春の日に涙を流す離任式

haru no hi ni namida o nagasu rinin-shiki

On a spring day

I shed tears;

Teachers leave school

笠置山頂上に着き深呼吸

Kasagi yama choujo ni tsuki shin-kokyu

Climbing up

to the top of Mt. Kasagi

I take a deep breath

NAKAI, Hirokazu

春うらら姉妹肩寄せピアノ弾く

Haru urara shimai kata-yose piano hiku

A warm spring day

Two sisters play the piano

side by side

Davina Robinson-Soga

Lone petal in a breeze

dances for an admiring girl,

landing i her hair

AKINAGA, Eriko
