first morning

 prima dimineață

din luna de miere -

împărţim 

acest drum de toamnă

spre noi înșine

first morning

of honeymoon -

we share

this autumn road

to ourselves

le premier matin

de la lune de miel -

nous partageons

cette route d'automne

à nous-mêmes

最初の朝

新婚旅行

私たちは

この秋の道と

自分たちに分け合う
