Gedicht
Shuntaro Tanikawa
Toba 3
The old woman is looking at the sand as she gathers brushwoodI am looking at the horizon from my hotel window
You, who have lived through hunger,
please go ahead and torture me
I have always lived with my belly full
Even now I am belching
The least I can wish is to deserve your hatred
Old woman, what could my words do for you?
I do not wish to atone for anything any more
What strangles me is what you have in your hand
the horizon you will not look at
I hear Clementi’s sonatina faintly
No one speaks to me
What deep comfort

粗朶拾う老婆の見ているのは砂ホテルの窓から私の見ているのは水平線
餓えながら生きてきた人よ
私を拷問するがいい
私はいつも満腹して生きてきて
今もげっぷしている
私はせめて憎しみに価いしたい
老婆よ
もう何も償おうとは思わない
私を縊るのはあなたの手にある
あなたの見ない水平線だ
かすかにクレメンティのソナチネが聞こえる
誰も私に語りかけない
なんという深い寛ぎ
