the garden gate open...

 poarta la grădină deschisă...

mama culege frunze de viță de vie 

pentru saramură

the garden gate open...

mother picks young vine leaves

for brine canning

le portail du jardin s'ouvre...

maman cueille de jeunes feuilles de vigne

pour la mise en conserve

niwa no mon o hiraku...

hahaoya ga ensui kandzume-yō

wakai budō no ha o tsumu

庭の門が開く…

母親が塩水缶詰用

若いブドウの葉を摘む
