After day has dawned,
Still, in truth, I hate the sight
Of the morning's coming light.

The emptiness of that night?

That I should end my life.

Through the passing night,
Till I saw the lonely moon
Traverse her descending path.

Nor crossed its bridge of heaven.

In the middle of the night

The guards are never fooled.

Stands a cherry tree.

Upon his arm in the dark
Of a short spring night,

Gentle knocks are heard,
And, into my round rush-hut,
Enters autumn's roaming breeze.

Famous are the waves
That break on Takashi beach
In noisy arrogance.

On the slope below the peak
Cherries are in flower.
Oh, let the mountain mists
Not arise to hide the scene.

Hito o Hatsuse no
Yama oroshi

It was not for this
I prayed at the holy shrine:
That she would become
As pitiless and as cold
As the storms on Hase's hills.

New life to the thirsty plant,
So did your vow to me.
Yet the year has passed away,
And autumn has come again.

As I sail and look around,
It appears to me

Are the ever shining sky.

Though a swift stream is
Divided by a boulder
In its headlong flow,
Though divided, on it rushes,
And at last unites again.

Guard of Suma Gate,
From your sleep, how many nights
Have you awakened
At the cries of sanderlings,
Flying from Awaji Island?

See how clear and bright
Is the moonlight finding ways
Through the riven clouds
That, with drifting autumn wind,
Gracefully float in the sky.

Mono o koso omoe

Lady Horikawa

Is it forever
That he hopes our love will last?
He did not answer.
And now my daylight thoughts
Are as tangled as my black hair.

In textul japonez a zis ceva de inima (kokoro) dar cuvantul nu apare in engleza. Iata o dovada ca daca as incerca sa traduc din engleza risc sa ma indepartez prea tare de original. De altfel unul din motivele pt care am tinut sa invat cateva limbi straine a fost si acela ca voiam sa stiu cum suna poeziile in original. Marturisesc ca in engleza am avut uneori dificultati in a intelege, nu si in franceza.

Reamintesc ca varianta nipona a poemelor 1-10, precum si variantele in japoneza si engleza ale poemelor 81-90 se gasesc aici, iar ale poemelor 11-50 se gasesc aici

Intr-un articol viitor voi publica poemele 91-100 impreuna cu ilustratiile lui Hokusai.
