈춰 봐라. 이 늙은이 목소리가 뭔 소용인가. 요런 걸 뭣 할라고 녹음한다냐?

   Atta, jamkkan meomchwo bwara. I neulgeuni moksoriga mwon soyonginga. Yoreon geol mwot hallago nogeumhandanya?

   Oh my, hold on, stop that. What use is an old woman's voice? What on earth are you recording this for?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 가족 기록으로 남기려고요. 할머니 목소리, 할머니 말투, 나중에 제 아이들도 들을 수 있게요.

   Gajok girogeuro namgiryeogoyo. Halmeoni moksori, halmeoni maltu, najunge je aideuldo deureul su itgeyo.

   To keep it in our family archive. Your voice, the way you talk - so my own kids can hear it someday.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 니 애기들이? 내가 노래한들 누가 듣겄냐. 요새 애들은 그 뭐시냐, 케이팝인가 뭔가만 듣는디.

   Ni aegideuri? Naega noraehandeul nuga deutgeonnya. Yosae aedeureun geu mwosinya, keipabinga mwongaman deunneundi.

   Your kids? Who'd listen even if I did sing? Kids these days only listen to that, what's it called, K-pop or whatever.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 할머니, 케이팝 가수들도 아리랑 불러요. 그리고 할머니 아리랑은 인터넷 어디에도 없어요. 할머니가 직접 지어서 부르시는 가사가 있잖아요.

   Halmeoni, keipap gasudeuldo arirang bulleoyo. Geurigo halmeoni arirangeun inteonet eodiedo eopseoyo. Halmeoniga jikjeop jieoseo bureusineun gasaga itjanayo.

   Grandma, K-pop singers sing Arirang too. And your Arirang isn't anywhere on the internet. You've got verses you made up yourself.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그거야 밭 매다가 심심해서 갖다 붙인 것이제. 그런 걸 기록이라고 하믄 사람들이 웃겄다.

   Geugeoya bat maedaga simsimhaeseo gatda buchin geosije. Geureon geol girogirago hameun saramdeuri utgeotda.

   I just tacked those on while weeding the fields because I was bored. People would laugh if you called that a record.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 아무도 안 웃어요. 요즘 사투리가 소멸 위기래요. 그래서 이렇게 녹음해 두는 게 진짜 귀한 거예요.

   Amudo an useoyo. Yojeum saturiga somyeol wigiraeyo. Geuraeseo ireoke nogeumhae duneun ge jinjja gwihan geoyeyo.

   Nobody's going to laugh. They say dialects are in danger of dying out these days. That's why recording it like this is so precious.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 사투리가 없어진다고? 아이고, 그라믄 나 죽으믄 요 말도 같이 가는 것이여?

   Saturiga eopseojindago? Aigo, geurameun na jugeumeun yo maldo gachi ganeun geosiyeo?

   Dialects are disappearing? Oh my, so when I die, this way of talking goes with me?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그러니까 지금 남겨야지요. 할머니, 첫 소절만 해 주세요. 받는 소리는 제가 같이 할게요.

   Geureonikka jigeum namgyeoyajiyo. Halmeoni, cheot sojeolman hae juseyo. Banneun sorineun jega gachi halgeyo.

   That's exactly why we have to save it now. Just the first line, Grandma. I'll join in on the refrain.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 알았다, 알았어. 그럼 받는 소리부터 한다잉. '아리 아리랑 스리 스리랑 아라리가 났네.'

    Aratda, arasseo. Geureom banneun soributeo handaing. 'Ari arirang seuri seurirang arariga nanne.'

    All right, all right. Then I'll start with the refrain. "Ari arirang, seuri seurirang, arariga nanne."

    Line 10
11. 11

    A '아리랑 응응응 아라리가 났네!' 할머니, 저 이 '응응응' 부분이 진짜 좋아요.

    'Arirang eungeungeung arariga nanne!' Halmeoni, jeo i 'eungeungeung' bubuni jinjja joayo.

    "Arirang eung-eung-eung, arariga nanne!" Grandma, I really love this "eung-eung-eung" part.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그 맛에 부르는 것이제. 인자 내 가사 하나 들어 볼래? 느그 할아버지 배 타고 나갈 적에 부르던 거여.

    Geu mase bureuneun geosije. Inja nae gasa hana deureo bollae? Neugeu harabeoji bae tago nagal jeoge bureudeon geoyeo.

    That's the fun of it. Now, want to hear one of my verses? It's one I used to sing when your grandpa went out on the boat.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 네, 꼭 들려주세요. 할아버지가 배 타셨던 얘기는 한 번도 못 들어 봤어요.

    Ne, kkok deullyeojuseyo. Harabeojiga bae tasyeotdeon yaegineun han beondo mot deureo bwasseoyo.

    Yes, please do. I've never heard anything about Grandpa going out on the boats.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B '바다에 나간 님 소식은 없고, 기약 없는 밤에 달만 밝구나.' 요것이 내 가사여.

    'Badae nagan nim sosigeun eopgo, giyak eomneun bame dalman balguna.' Yogeosi nae gasayeo.

    "No word from my love out at sea; through the endless night, only the moon shines bright." That's my verse.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 할머니, 가사가 너무 애틋해요. 할아버지가 늦게 들어오시면 그렇게 기다리셨어요?

    Halmeoni, gasaga neomu aeteutaeyo. Harabeojiga neutge deureoosimyeon geureoke gidarisyeosseoyo?

    Grandma, that verse is so heartbreaking. Is that how you waited when Grandpa came home late?

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 하믄. 폭풍 오는 날은 밤새 부둣가에서 하염없이 기다렸제. 이 세월을 누가 알리오. 그 속을 누가 알겄냐.

    Hameun. Pokpung oneun nareun bamsae budutgaeseo hayeomeopsi gidaryeotje. I seworeul nuga allio. Geu sogeul nuga algeonnya.

    Of course. On stormy days I waited at the harbour all night long, on and on. Who could ever know what those years were like? Who could know what I went through?

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 그래서 녹음하는 거예요, 할머니. 할머니가 말씀 안 하시면 정말 아무도 모르잖아요.

    Geuraeseo nogeumhaneun geoyeyo, halmeoni. Halmeoniga malsseum an hasimyeon jeongmal amudo moreujanayo.

    That's why I'm recording, Grandma. If you don't tell it, nobody will ever know.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 그 말도 맞다잉. 내가 말을 안 한께 아무도 몰랐제. 니 엄마도 이 가사는 모를 것이여.

    Geu maldo matdaing. Naega mareul an hankke amudo mollatje. Ni eommado i gasaneun moreul geosiyeo.

    You've got a point there. Because I never said anything, nobody knew. Even your mom won't know this verse.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 엄마한테도 꼭 들려 드릴게요. 할머니, 방금 그 가사 한 번만 더 불러 주세요. 이번엔 처음부터 끝까지요.

    Eommahantedo kkok deullyeo deurilgeyo. Halmeoni, banggeum geu gasa han beonman deo bulleo juseyo. Ibeonen cheoeumbuteo kkeutkkajiyo.

    I'll make sure Mom hears it too. Grandma, sing that verse once more. From start to finish this time.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 아따, 징하다. 알았다. 대신 틀려도 끊지 마라잉. 늙은이 노래는 틀린 데가 맛이여.

    Atta, jinghada. Aratda. Daesin teullyeodo kkeunchi maraing. Neulgeuni noraeneun teullin dega masiyeo.

    My, you don't give up. All right. But don't stop me if I get it wrong. The mistakes are what make an old woman's song.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 절대 안 끊을게요. 틀리시는 데도 다 할머니 거니까요.

    Jeoldae an kkeuneulgeyo. Teullisineun dedo da halmeoni geonikkayo.

    I won't stop you, I promise. Even the mistakes are all yours.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 다 불렀다. 어디 한번 들어 보자. 내 목소리가 요로코롬 생겼다냐?

    Da bulleotda. Eodi hanbeon deureo boja. Nae moksoriga yorokorom saenggyeotdanya?

    There, I've sung it. Let's have a listen. Is that really what my voice sounds like?

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 네, 이게 할머니 목소리예요. 어떠세요? 좋으시죠?

    Ne, ige halmeoni moksoriyeyo. Eotteoseyo? Joeusijyo?

    Yes, that's your voice. What do you think? It's lovely, isn't it?

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 워메, 목소리가 다 갈라졌네. 그래도 느그 할아버지가 들었으믄 좋아했겄다.

    Wome, moksoriga da gallajyeonne. Geuraedo neugeu harabeojiga deureosseumeun joahaetgeotda.

    Goodness, my voice is all cracked. But still, your grandpa would have liked it.

    Line 24
25. 25

    A 그럼 할머니, 내일은 할아버지 얘기도 녹음해요. 노래 말고 이야기로요.

    Geureom halmeoni, naeireun harabeoji yaegido nogeumhaeyo. Norae malgo iyagiroyo.

    Then tomorrow, Grandma, let's record stories about Grandpa too. Not songs - stories.

    Line 25
26. 26

    B 인자 아주 방송국을 차렸구나. 알았다. 대신 녹음 끝나믄 니가 이 할미 밥 한 끼 사라잉.

    Inja aju bangsonggugeul charyeotguna. Aratda. Daesin nogeum kkeunnameun niga i halmi bap han kki saraing.

    Now you've gone and set up a whole broadcasting station. Fine. But when the recording's done, you're buying your grandma a meal.
