   B 서아야, 왜 피아노 앞에 앉아서 한숨만 쉬고 있어?

   Seoaya, wae piano ape anjaseo hansumman swigo isseo?

   Seoa, why are you just sitting at the piano sighing?

   A 할아버지, 토요일에 발표회가 있는데 벌써부터 가슴이 두근거려요. 연습을 그렇게 많이 했는데도 무대 생각만 하면 손에 진땀이 나요.

   Harabeoji, toyoire balpyohoega inneunde beolsseobuteo gaseumi dugeungeoryeoyo. Yeonseubeul geureoke mani haenneundedo mudae saenggangman hamyeon sone jinttami nayo.

   Grandpa, my recital is on Saturday and my heart's already pounding. I've practised so much, but just thinking about the stage makes my hands sweat.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 지난주에 연습하는 거 들어 보니까 아주 잘 치데. 그런데도 떨리는 거야?

   Jinanjue yeonseupaneun geo deureo bonikka aju jal chide. Geureondedo tteollineun geoya?

   I heard you practising last week, and you played really well. And you're still nervous?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 집에서는 괜찮은데, 사람들이 보고 있으면 머리가 하얘져요. 작년에는 중간에 틀려서 하마터면 엉엉 울 뻔했어요.

   Jibeseoneun gwaenchaneunde, saramdeuri bogo isseumyeon meoriga hayaejyeoyo. Jangnyeoneneun junggane teullyeoseo hamateomyeon eongeong ul ppeonhaesseoyo.

   I'm fine at home, but when people are watching, my mind goes blank. Last year I made a mistake in the middle and almost burst into tears.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 그 마음 할아버지도 잘 알지. 학교에 있을 때 전교생 앞에만 서면 다리가 후들후들 떨렸거든.

   Geu maeum harabeojido jal alji. Hakgyoe isseul ttae jeongyosaeng apeman seomyeon dariga hudeulhudeul tteollyeotgeodeun.

   I know that feeling well. When I was a teacher, my legs would shake whenever I stood in front of the whole school.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 정말요? 할아버지는 선생님이셨는데도 떠셨어요?

   Jeongmaryo? Harabeojineun seonsaengnimisyeonneundedo tteosyeosseoyo?

   Really? You were a teacher and you still got nervous?

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그럼. 처음으로 조회 시간에 연설을 했는데, 원고를 든 손이 너무 떨려서 글자가 하나도 안 보이더라.

   Geureom. Cheoeumeuro johoe sigane yeonseoreul haenneunde, wongoreul deun soni neomu tteollyeoseo geuljaga hanado an boideora.

   Of course. The first time I gave a speech at morning assembly, my hand holding the notes shook so much I couldn't read a single word.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 그래서 어떻게 하셨어요? 그냥 내려오셨어요?

   Geuraeseo eotteoke hasyeosseoyo? Geunyang naeryeoosyeosseoyo?

   So what did you do? Did you just walk off?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 아니, 끝까지 버텨 냈지. 그 뒤로 떨지 않는 요령을 몇 가지 찾아냈단다.

   Ani, kkeutkkaji beotyeo naetji. Geu dwiro tteolji anneun yoryeongeul myeot gaji chajanaetdanda.

   No, I stuck it out to the end. And after that I found a few tricks for not shaking.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 요령이요? 저도 알려 주세요.

    Yoryeongiyo? Jeodo allyeo juseyo.

    Tricks? Tell me too.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 첫째, 무대에 오르기 전에 넷까지 세면서 숨을 들이마시고, 다시 넷까지 세면서 천천히 내쉬는 거야.

    Cheotjjae, mudaee oreugi jeone netkkaji semyeonseo sumeul deurimasigo, dasi netkkaji semyeonseo cheoncheonhi naeswineun geoya.

    First, before you go on stage, breathe in while counting to four, then breathe out slowly while counting to four again.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷... 이렇게요? 오, 마음이 조금 차분해진 것 같아요.

    Hana, dul, set, net... ireokeyo? O, maeumi jogeum chabunhaejin geot gatayo.

    One, two, three, four... Like this? Oh, I think I feel a little calmer.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그렇지. 둘째, 객석에서 제일 편한 얼굴 하나만 찾아서 그 사람한테 들려준다고 생각해. 토요일엔 할아버지를 보면 되겠네.

    Geureochi. Duljjae, gaekseogeseo jeil pyeonhan eolgul hanaman chajaseo geu saramhante deullyeojundago saenggakae. Toyoiren harabeojireul bomyeon doegenne.

    That's it. Second, find the one friendliest face in the audience and imagine you're playing just for them. On Saturday you can look at me.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 할아버지가 맨 앞에 앉아 계시면 정말 덜 떨릴 것 같아요. 그럼 셋째는요?

    Harabeojiga maen ape anja gyesimyeon jeongmal deol tteollil geot gatayo. Geureom setjjaeneunyo?

    If you're sitting in the front row, I think I really will be less nervous. So what's the third one?

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 셋째가 제일 중요해. 틀려도 절대 멈추지 말고 그냥 계속 치는 거야. 이건 꼭 명심해.

    Setjjaega jeil jungyohae. Teullyeodo jeoldae meomchuji malgo geunyang gyesok chineun geoya. Igeon kkok myeongsimhae.

    The third one matters most. Even if you make a mistake, never stop; just keep playing. Remember that.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 에이, 설마요. 틀리면 사람들이 다 알 것 같은데요.

    Ei, seolmayo. Teullimyeon saramdeuri da al geot gateundeyo.

    Oh, come on. If I make a mistake, I'm sure everyone will notice.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 정말이야. 듣는 사람들은 네가 틀린 줄도 잘 몰라. 자, 지금 할아버지 앞에서 한번 쳐 봐.

    Jeongmariya. Deunneun saramdeureun nega teullin juldo jal molla. Ja, jigeum harabeoji apeseo hanbeon chyeo bwa.

    It's true. The people listening usually don't even know you slipped. Now, go on, play it for me.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 네, 할아버지가 관객이에요. 그럼 인사부터 할게요.

    Ne, harabeojiga gwangaegieyo. Geureom insabuteo halgeyo.

    Okay, you're the audience. I'll start with a bow.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 중간에 한 번 틀렸는데도 멈추지 않고 끝까지 쳤네. 봐라, 해냈잖아. 우리 서아 참 대견하다.

    Junggane han beon teullyeonneundedo meomchuji anko kkeutkkaji chyeonne. Bwara, haenaetjana. Uri seoa cham daegyeonhada.

    You slipped once in the middle, but you didn't stop and played right to the end. See? You did it. I'm so proud of you, Seoa.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 진짜 아무도 모를까요? 할아버지는 바로 알아채셨잖아요.

    Jinjja amudo moreulkkayo? Harabeojineun baro arachaesyeotjanayo.

    Will nobody really notice? You noticed right away.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 할아버지는 악보를 외울 만큼 들었으니까 알지. 토요일에 오는 사람들은 아마 박수 치느라 바쁠 거다.

    Harabeojineun akboreul oeul mankeum deureosseunikka alji. Toyoire oneun saramdeureun ama baksu chineura bappeul geoda.

    I've heard it so often I could recite the score, so of course I noticed. The people on Saturday will probably be too busy clapping.
