Bashō

 

Basho
tá seisean leis
imithe as radharc
 

 

Basho
he too
has disappeared
 

 

Basho
și el
a dispărut

Leagan Rómáinise: Olimpia Iacob

Bashō

 

    thit folús
    de mhullach crainn
    i mblaosc chiocáide

                (Gaeilge: GR)

  frae a tree tap
 tuimness drappit doon
 in a cicada shall

(Béarla na hAlban: John McDonald)

Bashō

seansráidbhaile . . .

níl tigh ann

gan a chrann dátphlumaí féin aige

Haiku le Bashō

scairt an phiasúin!

cumha orm
i ndiaidh mo thuismitheoirí

Deir Robert Aitken faoin haiku seo:

“The day labourer and the royal princess bow to their parents before breakfast and light incense in front of their pictures after they are gone. Pheasants will do a diversionary dance to ward off a predator endangering their young, and they symbolise parents in Japanese culture  . . .”

Matsuo Bashō (松尾 芭蕉, 1644–1694)

cad a mhothaíonn na héisc,
na héin, n'fheadar -
deireadh na bliana
