鳥眠る池辺の木々や十三夜

鳥眠る池辺の木々や十三夜

Sleeping the birds and the trees,

By the pond of silent glee,

Shed the moon of thirteenth.

鸟树对池眠，月华宁谧十三夜，野步不敢前

Explanation:

十三夜は、名月の中でも一番美しい月と言われます。

月明かりに誘われて野原を散歩す。   

夕方には椋鳥や雀が大騒ぎをしていた池のほとりの木々も 

静まりかえっている。鳥たちはみんな眠っているのだろう。

The moon of thirteenth is considered the most beautiful even among the harvest moons. 

I was lured by the moonlight that I went out for a walk. The trees beside the pond, which 

had been flooded by the bird noise in the evening, were quiet, because the birds were sleeping. 

If I walked closer, they may wake up and fly away. So I kept the distance.

十三夜在明月中被誉为最美。有感于月光，我去野外散步。

傍晚在八哥和麻雀的叫声中喧闹不已的池边树现在随着鸟儿们入睡安静下来。

我若再走近一些，鸟儿们就会惊醒飞走吧。于是我驻足不前。
