Gedicht
Shuntaro Tanikawa
JUST THE WAY IT IS
A dear deceased friend isagain at a loss
in front of a travel bag
In the futile search for our souls
we stay behind
sitting in front of almond-flavored tofu desserts
The rain has stopped
the sky is made lighter by the sun behind thin clouds
stock quotes flicker in the town
Everything moves on
just the way it is
heading toward memories

あるがまま
あるがまま
親しい死者がまた旅行鞄を前に
途方に暮れて
タマシイを探しあぐねて
杏仁豆腐を前に
生き残っている私たち
雨がやみ
薄陽に空は明るみ
市況が街にまたたく
すべてはあるがまま
動いていく
思い出に向かって
