waiting

așteptându-te 

pe banca noastră 

de sub păr -

vântul cară de colo-colo

chihlimbarele toamnei

waiting

under the pear tree

on our bench…

the wind blows back and forth

the autumn ambers

sous le poirier

je t'attend sur notre banc -

le vent 

souffle en arrière

les ambres d'automne

nashino konoshita

watashitachino benchi de

anata o matteimasu

akino kohaku o 

kaze ga zengo ni fuku

梨の木の下

私たちのベンチで

あなたを待っています

秋の琥珀を

風が前後に吹く

Warten

unterm Birnbaum

auf unserer Bank…

der Wind weht sie hin und her

die herbstlichen Gelbtöne
