Poem 詩
「夏の海」
中原中也（1907年〜1937年)
輝く波の美しさ
空は静かに慈しむ
輝く波の美しさ
人なき海の夏の昼
心の喘ぎしずめとや
波はやさしく打ちよする
古き悲しみ洗えとや
波は金色 打ちよする
そは和やかに 穏やかに
昔に聴きし声なるか
あまりに近く響くなる
このもの伝わぬ風景は
見守りつつは死にゆきし
父の眼と思わるる
忘れいたりしその眼
今しは見いで なつかしき
輝く波の美しさ
空は静かに慈しむ
輝く波の美しさ
人なき海の夏の昼
The Ocean in Summer
Nakahara Chuya (1907-1937)
Elegantly, the waves sparkle and shine
Silently and lovingly, the sky looks down upon the waves
Elegantly, the waves sparkle and shine
On a quiet summer day
As if to comfort the wheezing of one’s heart
The waves gently lap upon the shore
As if to wash away the pain of the past
The golden waves pound against the shore
The waves are mild, yet firm
Like a familiar voice from the distant past
And they continue to reverberate nearby
In this wordless, silent landscape
As if passing on while watching over me
The waves remind me of Father’s eyes
That long forgotten pair of eyes
How I longed to see them again
Elegantly, the waves sparkle and shine
Silently and lovingly, the sky looks down upon the waves
Elegantly, the waves sparkle and shine
On a quiet summer day
