Angel’s Dance
Shigeru Kuzuhara
★
Ah, the angel returneth,
Returneth into the heavens dancing,
Dancing the angel’s dance!
Her sleeves are flapping,
Flapping lightly in the winds,
And the bright morning sun
Is glittering upon her wings.
Passing through the green pine-groves,
Into the heavens she ascends;
Into the mists she disappears.
Oh, how they fade away,
The pine-groves so green
On the beloved Miho’s shore!
Ye, the village fishermen,
Good luck unto you,
Much luck unto you
For the days and days to come!
Even the beautiful Mt. Fuji of fame
Under the floating mists
Doth disappear.
