Haiku by Goutam Dutta
#1
Spinning and revolving
Heralding days and night
In every season.
回転と回転
昼と夜を告げる
季節ごとに
#2
Between two hemispheres-
Alternately existing
Summer and winter
二つの半球の間
かわるがわる存在する
夏と冬
#3
Tilt of the earth-
Wind loses its warmth
Magical hues at sunset
地球の傾き
風は暖かさを失う
日没時の神秘的な色合い
#4
Phases of moon…
Heralding joy
Festivals on earth
月の満ち欠け
喜びを告げる
地上の祭り
#5
Weak crust
Fiery liquid finds outlet
Earth turns red
弱い地殻
燃えるような液体が出口を見つける
地球が赤くなる
#6
Dark night sky
Down below
City lights are glittering pearls
暗い夜空
下方に
街の明かりはきらめく真珠
#7
Eager eyes await
Nature’s beauty to mesmerize
Sunrise over snow peaks.
熱心な目が待っている
魅了する自然の美しさ
雪のピークの日の出
#8
Gust of breeze
Spray of leaves on my head
Autumnal magic
突風
頭上に葉のスプレー
秋の魔法
#9
Myriad forms and species
Co-existing
Held in a tenuous balance.
無数の形態と種
共存
微妙なバランスで保持される
#10
Flowering tree, vibrant blossom
Hues in sharp contrast..
Adjacent concrete houses.
花咲く木、鮮やかな花
コントラストの強い色合い
隣接するコンクリート住宅
