Letter of Farewell to my Wife

Yiying my darling,

With this letter I bid you a final farewell! I am writing this as a living person on earth but I will become a ghost in the underworld by the time you read this. Ink and tears flow in equal measure as I write. I can hardly go on and want to put my pen away, but I am afraid you would misunderstand my heart and think that I am so callous to forsake you or I seek death without knowing your wish for me to stay alive. So I have to overcome my sorrow to explain.

I love you to death! And love gives me the courage to face death. Ever since I met you, I have often wished that all the lovers in the world would find their fulfillment. But the reality is that the land is permeated in blood, and vicious thugs roam the street. How many families can claim true happiness? Just like Tang Poet Bai Juyi cries for the misfortune of a concubine, I could not be like the ancient sages who held themselves aloof from the ordeals of the common people. It is said: 'benevolence is to take care of the old as you would your own parents, to take care of the young as you would your own children.' As my heart is filled with love for you, that love makes me yearn for helping others to love whom they love. That is why I dare to die and to leave you behind. I believe that as you understand my heart, you would, even in your tears of sorrow, be glad to sacrifice my life and your well-being, for the long lasting happiness of all the people. Please do not be sad!

Do you remember? In one evening about four or five years ago, I once said” if one of us were to die, I wish that you would die before me.” At first you were angry when you heard of it. After I gently explained my intention, you still did not agree but could not refute me. What I meant was, I knew you would not have been able to bear the sadness of my death if I were to die first. My death would have left you in a cruel agony. I would rather that it was me who would bear the sadness of our separation in death. Alas, it is I who will have to die first!

I can never ever forget about you! I can visualize our family residence in Back Street, and mentally enter the front door, walk through the hallway, pass both the front and back parlors, into the smaller parlor after a few turns, and the adjacent bedroom where we have lived together. Remember that in the third or fourth months into our marriage, on a winter night of a full moon, sparse plum branches outside window sieved moonlight into exquisite shadows. Side by side, hand in hand, softly we talked. Every experience was shared. and every feeling was exchanged! Oh the memories left tear stains on my face!. I also remember about six or seven years ago, after I returned home from a period of desertion, you tearfully told me: 'you must let me know next time you go on a long trip. I will accompany you wherever you go.' I promised you then that I would. A little more than ten days ago when I came back home, I had wanted to tell you about this journey. However, when I was with you, I could not bring it up. Especially since you were pregnant, I was afraid you could not bear the sadness. All I could do was to take refuge in alcohol to inebriate myself. Alas, my wrenching agony at that time was beyond words.

It is my true wish to live out our lives together, but based on the current state of affairs - natural disasters can kill us, thieves and robbers can kill us, the upheaval in the breaking up of China by foreign powers can kill us, corrupt and despotic officials who abuse people can kill us. Our generation lives in a country where death can strike people at any time, anywhere. When that happens to one of us, could you or I bear to just helplessly watch the other die? Even if we escape death, what is to prevent us from being forced to separate from each other until our longing eyes become blind and our yearning bones turn into fossils? The pain of separation is worse than death. And just like a broken mirror cannot be restored, families separated hardly end in a happy reunion. We are fortunate to be alive and healthy today. But the number of people who had wished to live yet perished, and couples who had wished to be together yet were separated, is countless. Can true lovers like us bear with this? This is why I have made the decision to lay down my life, even if it means losing you. I will have no regrets. The success of of the revolution will be on the shoulders of my comrades. Yixin is five years old now, he will be a grown man soon. Please raise him well and make him like me. I suspect the life in your womb is a girl. If so, she surely will be like you, and I will be very glad. Or maybe it is a boy, then please educate him to follow my aspirations. So there will be two of me after my death. Great! Great! Our family will become very poor. Poverty is not a great hardship for a life lived simply.

I have no more words. If I should hear your wails from afar in the underworld, I ought to answer with wails of my own. I do not believe in ghosts, but now I wish they do exist. Nowadays people also claim that telepathy is possible via bio-electrical signals. I also hope the claim is true. So after my death, my spirit will still be at your side and you do not feel the sorrow of losing your spouse.

I had not revealed to you my aspirations. It is my fault. But if I had told you, I was afraid that you would have been worried about me every day. I could willingly sacrifice my life for my country a hundred times, but I cannot bear the thoughts of your worrying about me. I love you most deeply, and I am always anxious that I have not thought for you carefully enough. You are fortunate to marry be, but are unfortunately to have been born in today's China. I am so fortunate to have you, but so unfortunate to have been born in today's China. In the end, I cannot tend only to my self interest.

Alas! So much love, so small a handkerchief, and so many feelings from the heart left unsaid, but you can glean the rest. I can no longer see you now! I know you won't be able to let me go. Will you see me often in your dreams? I am tumultuous!

Motohiro Hata - 聖なる夜の贈り物 (Seinaru yoru no okurimono) dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

2024.10.06.

Holy Night Gift

The cold winter fairy tale I heard when I was little
I don't need a present
Please give me your smile

This heavy atmosphere doesn't suit the glittering streets
We've been busy lately
and the two of us are starting to miss each other

I'm sorry I can't be honest with you
Even though I always love you so much

Pure white snow suddenly stops on long eyelashes
You looked down, but you looked up at the gift the sky gave you
A warm light lights up in the bitter loneliness
Don't let the warmth disappear
We gently held hands

Walking along the tree-lined avenue through this third winter
If Christmas has passed
This year is already over

I wish we were together forever
I wonder if you are the same

The cotton-like snow brings silence
I grabbed the gift in my pocket as if checking it
I know it's a little bit too formal for a holy night
But I feel like I can tell you all my feelings now

Like pure white snow, I'll give it to you honestly
I swear to the gift the sky gave me, these once-only words
Share your loneliness and light the light of kindness
I hope you will nod
We'll always hold hands together

Motohiro Hata - 海辺のスケッチ (Umibe no sketch) dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

Seaside sketch

Colorful parasols are blooming sparsely in the distance
The sky divided by the breakwater is a cool light blue

Loneliness creeps up on me in a gentle breeze
I can never grasp the sun swaying in the waves

Summer is coming to an end, and I still can't tell you anything
I tell myself we're just friends, and I keep my distance so we don't break apart

Like bubbles, expectations float and then burst
Once the fireworks burn out, they are buried in the sand and sleep

I remember the profile of you staring at him that day
It's so beautiful that even the scenery that looks like a picture postcard is obscured

In the summer sunshine, so that you wouldn't know my confused heart
Even if I remained silent and closed my eyelids, I couldn't erase the afterimage of you

Summer is ending, somewhere I'm refusing to change
Remaining bound by this unbreakable feeling, I move on to the next season

VIA Vesyolye rebyata - В последний раз (V posledniy raz) dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

2024.10.06.

For the last time

Everything reminds me of you, and you're nowhere.
Only the world around us that saw us both together is left,
For the last time.

A room with a balcony and a window, is bright right now,
As clear as day, the one who saw us both together,
For the last time.

REFRAIN:
The time will pass, and you will forget everything that happened,
with you and I, with you and I.
No, I won't wait for you but know that I loved you
For the last time, for the last time,
for the last time, for the last time.

Days will pass, I don't know, how many winters and how many years.
Maybe, I could be happy with someone else,
Or maybe, not.

Let nothing last forever under the moon,
But not for an hour,
I won't forget the day when you were with me,
For the last time.

Refrain x2

For the last time...

The Little Star

Seeing the little star in that little country, it's just a little moment but it...
.deeply impressed me in the faraway room in the faraway town
Lovers beautiful encounter, the joyful singing of children,
...world's wonders, future premonitions dreamed by someone

Including the star too, it's all for you the pure white snow...
...covers the pavement, the roofs and everything...
...are my gifts to you sent from the sky
So sweet right? Sounds like a fairy tale but I really mean it

I want to feel loved in the loving arms of someone I love but...
...why is something supposed to be natural become unnatural in this ever changing season? Even for...
...the sleeping kitten, the wobbly old crow, the cactus,
, the mole who got lost, the smart dolphin every living beings

I want to get to know you...
...as I embrace my wavering feelings
Including the star too, and of he countless snowflakes falling,
I name one of the snowflakes...
...and send them to you from the sky, they're my gifts for you
So sweet right? This moment feels like we're actually talking

Including the star too, it's all for you the pure white snow...
...falling on the pavement, the roofs and on my palm
My heart is calling out to you from inside
I believe the snow also falls onto your palm
That is my gift to you sent from the sky
So sweet right? Sounds like a fairy tale but I really mean it

I want to get to know you...
...as I embrace my wavering feelings
Including the star too, and of he countless snowflakes falling,
I name one of the snowflakes...
...and send them to you from the sky, they're my gifts for you
So sweet right? This moment feels like we're actually talking
