菩提樹の下で
ある王子の物語
七年前 宮殿の門を出た
答を求め
師を訪ね
灼光の下 砂の荒地を歩いた
月光の下 飢えを友にし
ひたすら歩いた
今
菩提樹の下 涼蔭に坐る
陽の光が 葉の隙間からこぼれ落ちる
風が 枝を揺らし葉を奏でる
七度
月光が 葉をゆさぶり
風が 香りとなり光となる
そして
朝の木漏れ日がふりそそぐ
風が体の中を通り抜けた
A Story of a Prince
Seven years ago, passed through the palace gate
Seeking an answer
Seeking a teacher
Under blazing light,walking across the sandy terrain
Under moonlight, keeping hunger as a companion
Walking on, and on
Now
Sitting beneath the bodhi tree, in its cool shade
Sunlight falling through the gaps between the leaves
The wind stirs the branches, the leaves begin to play
Seven times
Moonlight swaying the leaves
The wind becomes fragrance, becoming light
And then—
Morning rays pouring down through the leaves
The wind passed through the body
