Arrival - Poetry
昨夜、
僕らの笑い声が残る部屋に
原っぱの虫たちはバラードを添えた。
快晴、べた凪。
叶わなかった安直なお願いごとは、不思議にも心地が良く、鼻にツンと来る春風に乗って、去って行った。
汽笛は、いつもと同じ様にやってきた。
波間を這い、
漁師の家の土間を抜け、
子どもたちの声を掻き消し、
オオコウモリの眠りを遮り、
新岳の火口にこだました。
そして、
君が静寂を覚えた頃、
僕は別れを知った。
さっと、
水平線の先に待つ誰かの理想に沈まぬように、汽笛は歌になってゆくのだろう。
今、
君が飾った虹が太く、強く、潮風に魔くように
船は今日二度目の汽笛を鳴らした。
(Translation)
Last night,
Insects of the fields accompanied in ballads,
A room which echoed the remnants of our laughter.
Stillness.
A cloudless sky.
Even the simple wishes which never came true
Strangely, in my calmness, grew distant,
Like spring winds, lightly stinging my nostrills.
The arrival of the steam whistle was as it has always done.
It traversed between the swell of waves,
Past the dirt floor of the fisherman's home,
Cut through the voices of children, And interrupt the selep of the fruit bat,
Until it finally settled in the crater of the Shindake Volcano.
And,
When it taught you a meaning of silence,
I learned this is the farewell.
The whistle, will likely go on to become a song,
So as not to drown in the ideals of someone Who waits across the horizon.
Now,
There is rainbow you have adorned over the sea, And swaying in the salty wind,
The ship sounds the steam whistle for the second time today.

Written by Rintaro Mikami
[First Fish]
Reflect in bubbles,
then all their words had gone.
Beats had taken him out to the big great blue.
If I could draw your light turquoise,
this ceiling would let me fall asleep.
A boy is still there
and waiting for
reflection in the bubbles.
