wandering in the fields
but nowhere able to find
hat of a scarecrow
野原をさまよう
しかし、どこにも見つけることができない
案山子の帽子
basket full of cherries
between the leaves there is
a bee hiding
さくらんぼでいっぱいのかご
葉の間にいる
隠れている蜂
someone greeted me
no way I could remember
who that person was
誰かが私に挨拶した
思い出せない
その人は誰だったか
I have found a hat
not good for me - nor the scarecrow
what to do with it?
帽子を見つけた
私には良くない、案山子にも
どうしよう？
on the sidewalk
lunch of a beggar - bread
and a tomato
歩道で
乞食の昼食 ― パン
そしてトマト
together with me
the wind is a passer-by
reading the newspapers
私と一緒に
風が通りすぎる
新聞を読む
we are drinking wine
what is each other thinking
no one really knows
私たちはワインを飲んでいる
お互いに何を考えているのか
誰にも本当に分からない
dilapidated house
an old helpless woman
with her sorrow
老朽化した家
無力な老女
彼女の悲しみとともに
with the blowing wind
big heavy raindrops arrived
and the first tree leaves
風が吹き
大きな重い雨滴が到着
そして最初の木の葉
we are munching popcorns
all over the big screen
the river is flowing
私たちはポップコーンをむしゃむしゃ食べている
大画面中に
川が流れている
― Translated into Japanese by Hidenori Hiruta
