何處へ行く

Morio Hayashida

魂が

雁になつて飛び去る

北はつめたい國

復と還り來ぬ

南無阿彌陀佛

南無阿彌陀怫

俺も人間だ

心はあわだつ

闇夜 寒夜に

身がぞつとする

 

Where to Go

translated by Kenji C. Liu

The soul

becomes a goose, flies away —

the north is a cold country —

it leaves and doesn’t return

Namu Amida Butsu

Namu Amida Butsu

I’m human too

The heart bubbles

Dark night wintry night

the body shudders in it
