Haiku by Željko Funda : “birds have feathers, lizards have the sun ” haibunnies
In May, 2017, Željko Funda, kindly presented his haiku book “birds have feathers, lizards have the sun ” haibunnies to me.
Željko Funda is also one of the authors who kindly and delightedly sent his nice haiku to the World Haiku Series 2019.
Firstly, let me show you a few pages of his book, with Japanese translations of haiku put here.
1. Spring
an orchard
butterflies and petals
flying together
Everything wakes up in spring, but without any alarm clock.
果樹園
蝶と花びら
一緒に飛んでいる
she
her smiles disappearing
with a butterfly
“A smile is like a butterfly: you take a look and it’s already gone”, says grannie.
彼女
笑顔が消える
蝶とともに
2. Summer
returning home
a firefly throwing light
upon my way
One firefly is not enough for reading if it’s not fat enough.
家に帰る時
ホタルがライトを向ける
私の道に
a clear night
a firefly disappearing
in the Moon
You can’t turn off a firefly because throwing light is its job.
晴れた夜
ホタルが消える
月の中に
3. Autmn
silence in the woods
a beech leaf falling here
an oak leaf there
Once a leaf stroke my face. It didn’t hurt because it was a bloodless crash.
森の沈黙
橅の葉がここに落ちる
樫の葉はそこに
October
down the hero’s bronze face
rain pouring
Sometimes rain washes the world for one day, sometimes for two days, and sometimes it likes its job so much that it can’t stop.
十月
英雄のブロンズ像の顔に
雨が降り注ぐ
4. Winter
winter morning
all among snowflakes
wishes and greetings
Christmas warms up, but only in your heart.
冬の朝
降りしきる雪の中で
願いと挨拶
March
the first snowdrops disappearing
in snow
Snow can’t do any harm to snowdrops because they are snow flowers.
三月
最初のスノードロップが消える
雪の中に
5. Animals
time to rest
with a ladybird on his back
the dog enters his house
Dog is a good guard, but not from mosquitos.
休息する時間
テントウムシを背負って
犬が家に入る
country cemetery
a snail is almost reaching
the top of a cross
Snail has two feelers, but they are not for feeling, they are for looking.
田舎の墓地
カタツムリが近づいている
十字架のてっぺんに
6 Sea, Things, Silence
a night train
the carriage windows throwing light
on the graveyard crosses
“Dead people live in us”, says grannie. “Even if we’re sleeping?” asks grandpa. “Then they are taking a rest from us”, says grannie.
夜汽車
客車の窓が光を向ける
墓地の十字架に
forest
leaves falling
through silence
My ears hurt because of silence. I get focused to hear something, and nothing shows up.
森林
落葉
静寂を通して
