Sonny Chiba dubbed:
Just beyond the gate
a neat yellow hole--
someone pissed in the snow
In the beggar's tin
a few thin copper coins
and this evening rain
For you too, my fleas,
the night passes so slowly.
But you won't be lonely.
The winter fly
I caught and finally freed
the cat quickly ate
This world of dew
is only a world of dew--
and yet
I wish she were here
to listen to my bitching
and enjoy this moon
Don't kill that poor fly!
He cowers, wringing
his hands for mercy
So many flea bites,
but on her lovely young skin
they are beautiful
Now we are leaving,
the houseflies can make love
to their hearts' desire
Lee Scratch Perry dubbing:
Kobayashi Issa on wikipedia.
