青春の日の光景 尾根先紅野
あれは 青春の日の光景だった
村の中学の
木造の校舎の
校庭から帰路への道筋の
橋の脇の 背の高い木々の新緑が
大きく揺れながら
みずみずしい光と音を
ざわめかせていた
チロチロと
きらめく小粒のダイヤのような光と
そして
－－－そして
濁音を排した
さざ波のような音とーーー
A Scene from a Day of My Youth
'twas a scene from a day
Of my youth ...
The deep green leaves of the tall trees
Were swaying powerfully
By the side of a bridge
Along the road from the schoolyard,
On my way home from
The wooden schoolhouse of
Our village junior high.
Fresh light was playing
In the deep green leaves, which were
Rustling, rustling, rustling.
Scintillation of sparkling light
Like small diamonds
And
... And
The sound of rippling waves
Completely devoid of
Voiced consonants ...
