目の前のマメザクラにいきなり来て吸蜜した

スミレに飛び移って吸蜜した

前回の続き。

その♂は、マメザクラに来て、オオヤマザクラ-スミレ、
そしてまたオオヤマザクラに飛びついていた。

真下に林道のカーブ、
垂れ下がるオオヤマザクラの枝の手前に貧弱な
マメザクラの枝がある。

自分はカエデの幹に尻を預けて
チョウを待った。

God, our merciful father
I'm wrapped in a robe of light
Clothed in your glory
That spreads it's wings over my soul
May I be worthy
Amen

There's not a morning I begin without
A thousand questions running through my mind
That I don't try to find the reason
And the logic in the world that God designed
The reason why
A bird was given wings
If not to fly
And praise the sky
With every song it sings
What's right or wrong
Where I belong
Within the scheme of things

And why have eyes that see and arms that reach
Unless you're meant to know there's something more?
If not to hunger for the meaning of it all
Then tell me what a soul is for?
Why have the wings unless you're meant to fly?
And tell me please, why have a mind
If not to question why?

Will Someone Ever Look at Me That Way? 

Music written by Michel Legrand
Lyrics written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

Producer: Michel Legrand, Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

First release

収録アルバム
Barbra Streisand
Yentl - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Columbia, 1983


Look at how he looks at her
Will someone ever look at me that way?
Full of all the feelings and the soft
Unspoken words that lovers say?
I thought that I knew every single
Look and sweet expression on his face
Yet this is one that I don't recognize
Although I've sat and studied him for hours
But now I see how love completely occupies
A pair of eyes

[Verse 2]
See the way they gaze at her
Like slaves, they follow everywhere she goes
Do my eyes forget themselves
And do I ever look at him
And smile in such a way
That what I'm feeling shows?
Sometimes I have the feeling
Everybody knows
And even though it's crazy
Still I can't help wondering
If I'll ever live to see the day
When by some miracle of miracles
He'll turn around
And look at me that way

On Rainy Afternoons
 
Music written by Lalo Schifrin
Lyrics written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

First recording and first release by Stan Getz.
歌詞付きの歌唱はストライサンドが初

Producer: Gary Klein


収録アルバム
Barbra Streisand
Wet
Columbia, 1979


On rainy afternoons
When memories cloud the skies
The wind is filled
With our goodbyes
On rainy afternoons
We used to slip away
With rain and love
We'd spent the day

What went wrong?
I wish I knew
Was it me?
Or was it you?

I wonder, you think you've said farewell
Because you've said goodbye
You walk away, your eyes are dry
But the wind remembers all our favorite tunes
On rainy afternoons
On rainy afternoons

バーブラ・ストライサンド Barbra Streisand
April 24, 1942 (age 84)

ギフチョウ 2026-16

向こうの杉の林縁にふわりとチョウが見え、
探すと、新鮮なメスがいた。

今日はじめて見るヒメカンアオイは
6畳ほどの広さに密生していた。
この地域の葉は斑入りが普通である。


戻ってきたメスが新芽を探して転々と飛ぶが、
全く落ち着かない。
表面上はボクは見つけられなかった。
木漏れ日が当たらない地表は日陰の世界だ。

脚で触れて古葉と分かる?と
離れる、その繰り返し。


ときどき休む。

やがて梢に舞い上がっていった。

今春一番の遠出になった。
総距離がそうでもないわりに上り下りの山道の運転は疲れる。
