Late autumn song (@LiliaHagane)

 

In this night,

A frosty wind knocked

On my window.

Whirlwind swirled

Yellow-brown leaves

In the tune of a waltz.

Covering alleys,

They sang softly

The song of Autumn...

Dry winds (@LiliaHagane)

 

A foggy veil hid

The horizon yesterday.

But what is now?

Fierce whirlwinds bend the bare branches

Of trees. Clear and cold...

Autumn in my garden (@LiliaHagane)

 Linden's golden leaves
Are shining rays of the sun.
White chrysanthemum
Is blooming in the garden.
Late autumn dream...

Whisper from the darkness

 

The last candle of hope burns out;

When there is no fire, darkness will reign!..

Behind the Gates is only a demons route;

Unsheathed sword, the hour of battle again!..

…..

Thousand shadows are dancing

In the elder forest now!

Their whisper is enhanced;

The howl wolves and cry of a crow!

The roar of the primordial wind

Walks over the snow-clad peaks;

Everything around is not blind,

Everything living here speaks!..

...

Away!..

...Don’t fear all your nightmares!

Beware!..

...Keep the soul on your life path!..

Affair…

...Overcome the abyss of despair!..

...No one escapes your righteous wrath!!!

In this game you are a miserable flare,

In the mists of time you will not find peace!..

So take care of your precious glare

And the endless fight will not surcease!

Away!..

...Don’t fear all your nightmares!

Beware!..

...Keep the soul on your life path!..

Affair…

...Overcome the abyss of despair!..

...No one escapes your righteous wrath!!!

Under the twinkling stars... | Під зоряним сяйвом... | Под звёздным мерцаньем...

 

Vermilion foliage.

Dark blue sky.

I'm coming back to home...

To my one and only...

Under the twinkling stars again...

***

Червоне листя.

Темно-синє небо.

Під зоряним сяйвом

Повертаюсь назад

До коханої, рідної...

***

Алые листья.

Тёмно-синее небо.

Под звёздным мерцаньем

Возвращаюсь домой

К моей любимой, родной…

日の暮れる
日は無けれども
秋の暮れ

Hi no kureru
Hi wa nakeredomo
Ali no kure

The day is burning out.
The sun has gone down.
Autumn nightfall...

Догорает день.
Уж скрылось солнце.
Осенние сумерки...

Догора день.
Зайшло за обрій сонце.
Осінні сутінки...

Harvest moon.
The shadows of the pines
Glide across the tatami...

Осеннее полнолуние.
Скользят по татами
Тени сосен...

Осіння повня.
Ковзають по татамі
Тіні від сосен...

高桑闌更 (Takakuwa Ranko)

煙り帯びて
小村の柳
日暮たり

Kemuri obite
Koson no yanagi
Hi kuretari

***

A willow tree in
A far village is covered in smoke.
The dusk...

***

Дымом окутана
Ива в дальнем селе.
Сходят сумерки...

***

Димом вкрита
Верба в далекому селі.
Сходять сутінки...

Does it maybe
It is she walking on leaves?
The one I'm waiting for...

***

По опавшей листве
Та ли шагает,
Кого ожидаю?

***

По опалому листі
Може та йде,
На кого чекаю?
