근대 한일 대중가요의 성립 과정과 번역－<카추샤의 노래>의 원곡과 번역곡 가사의 비교분석

Abstract

This paper took up the case from which a Japanese song was translated into Korean language by time of formation of a popular song in Korea and Japan and considered a methodology of translation of text. Katyusha’s song has been called the 1st number of Japanese record popular song. The important thing here is not ‘Who translated?’ and not ‘what was translated’, but ‘How was it translated?’. I paid attention to the importance of the lyrics of a popular song as literary text here. Translation achieved the very important role at that time of coming into existence of the popular song as the most typical example of different culture contact. Katyusha’s song was made as a plot song in a dramatic stage in Resurrection which is novel in Tolstoy. Japanese original piece of lyric was　formed with 7ㆍ7 or 7ㆍ5 syllable meters, and has the repeating form of the sound ‘か’ [ka] as a kind of alliteration. The narrator sometimes focused on main character Maslova Katyusha, but the narrator caught all her life by the distant view from an omniscient viewpoint overall. Korean translation of Katyusha’s song which stood up in 1916 was a translation more wonderful than the original. Thus Katyusha’s song put the Japanese feelings on a Western melody and succeeded. Korean translation digested and Korea-ized ‘westernized Japan culture’, and made it a part of everyday life and consumed.
