「蜂が蜜を吸うところで」





「蜂が蜜を吸うところで」
"Where the Bee Sucks"
by Shakespeare
[The Tempest] Act V, scene I

Lyrics:

Where the bee sucks, there suck I;
In a cowslip's bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat's back I do fly
After summer merrily.
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.


「恋する若者と娘がいた」
"It Was a Lover and His Lass"
by Shakespeare
[As You Like It] Act V, scene III

Lyrics:

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green cornfield did pass

In springtime, the only pretty ringtime,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.

Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie
In springtime, &c. ... ...

「来たれ、死よ」
"Come Away, Death". by Shakespeare.
Twelfth Night, Act II, scene IV

Lyrics:

CLOWN:
Come away, come away, death,
And in sad cypress let me be laid;
Fly away, fly away breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
My shroud of white, stuck all with yew,
O, prepare it!
My part of death, no one so true
Did share it.

Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be strown;
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown:
A thousand thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O, where
Sad true lover never find my grave,
To weep there!

DUKE ORSINO:
There's for thy pains.

CLOWN:
No pains, sir: I take pleasure in singing, sir.

DUKE ORSINO:
I'll pay thy pleasure then.

CLOWN:
Truly, sir, and pleasure will be paid, one time or another.

「今、深紅の花びらは眠り」
"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal", Poem by Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)

Lyrics:

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font:
The firefly wakens: waken thou with me.

now folds thy lily all her sweetness up
and sinks into the bossom of the lake
so fold thyself, thy dearest thou,
and sink into my bossom
and be lost in me.
