Hokusai One hundred Poems 11-50 In Japoneza si Engleza

Am decis sa public si poemele in japoneza (cu traducerea in engleza aferenta). Desi habar nu am ce inseamna mi se pare extraordinar, vorba lui Misaki-san, "sa exprimi o sensibilitate atat de profunda in cateva cuvinte!" Si cand te gandesti ca haiku-ul foloseste si mai putine cuvinte...

Sursa folosita pt acest articol este tot cea din Virginia Pt cine cunoaste cate ceva din cultura acelor popoare asiatice care folosesc hieroglife in scriere (China, Japonia, Coreea) nu e un secret ca exista o arta a scrierii frumoase (ceva mai complicata decat Caligrafia care ni se preda noua in scoala; fiind stangace cand eram mica--dar reprimata brutal de mama mea, incat acum sunt mai degraba dreptace, psihologii spun ca e mare greseala sa reprimi un copil stangaci sa foloseasca mana stanga si sa il obligi sa foloseasca numai drepta, pt ca el are creierul altfel alcatuit decat un dreptaci, noroc ca stradania mamei mele nu mi-a afectat prea mult creierul, doar self-estime, adica amorul propriu-- m-am simtit teribil de usurata cand nu mi-a mai reprosat nimeni, in special tatal meu care avea o caligrafie cu adevarat artistica, ca scriu urat; in facultate o singura colega reusea sa ia notite complete pastrand un scris egal, frumos, si citet, eu aveam nevoie de cateva zile in avantsesiune sa-midescifrez notitele, si cum manuale nu aveam...). Se pot admira pe situl respectiv, care are cate o pagina dedicata fiecarui poem, si reproduceri dupa woodblocks (planse de lemn folosite pt gravura) cu poemele scrise in hieroglife.

Over the wide sea
Towards its many distant isles
My ship sets sail.
Will the fishing boats thronged here
Proclaim my journey to the world?

The Monk Henjo

Let the winds of heaven
Blow through the paths among the clouds
And close their gates.
Then for a while I could detain
These messengers in maiden form.

So my love has grown to be
Like the river's quiet deeps.

While my garment's hanging sleeves
Are speckled with falling snow.

Of the pine trees growing there,
I'll come back again to you.

That water gleamed with autumn red
As it does in Tatta's stream

I hide from people's eyes.

Short as a piece of the reeds
In Naniwa's marsh,

Even though it costs my life
In the Bay of Naniwa.

Just because she said,
"In a moment I will come,"
I've awaited her
Until the moon of daybreak,
In the long month, has appeared.

Fuku kara ni
Aki no kusaki no
Shiorureba
Mube yama kaze o

It is by its breath
That autumn's leaves of trees and grass
Are wasted and driven.
So they call this mountain wind
The wild one, the destroyer.

Tsuki mireba
Chiji ni mono koso
Kanashi kere
Waga mi hitotsu no

As I view the moon,
Many things come into my mind,
And my thoughts are sad;
Yet it's not for me alone,
That the autumn time has come.

At the present time,
Since I could bring no offering,
See Mount Tamuke!

As a tribute to the gods.

Trailing vine of "Meeting Hill,"
Isn't there some way,
Hidden from people's gaze,
That you can draw her to my side?

Mine no momijiba

If the maple leaves
On Ogura mountain
Could only have hearts,

The emperor's pilgrimage.

Izumi-gawa
Itsu mi kitote ka

Over Mika's plain,
Gushing forth and flowing free,

I do not know if we have met:
Why, then, do I long for her?

Winter loneliness
In a mountain village grows
Only deeper, when
Guests are gone, and leaves and grass
Are withered: troubling thoughts.

Orabaya oran
Hatsushimo no
Oki madowaseru

If it were my wish
To pick the white chrysanthemums,
Puzzled by the frost
Of the early autumn time,
I by chance might pluck the flower.

Tsurenaku mieshi
Wakare yori

As the breaking light of day.

Asaborake
Ariake no tsuki to
Miru made ni
Yoshino no sato ni

At the break of day,
Just as though the morning moon
Lightened the dim scene,
Yoshino's village lay
In a haze of falling snow.

32. Harumichi no Tsuraki

Yama kawa ni
Kaze no kaketaru
Shigarami wa
Nagare mo aenu

In a mountain stream
There is a wattled barrier
Built by the busy wind.
Yet it's only maple leaves,
Powerless to flow away.

Hisakata no
Hikari nodokeki
Haru no hi ni
Shizu-gokoro naku
Hana no chiruran

Ki no Tomonori

In the peaceful light
Of the ever-shining sun
In the days of spring,
Why do the cherry's new-blown blooms
Scatter like restless thoughts?

Tare o ka mo
Shiru hito ni sen
Takasago no
Matsu mo mukashi no
Tomo nara naku ni

Who is still alive
When I have grown so old
That I can call my friends?

No longer offer comfort.

Furusato wa

The depths of the hearts
Of humankind cannot be known.
But in my birthplace
The plum blossoms smell the same
As in the years gone by.

In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home?

Shiratsuyu ni
Kaze no fukishiku
Aki no no wa
Tsuranuki tomenu
Tama zo chiri keru

In the autumn fields
When the heedless wind blows by
Over the pure-white dew,
How the myriad unstrung gems
Are scattered everywhere around

Wasuraruru
Mi o ba omowazu
Chikaite shi
Hito no inochi no

Though he forsook me,
For myself I do not care:
He made a promise,
And his life, who is forsworn,
Oh how pitiful that is.

Asajiu no
Ono no shinohara
Shinoburedo

Among the tangled reeds
Like my hidden love:

That I still love her so.

In my face it still appears--
My fond, secret love.
And now he questions me:
"Is something bothering you?"

Waga na wa madaki
Tachi ni keri
Hito shirezu koso
Omoi someshi ka

It is true I love,
But the rumor of my love
Had gone far and wide,
When people should not have known
That I had begun to love.

Chigiriki na
Katami ni sode o
Shibori tsutsu
Sue no Matsuyama

Our sleeves were wet with tears
As pledges that our love--
Will last until
Over Sue's Mount of Pines
Ocean waves are breaking.

Kurabureba
Mukashi wa mono o
Omowazari keri

I have met my love.
When I compare this present
With feelings of the past,
My passion is now as if
I have never loved before.

Au koto no
Taete shi nakuba
Nakanaka ni
Hito o mo mi o mo
Urami zaramashi

Fujiwara no Asatada

If it should happen
That we never met again,
I would not complain;
And I doubt that she or I
Would feel that we were left alone.

Aware to mo
Iu beki hito wa
Omooede
Mi no itazura ni
Narinu beki kana

Fujiwara no Koremasa

Surely there is none
Who will speak a pitying word
About my lost love.
Now my folly's fitting end
Is my own nothingness.

Yura no to o
Wataru funabito
Kaji o tae
Yukue mo shiranu

Like a mariner
Sailing over Yura's strait
With his rudder gone:
Where, over the deep of love,
The end lies, I do not know.

Yaemugura
Shigereru yado no
Sabishiki ni
Hito koso miene
Aki wa ki ni keri

The Monk Egyo

To the dim cottage
Overgrown with thick-leaved vines
In its loneliness
Comes the dreary autumn time:
But there no people come.

48. Minamoto no Shigeyuki

Kaze o itami
Iwa utsu nami no
Onore nomi
Kudakete mono o
Omou koro kana

Minamoto no Shigeyuki

Like a driven wave,
Dashed by fierce winds on a rock,
So am I: alone
And crushed upon the shore,
Remembering what has been.

49. Onakatomi no Yoshinobu Ason

Mikakimori
Eji no taku hi no
Yoru wa moe
Hiru wa kie tsutsu
Mono o koso omoe

Onakatomi no Yoshinobu

Like the guard's fires
Kept at the imperial gateway--
Burning through the night,
Dull in ashes through the day--
Is the love aglow in me.

50. Fujiwara no Yoshitaka

Kimi ga tame
Oshi karazarishi
Inochi sae
Nagaku mo gana to
Omoi keru kana

Fujiwara no Yoshitaka

For your precious sake,
Once my eager life itself
Was not dear to me.
But now it is my heart's desire
It may long, long years endure
