野辺送り待合室の桜餅
Waiting At the funeral parlour:
Rice cakes wrapped in cherry leaves untouched
姊行三途川,火船望眼送君处,手持樱花丸
Explanation:
姉が亡くなりました。69才でした。火葬場に遺体を運びます。最後にお棺の窓から故人の顔を見て炉の中に送ります。遺体が焼き上がるまでに一時間くらいかかります。その間、遺族は待合室で待ちます。
待合室には、お茶と桜餅が用意されていました。待っている人はみな言葉少なにお茶をすすったり、桜餅を食べたりしています。
My elder sister passed away at her 69. Her body was sent to a crematorium. After we seeing her for the last time, her body was put into the furnace. It took around an hour to burn the body completely. In the meantime, we were waiting at the waiting room. There were tea and cherry cake in the room. The cherry cake looked gorgeous, thus did not come along with a funeral. The waiting people drank tea and ate the cake in silence.
姐姐69岁去世了,遗体运到了火葬场。和故人见过最后一面,遗体就送进了焚化炉。烧完遗体大概花一个小时,在此期间遗族被安置在接待室。接待室里准备了茶水和看着很喜庆的樱花饼。遗族们静静地喝着茶,吃着樱花饼。
