Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. Autumn leaves, which have no songs, flutter and fall to the ground with a sigh.
Troupe of little vagrants of the world, please leave your footprints in my words.
Troupe of little vagrants of the world, please leave your footprints between my lines!
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
It is the tears of the earth that keep her smile in bloom.
Tears of the earth make her smile bloom like a flower.
The boundless desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.
The vast desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass, but she laughs and shakes her head and flies away.
