I got flowers today

I got flowers today
It wasn't my birthday or any other special day
We had our first argument last night
And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me
I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said
Because he sent me flowers today

I got flowers today
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me
It seemed like a nightmare
I couldn't believe it was real
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over
I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today

I got flowers today
And it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day
Last night, he beat me up again
And it was much worse than all the other times
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave
But I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today

I got flowers today
Today was a very special day
It was the day of my funeral
Last night, he finally killed me
He beat me to death
If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him
I would not have gotten flowers - today

나는 오늘 꽃을 받았어요
내 생일이 아닌 데도요
지난밤 처음으로 우린 다퉜지요
하지만 그는 미안해 할 거예요
왜냐면 오늘 나에게 꽃을 보냈거든요


나는 오늘 꽃을 받았어요
결혼기념일도 아닌 데도요
지난밤 그는 내 목을 졸랐어요
악몽 같았어요
하지만 그는 틀림없이 미안해 할거예요
왜냐면 오늘 나에게 꽃을 보냈거든요


나는 오늘 꽃을 받았어요
어머니날도 아닌 데도요
지난밤 그는 나를 또 두드려 팼지요
이전보다 훨씬 더 심하게
그를 떠나면 난 어떻게 될까요?
아이들은요? 돈은요?
나는 그가 무서운데
떠나기도 두려워요
하지만 그는 틀림없이
미안해 할 거예요
왜냐면 오늘 나에게
꽃을 보냈거든요


나는 오늘 꽃을 받았어요
오늘은 아주 특별한 날
바로 내 장례식 날이거든요
지난밤 그는 드디어 날 죽였지요
때려서 죽음에 이르게 했지요
내가 좀더 용기를 갖고 힘을 내서 떠났더라면
나는 아마 오늘 꽃을 받지는 않았을 거예요
