Chuya Nakahara: An Early Spring Stroll / 中原中也 早春散歩
Even if the skies have cleared up, in between the buildings shades would still be lying,
In spring, early spring makes the heart flutter and bend
As if it were some gauze-like fabric or it might still
Be some handkerchief-like small piece of cloth
Tear apart our hearts
In shreds and scraps, may them be scattered by the breathing breeze
Already I, as though bygone times are hardly ever existent
Loosely feel like facing leastwise a few passersby,
Blowing ahead through the middle of winds
Casting gaze of an exotic kind,
As if something hard and fast
Also as if something erased by mere drafts in the cracks
Thereby with such a solitary heart embraced,
Over another year that sees spring come around
Over this lenient, yet genuine revisit of spring hereby
As sunlight bounces onto earth as chilly wind whistles away
While walking on an embankment, while viewing the skies afar
I ponder, I who is inured even to pondering itself, I ponder......
空は晴れてても、建物には蔭があるよ、
春、早春は心なびかせ、
それがまるで薄絹ででもあるやうに
ハンケチででもあるように
我等の心を引千切(ひきちぎ)り
きれぎれにして風に散らせる
私はもう、まるで過去がなかつたかのやうに
少くとも通つてゐる人達の手前さうであるかの如くに感じ、
風の中を吹き過ぎる
異国人のやうな眼眸(まなざし)をして、
確固たるものの如く、
また隙間風にも消え去るものの如く
さうしてこの淋しい心を抱いて、
今年もまた春を迎へるものであることを
ゆるやかにも、茲(ここ)に春は立返つたのであることを
土の上の日射しをみながらつめたい風に吹かれながら
土手の上を歩きながら、遠くの空を見やりながら
僕は思ふ、思ふことにも慣れきつて僕は思ふ……
