after the rain

 după ploaie

un fluture aterizează

pe trandafirul meu Sterling

ascult atentă

fiecare sunet al primăverii

after the rain

a butterfly lands

on my Sterling rose...

listening carefully

each sound of the spring

après la pluie

un papillon se pose

sur ma rose Sterling...

écouter attentivement

chaque bruit du printemps

ameagari

sutāringu gin no bara ni

chō ga tomaru

haruno ne o

mimi o sumasete

雨上がり

スターリング銀の薔薇

蝶がとまる

春の音を

耳を澄ませて
