World Haiku Series 2019 (114)
Haiku by Marieta Maglas
Summer flies dance,
water lily attracts,
innocence- losing.
夏のハエが踊る、
睡蓮は魅力がある、
無邪気さを失っている。
#
The weather is blue
and we dance some old, jazz blues
in the happy rain.
天気は憂鬱
私たちは古いジャズブルースを踊る
幸せな雨の中。
#
The white snowdrops spring
in the fervent lights of March,
which melt icy things.
白いスノードロップの春
3月の強烈な光の中で、
氷のようなものを溶かす。
#
The cosmic mirage
when the stars move around
but they seem to stay.
宇宙の蜃気楼
星が動くとき
しかし、彼らは留まっているようです。
#
The cats’ dream comes true.
They sleep in the summer’s heat.
Chase some moon rabbits.
猫の夢がかなう。
夏の暑さの中で眠る。
月のうさぎを追いかける。
#
Bleeding liberty,
flags, dying leaves in autumn,
and the clouds’ battle.
血まみれの自由、
フラグ、秋の枯れ葉、
そして雲の戦い。
#
Cold rain drops fall down.
Red and yellow paint the leaves.
Wet winds whip some wounds.
冷たい雨の滴が落ちる。
赤と黄色が葉に色を塗る。
湿った風が傷を激しく打つ。
#
In the skies’ shadow~
the scent of Tussie-Mussies
and the bomb’s opus.
空の陰で〜
タッジーマッジーの香り
そして爆弾のオーパス。
#
A fly flies freely.
The bloodedness of its eyes
stalks the Cobra plants.
ハエは自由に飛ぶ。
その血まみれの目
コブラプラントに忍び寄る。
#
Like a babbling brook,
in the mountain pyramid
hell boils hot lava.
せせらぎの小川のように
山のピラミッドで
地獄は熱い溶岩を沸騰させる。
— Translated by Hienori Hiruta
