"No charge"

아이가 저녁을 준비하고 있는 엄마에게 조목조목 적은 종이쪽지를 엄마에게 내밀면서 시작하는 노래, No Charge ~♫    A young boy hands his mother an itemized list of charges he says he's owed for performing various chores and comes to collect; the singer performs this in spoken word. The mother responds (singing) by reminding her son about all the things she's done for him, that she never asked him to pay for services rendered and that, all things considered, "the cost of real love is no charge." "No charge" (엄마의 사랑은 "무료"란다)   My little boy came up to me in the Kitchen this evening 저녁을 준비하고 있는데 While I was making dinner 내 아이가 부엌에 와서 And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writing on 내게 뭐라고 쓴 종이 한 조각을 주었다. And after wiping my hands on my apron, I read it 손을 앞치마에 닦고 그 종이를 받아 읽었다.   And this is what it said 거기엔 이렇게 씌여 있었다. for mowing the lawn 5dollars $5 잔디 깎은 댓가로 5 달러 for making my own bed this week 1 dollars $1 이번주 내 침대 정리 1 달라 for going to the store 50 cents 가게 심부름 50센트 Playing with the little brother while You went to the store 25cent 엄마 가게 간 동아 동생 돌 봐 준 값 25센트 for taking out the rubbish 1dollars 쓰레기 버린 일 1달러 Getting a good report card 5dollars 좋은 성적표 받아 온 값 5달러 And for raking the yard 2dollars 마당 쓴 값 2달러 Total owed $14.75 총 청구액 $14.75   Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly 잔뜩 기대하고 있는 아이를 보면서 And a thousand memories flashed through my mind 내 마음속에는 만 가지의 생각이 스쳐 지나갔다. And so I picked up the pen turning the paper over. This is what I wrote.. 그래서 난 그 종이의 뒷면에 펜을 들어 쓰기를..   For the nine months I carried you growing inside me. 아홉달 동안 내 뱃속에서 키운 값 "No charge." "무료" for the nights I'v sat up with you 아플 때마다 잠 못자고 doctored you, prayed for you 너를 위해 기도하고 간호해준 값 "No charge" "무료" For the time and the tears that you cast through the years.. 수 년간 너를 위해 시간을 투자하고 눈물을 흘렸던 일들.. There is no charge 무료 When you add it all up 모두 다 더하면 The cost my love is no charge 네게 준 내 사랑의 값은 거저구나 For the worries ahead 네 장래를 위한 염려들 No charge 무료 For advice and the knowledge 네게 준 충고와 가르쳐 준 지식들 And the cost of your college No charge 네 학교 교육비도 무료 For the toys food and clothes 장난감 음식 옷들 And for wiping your nose 네 콧물 닦아준 일 There is no charge, son 무료란다 내 아들아 When you add it all up 다 더하면 The full cost of my love is no charge 나의 모든 사랑의 값은 무료란다   When he finished reading he had great big tears in his eyes 아이가 다 읽더니 아이 눈에는 커다란 눈물이 글썽이고 있었다 And he looked up at me and said "Mom.. I really do love you" 그리고 나를 올려다 보며 말하기를 " 엄마.. 정말 사랑해" 그리고 아이가 그 종이위에 쓰기를  "Paid in full" "완불"     No Charge - Melba Montgomery   "No Charge"' is a country music song, written by songwriter Harlan Howard, and made famous by country singer Melba Montgomery in 1974.   About the song Melba Montgomery had already recorded a series of duets hits with country music artists George Jones, Charlie Louvin, and Gene Pitney during the 1960s (the most successful of those being "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds" with Jones). In the early 1970s, she began focusing on a solo career, but did not have notable success.   Eventually, she began recording for Elektra Records, where her struggles continued. Then, Howard forwarded a song to Montgomery he thought would be perfect for her: "No Charge." She recorded "No Charge" in early 1974, and it was released that April. By the end of May, Montgomery enjoyed her first taste of solo success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. The song also reached No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.   A young boy hands his mother an itemized list of charges he says he's owed for performing various chores and comes to collect; the singer performs this in spoken word.
