● 金子みすゞさん の詩情と英訳
（英文校閲：Frances Ford）
108.おおみそかと元日
兄さまはかけ取リ、
母さまはおかざり、
わたしはおせいぼ。
町じゅうに人が急いで、
町じゅうにお日があたって、
町じゅうになにか光って。
うす水いろの空の上、
とんびはしずかに輪をかいてた。
兄さまはもんつき、
かあさまもよそゆき、
わたしもたもとの。
町じゅうに人があそんで、
町じゆうにまつが立ってて、
町じゅうにあられがちってて。
うすずみいろの空の上、
とんびは大きく輪をかいていた。

The Last Day of the Year and New Year's Day
Everybody is busy:
My brother, with bill-collecting;
My mother, with (ornament of削除) New Year's decoration;
I, with delivery of year-end presents.
Everywhere in town:
People are in a hurry;
The sun shines;
Something glistens.
Up in a light-blue sky
a Siberian black kite was wheeling in silence.
Everybody dressed in his or her best:
My brother, in a (crested削除) ceremonial coat
[with the family crest挿入];
((crested ←this means to have feathers on top such as a crested
black bird 頭頂部の飾り羽))
My mother, in her Sunday best;
I, in a long-sleeved kimono.
Everywhere in town:
People enjoy themselves, (in削除) merrymaking;
New Year's decoration pines are put up at the gates;
It snows in pallets, scattering.
Up in a light-blue sky
A Siberian black kite was flying in a large circle.

109.しけだま
夕やけのなかに
しけだまが赤いよ
しけだまの下では、
べえこがあそぶよ
もういつからか、
あがったきリだよ。
だれもうわさも、
しなくなったよ、
タやけのそらに、
しけだまは赤いよ。
いつか来る、
いつか来る時化（しけ）をしらすよ。
（（しけだま＝暴風雨警報））

The Red Signal
the storm-warning signal is still red
against [the挿入] sunset colors;
Under the signal
calves are at play.
Since when [has挿入]
the signal (has削除) been kept up, I wonder;
Nobody talks about it
any more.
The storm-warning signal is still red
against [the挿入] sunset colors:
The red is a sign of stormy weather
which may hit us sooner or later.
