Haiku by Oprica Padeanu, Romania (4)
2012/08/18
According to Tatiana BARBUCEANU, Oprica PADEANU, author of several poetry and prose books, situated discreetly, but consistently on the Japanese tristich rigours.
Like a writer she explored the social-existential theme, like a haijin chose the nature, as base and key for to understand the living in instance.
Thus, her haiku book “Blackbird’s Song” created her the possibility to be on magazines, anthologies, tops, contests both in country and abroad (Australia, Canada, Croatia, Japan, Poland, U.S.A. Taiwan).
Here is a cover of “Blackbird’s song”.
Here are some haiku from “Blackbird’s song”, which are translated into English by Mr. Vasile Moldovan, with my Japanese translation.
This is the last part of summer haiku.
SUMMER SHADOWS 夏陰
Still life …
in a colour spot
a wasp
静かな生活 ―
色のついた地点に
スズメバチ
In the mother’s house
the bread steams invite me
to remain away
母の家で
パンの蒸気が勧める
離れていなさいと
From among the market
the beggar’s prayer
for a coin of bread
市場の間から
乞食の祈り
パンのための１コインを求めて
Defective balance –
ants sharing
their earnings
不完全なバランス ―
アリたちが分け合っている
稼ぎを
At dawn the blackbird’s song –
the orchard bathed
in fragrances
夜明けにムクドリモドキの歌 ―
果樹園が浴びていた
芳香を
Dewy dawn –
the blackbird’s song like a prayer
without bite or soup
露の朝 ―
祈りのようなムクドリモドキの歌
食べ物もなくまたスープもない
Hay in the clearing –
loomed through the clouds
the Great Bear
開拓地の干し草 ―
雲を通って現れた
大熊座
Summer evening –
the sky replaced with
neon lights
夏の宵 ―
空に代わって
ネオンのライト
Echoes of flute –
over the water surface
the sunset
フル－トのこだま ―
水面中に
日没
Nobody about –
the shadow of the nut tree
moved by the turtle doves
周りに誰もいない －
ハシバミの影
キジバトで動いた
It is still summer –
under the old book
a cricket chirping
まだ夏 ―
古い本の下
コオロギがさえずっている
Trees bent with fruits –
again the postman passes on
the mother’s house
木が果物でたわわになっている ―
再びポストマンが通り過ぎる
母の家
A new haiku poem –
in the cherry tree shade
the blackbird on a shirt
新しい俳句 ―
サクラの木の陰に
シャツを着たムクドリモドキ
No sign of rain…
My Lord, where is Thy Way
where I will go?
雨の気配がない
我が神よ、汝の道はいずこに
自分はどこに行くのだろう？
