娘十二ヶ月揃之内 十二月
「雪中恋路」(せっちゅうこいじ)
夕闇迫る吹雪の中、彼に会いたい一身で出掛けたものの、寒さが一段と厳しくなる。
着物の裾(すそ)が乱れ指先が凍え縮む。
それが恋路であろう。
娘の気持を知ってか知らぬか、帯には寒椿の花が咲く。 |

December, Settyuu Koiji
(Passion in the Snow)
Dusk - and the girl wants to see her boyfriend so badly that she goes out
in a snowstorm, though it grows ever colder. The hem of her kimono blows, and her fingertips become numb with the cold - that's the price
of loving someone.
Winter camellia flowers bloom on her obi sash as if in empathy with her feelings of love. |
