結婚式で、「詩を読みたい（読んでもらいたい）」というCJの突然なるわがままに対応する為に、
結婚式1週間前に大騒ぎして探しました。
結論、「日本人だけだったら、この詩を朗読してもらいたいなぁ」と思っていた祝婚歌を日本語と英語で友人に読んでもらうことに。
だけど、ネットに載っている英訳がなんとなくシックリ来なかったので、
自分自身の勝手な英訳をしてみました。
Epithalamium
By Hiroshi Yoshino
For the two to stay harmonious
It is better to stay simple and naïve
It is better not to be too wise
Being wise will not last, and it is better to know that.
Don’t aim for perfection, For perfection is unnatural
It is better to pretend ignorance
It is better for one of you to be humorous
Even a little foolish.
If you find yourselves being critical to each other
It is better you question later, whether you had the right to criticize
When you are being righteous, It is better to be a little modest
Know that when you are being righteous, You can easily hurt others
Don’t get wound up with unnecessary nerves
Of wanting to be wise or righteous
It is better to bask in the light, taking it in slowly and peacefully.
There can be days where you feel the breeze that caresses you,
Recalling the soul that lies within, filling your heart with emotions
How nice it would be - if no words were needed for the two,
On why the heart fills with such emotions.
