非公式の英訳/Unofficial translation
Because it’s the sort of night
when the moon hangs low in the sky
do you feel frustrated by your speechlessness?
If there are stray monkeys
living deep in the mountains, unknown to all
then in their small world
do they live, ignorant of all?
Even if there was a time
when one could touch their heartstrings
beasts are beasts.
They cannot yearn for the heavens.1
And so
they would not have the words
to describe the heavens’ beauty.
And, also
they could never grieve
feeling that it was a sad thing.
Because it’s the sort of night
when the moon hangs low in the sky.
And yet, are you just shedding tears?
Even so, in that small world
if you live while looking up at the sky
then you would realise something unknown to you,
awakening a small desire.
Or maybe, if you’ve strung together
just a few words
then show me you’ll swear your oath
and yearn for the heavens.
And so
you will endeavour to know those words.
to describe the vastness of the heavens.
Once again
tremble in rage, knowing it is impossible
and your wish will never be granted.
The beasts
find their hearts wandering far away
when they yearn for the distant heavens.
Someday, will your lies accumulate
and will you deceive your own heart, too?
Raise your voice,
and you might then stand
upon that land, which must be Shangri-La.2
Ah, and yet
with your oath as a basis
will you reach to the distance and take your leave?
The moon hangs low
and in the land that yearns for the heavens,
you were looking up at the sky.
Even this horizon
will lose its impurity.
Perhaps you were dreaming of such a day.
