Reima’s Shards

Knichad continued to sing. - Once, in the summer, at dawn, I peeked into a neighboring garden, There, a young Nihonka Was picking cherries. I blush, I turn pale, I suddenly wanted to say: "Let's stand by the river And greet the summer dawns." Green sakura, round leaf, I am in love and embarrassed before you, Green sakura, yes, beautiful sakura, Yes, green and round! And the young Nihonka Answered the young man in harmony: "We are gathering a rebel Nihon army. Today, the rebels Left their homes early, The road awaits you To the rebels in the dense forest." Green sakura, round leaf, I am in love and embarrassed before you, Green sakura, yes, beautiful sakura, Yes, green and round! And the young Nihonka Walked along the path into the forest. I saw sadness in that, That she didn't invite me. I often thought of the young Nihonka At night... Suddenly, I met my Nihonka In the forest, among a crowd of rebels! Green sakura, round leaf, Hello, Kirishima, my dear, Green sakura, yes, beautiful sakura, Yes, green and round!
