かわいい、to hear your nephew read the poem and moreover this is a lovely poem. I have had this poem in English translation as a child, long before I even know it was written by Miyazawa Kenji. Thank you for this bonus. By the way, I'm still reading the previous pages of the short story, taking my time, getting lost in all the layers and indeed if you could read and understand it is full depth can I see it is beautifully written.
Thank you, I couldn't put all the hiragana in Kanji yet, but what a fun exercise. I wanted again to have fun reading so I went down a level but as bedtime reading, I really enjoy Kami Sama 神様 a novel written by Hiromi Kawakami, known by all of you, as guess. I'm not sure I'm even reading the original but it's was in this book you probably all know: "Read Real Japanese Fiction: Short Stories by Contemporary Writers". I bought it when I just started Japanese, but only now enjoy the first story. I mean not having to look every word up. If any of you want something easy, I can highly recommend this. Maybe to easy for some, but this book also has more challenging stories. You probably know this book already, but I wanted to share this information. I think the important thing is to keep on learning and keep going on.
OMG!!!! He's the cutest!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
haha very cute right??
Not the first time I go through this one, but here's my try!
雨にも負けず
風にも負けず
雪にも夏の暑さにも負けぬ
丈夫な体を持ち
慾はなく
決して怒らず
いつも静かに笑っている
一日に玄米四合と
味噌と少しの野菜を食べ
あらゆることを
自分を勘定に入れずに
よく見聞きし分かり
そして忘れず
野原の松の林の陰の
小さな萱ぶきの小屋にいて
東に病気の子供あれば
行って看病してやり
西に疲れた母あれば
行ってその稲の束を負い
南に死にそうな人あれば
行って怖がらなくてもいいと言い
北に喧嘩や訴訟があれば
つまらないからやめろと言い
ひどり(日照り?)の時は涙を流し
寒さの夏はおろおろ歩き
みんなにでくの坊と呼ばれ
褒められもせず
苦にもされず
そういう者に
私はなりたい
perfect! there is indeed a debate about whether ひどり was in fact meant as ひでり or pehaps as ひとり…
cute kid!
雨にも負けず
風にも負けず
雪にも夏の暑さにも負けぬ
丈夫な体を持ち
慾はなく
決して瞋らず (怒る)
いつも静かに笑っている
一日二玄米四合と (720ml)
味噌と少しの野菜を食べ
あらゆる事を
自分を勘定に入れずに
よく見聞きし分かり
そして忘れず
野原の松の林の蔭の
小さな茅葺きの小屋にいて
東に病気の子供あれば
行って看病してやり
西に疲れた母あれば
行ってその稲の棘を負い
南に死にサウナ人あれば
行って[こはがら]なくてもいいと言い ??
北に喧嘩や訴訟あれば
詰まらないからやめろと言い
日取りのときは涙を流し
寒さの夏はおろおろ歩き
皆にデクのボート呼ばれ **(not sure)
褒められもせず
国もされず
サウイフモノニ ？？(no clue)
私はなりたい
haha thanks!
and almost perfect, few mistakes. for instance not 国 but 苦に. サウイフモノニ → そういう者に
感謝したいです
