                                                                                          어디에도 붉은 꽃을 심지 마라 
                                                                                          거리에도 산비탈에도 너희 집 마당 가에도 
                                                                                          살아남은 자들의 가슴엔 아직도 
                                                                                          칸나보다 봉숭아보다 더욱 붉은 저 꽃들 

                                                                                          어디에도 붉은 꽃을 심지 마라 
                                                                                          그 꽃들 베어진 날에 아아 빛나던 별들 
                                                                                          송정리 기지촌 너머 스러지던 햇살에 
                                                                                          떠오르는 헬리콥터 날개 노을도 찢고 

                                                                                          붉게

 

                                                                                          무엇을 보았니 아들아 
                                                                                          나는 깃발 없는 진압군을 보았소 
                                                                                          무엇을 들었니 딸들아 
                                                                                          나는 탱크들의 행진 소릴 들었소

 

                                                                                          아 우리들의 오월은 아직 끝나지 않았고 
                                                                                          그날 장군들의 금빛 훈장은 하나도 회수되지 않았네 
                                                                                          어디에도 붉은 꽃을 심지 마라 
                                                                                          소년들의 무덤 앞에 그 훈장을 묻기 전까지

 

                                                                                          오

 

                                                                                          무엇을 보았니 아들아 
                                                                                          나는 옥상 위에 저격수들을 보았소 
                                                                                          무엇을 들었니 딸들아 
                                                                                          나는 난사하는 기관총 소릴 들었소

 

                                                                                          어디에도 붉은 꽃을 심지 마라 
                                                                                          여기 망월동 언덕배기에 노여움으로 말하네 
                                                                                          잊지 마라 잊지 마, 꽃잎 같은 주검과 훈장 
                                                                                          너희들의 무덤 앞에 그 훈장을 묻기 전까지

 

                                                                                          무엇을 보았니 아들아 
                                                                                          나는 태극기 아래 시신들을 보았소 
                                                                                          무엇을 들었니 딸들아 
                                                                                          나는 절규하는 통곡 소릴 들었소

 

                                                                                          잊지 마라 잊지 마, 꽃잎 같은 주검과 훈장 
                                                                                          소년들의 무덤 앞에 그 훈장을 묻기 전까지
