Вечером зимним
Сжигаю тоску-печаль
В топке камина.
Vecherom zimnim Szhigayu tosku-pechal’ V topke kamina.
***
A winter evening…
My sorrow turns to white smoke
In the fireplace.
悲しみは暖炉の中で燃えている
kanashimi wa danro no naka de moe te iru
***
Под белым пледом
Молодые побеги
В сон погрузились.
Pod belym pledom Molodye pobegi V son pogruzilis’.
***
Under a white quilt
The young wheat shoots fall asleep…
Dreaming of springtime.
雪の下若芽は眠る春の夢
yukinoshita wakame wa nemuru haru no yume
***
Капельки росы
На листках орхидеи
Как жемчуг блестят.
Kapelki rosy. Na listkakh orkhidei. Kak zhemchug blestyat.
***
The sugar dew drops
On the opening orchids
Is shining like pearls.
露滴 蘭の葉の上 真珠かな
tsuyushizuku ran no ha no ue shinju kana
***
Опавший цветок
Бабочкой обернулся
И падает вверх.
Opavshiy tsvetok. Babochkoy obernulsya. I padayet vverkh.
***
A fallen flower
Turned into a butterfly
Is falling upwards.
散る花は蝶に変わって舞い上がる
chiruhana wa chō ni kawatte maiagaru
***
Багряный закат…
Пара диких оленей
Мирно пасется.
Bagryanyi zakat… Para dikikh olenei Mirno pasetsya.
***
A crimson sunset…
A pair of wild deer
Peacefully grazing.
夕焼けや鹿のつがいは草を食む
yūyake ya shika no tsugai wa kusa wo hamu
***
Трепещет листок…
Ветви ив треплет ветер,
И никнут без сил.
Trepeshchet listok… Vetvi iv treplet veter. I niknut bez sil.
***
A trembling of leaves…
The wind tousles willow boughs,
And they bow, weary.
細柳や風に震えて垂れ下がる
sairyū ya kaze ni furue te taresagaru
***
Хмурые деньки
Льют украдкой слезинки…
Небо в печали.
Khmurye den’ki L’yut ukradkoi slezinki… Nebo v pechali.
***
A saddened sky
Is shedding hidden tears
A dreary day.
憂いの日空は密かに涙する
urei no hi sora wa hisoka ni namida suru
Озерная гладь
Красоту отражает
Неба и земли.
Ozernaya glad’. Krasotu otražaet. Neba i zemli.
***
The lake’s smooth mirror
Reflects boundless beauty
Of Heaven and Earth.
水面は天と地の美をよく映す
suimen wa ten to chi no bi wo yoku utsusu
***
Поле златое,
Слышу шепот… Колосья
Ветер ласкает.
Pole zlatoye. Slyshu shepot… Kolos’ya. Veter laskayet.
***
In the golden field
The wind caresses ears…
A whisper is heard.
新風が麦穂撫でる黄金畑
shinpū ga bakusui naderu kogane-bata
***
Звёзды бледнеют…
Луна полноликая
На гору взошла.
Zvyozdy bledneyut… Luna polnolikaya. Na goru voshla.
***
The stars are pale…
Full-faced moon has risen
On the mountain.
満月が山に昇りて星淡し
mangetsu ga yama ni nobori te hoshi awashi
