제가 제일 좋아하는 가수이자 한때 저에게 있어서 삶의 위안이 되어 주었던 Tom Waits입니다.
그의 두번째 앨범인 [The Heart of Saturday Night]에 수록된 곡으로 감히 제가 원곡의 느낌을 온전히 살려내는 번역을 할 자신이 없기에 그냥 원문가사를 올립니다.
San Diego Serenade
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
I never saw the white line 'til I was leaving you behind
I never knew I needed you until I was caught up in a bind now
I never spoke "I love you" 'til I cursed you in vain
I never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane
I never saw the east coast until I moved to the west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast
I never saw your heart until someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your love light, baby
I never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
