"가사 백구사(白鷗詞, Baekkusa)"
‘가사’는 긴 사설을 노래하는 한국의 전통 성악곡이다. 12가사 중 하나인 〈백구사〉는 “백구야 훨훨 나지마라”의 노랫말로 시작하여 전원에 묻혀 사는 장부의 마음을 노래한 곡이다. 노래 가사는 본래 문학작품「백구사」와 같다. 백구에게 자신의 신세를 한탄하는 것으로 시작하여, 이후 속세를 떠난 장부의 살림살이를 묘사, 단오 시절의 녹의홍상 미인들은 그네뛰기를 하는데 자신은 벗님의 부재로 외로움을 한탄한다. 악곡의 선율은 평조(솔선법), 장단은 6박의 도드리장단으로 구성되어있다.
‘Gasa’ is a genre of traditional Korean vocal music, known for its extended narrative lyrics. "Baekkusa" (White Gull Song), one of the renowned twelve gasas, opens with the line “White gull, do not flutter away.” It beautifully captures the emotions of a nobleman who chooses a reclusive life in the countryside. This song's lyrics mirror those of the literary piece "Baekkusa." It begins with the nobleman sharing his woes with a white gull, then moves on to paint a vivid picture of his life away from worldly concerns. The song also portrays the charming scene of women in green and red clothes enjoying swing rides during the Dano festival, while the singer expresses a deep sense of loneliness due to the absence of a dear friend. Musically, "Baekkusa" features a melody in Pyeongjo mode (tuned to G) and follows a rhythmic pattern known as six-beat Doduri jangdan.

[가사 Lyric]
(백구야 훨훨)
나지마라 너 잡을 내 아니로다 성상이 버리시니 너를 쫓아 예 왔노라
오류춘광 경 좋은데 백마금편 화류가자
운침벽계 화홍 유록헌데 만학천봉 빛은새뤄
호중천지에 별건곤이 여기로다
고봉만장 청기울헌데 녹죽창송은 높기를 다퉈 명사십리에 해당화만 다 퓌여서
모진 광풍을 견디지 못허여 뚝뚝 떨어져서 아주 펄펄 나라나니 긘들 아니 경일러냐
White gull, do not flutter away, for I seek not to ensnare you. Abandoned by my lord, it's you I've followed, in your flight's graceful view.
Behold the willow's spring hues, so delightfully fair, let us mount white horses, golden whips in the air, through blossoms we'll glide, in the gentle spring air.
Where rivers run blue and leaves share their hue, where blooms blaze in red as a new light breaks through, on valleys and peaks, a radiant view.
Here lies a haven, a realm so divine, a paradise earthly, yet celestial in line.
Upon lofty mountains where green giants stand, bamboo and pines in a towering band, by river sands, peach blossoms expand.
They dance and they twirl, in the wind's fierce swirl, petals aflutter, a spectacle unfurled. A marvel, a wonder, nature's own pearl.

〈농월정 Nongwoljeong Pavilion〉
조선 중기 때 학자인 지족당 박명부(知足堂 朴明博, 1571-1639)가 광해군 때 파직된 후 고향에 돌아와 서당을 짓고 수련한 곳이다. 1899년에 현재의 모습으로 건립되었으며 후손들이 정자 앞 오른쪽 암반에 ‘지팡이를 짚고 노닐던 곳’이라는 뜻의 지족당장구지소(知足堂杖구之所)라는 글자를 새겨놓았다.
The Nongwoljeong Pavilion was a retreat for the mid-Joseon Dynasty scholar Jijokdang Park Myeong-bu (1571-1639). After his dismissal during Gwanghaegun's reign, he returned to his hometown and established a private school. The pavilion, as we see it today, was reconstructed in 1899. His descendants left a meaningful inscription 'Jijokdangjanggujiso,' signifying 'the place where he strolled with a walking stick,' on a rock near the pavilion.

〈거연정 Geoyeonjeong Pavilion〉
2005년 경상남도 유형문화재로 지정되었다. 농월정, 거연정, 용유담과 어우러져 절경을 이루며 동지중추부사를 지낸 화림재 전시서(全時敍)가 1640년경 서산서원을 짓고 그 곁인 현 거연정 위치에 억새로 만든 정자를 최초로 건립하였다.
Recognized in 2005 as a Tangible Cultural Property of Gyeongsangnam-do, Geoyeonjeong Pavilion contributes to the breathtaking landscape that includes Nongwoljeong Pavilion and Yongyudam. Hwarimjae Jeon Si-seo, who served as Dongjijungchubusa, originally built a reed pavilion around 1640 at what is now the site of Geoyeonjeong Pavilion, alongside constructing Seosanseowon.
