***
Слетают птицы
со скал при виде солнца…
Как по команде…
Birds fly off the cliffs
at the sight of the sun…
As if on command…
日が昇り崖を飛び立つ鳥の群れ
***
Словно кукушка…
Волны опять кукуют…
Сердце толкают…
Like a cuckoo…
The waves are cuckooing again…
They are pushing the heart…
カッコウの魂のこもらぬ波の声
***
Смотрите, люди!
На Море и на Небо…
Чтоб стать мудрее…
Look, people!
To the Sea and to the Sky…
To become wiser…
海と空眺めて君は賢明に
***
Солнце сквозь тучи
волны приглаживает…
Красивей нету…
The sun smooths the waves
through the clouds…
There is nothing more beautiful…
雲間より太陽波をなだめけり
***
Так поэтично…
Встаёт над морем солнце
каждое утро…
So poetic…
The sun rises over the sea
every morning…
宇宙の詩海より昇る朝日かな
***
Так тянет к морю…
У него глаза, песни
человечные…
I’m so drawn to the sea…
He has human eyes, songs…
人の目と歌持つ海に惹かれけり
***
Темнеет вечер…
Но продолжают песни
ночные волны…
The evening is getting dark…
But the night waves continue their songs…
宵闇に歌い続ける夜の波
***
Волна танцует
уже не вальс, а танго…
Под ритм прибоя…
The wave dances
not a waltz, but a tango…
To the rhythm of the surf…
波踊る波のリズムのタンゴかな
***
Туман волшебен…
Как только он приходит,
все видят чудо…
The fog is magical…
As soon as it comes,
everyone sees a miracle…
霧かかり魔法の如く奇跡生る
***
Тянет за рукав
волна меня на танец…
Жаль, не танцую…
The wave pulls me by the sleeve
to dance…
It’s a pity I don’t dance…
袖を引き踊りに誘う海の波
***
