Ein schöner Tag!
Heute traf hier Post aus Finnland ein! Haiku aus Finnland!
What a nice day!
Today I received a letter from Finland! And haiku!
Und nun sitze ich hier ... Und übersetze ...
And now I sit here and I try to translate ..
syksy majassani --
kylmä päivä
kylmä yö
(Issa; in: Kogarashi, S. 28, editor: Juhani Tikkanen)
autumn (but what means majassani?) --
cold day
cold night
Herbst (majassani ?) --
kalter Tag
kalte Nacht
a day later:
I still look for "majassani" -- perhaps Juhani will comment, then we will know ...
please read the comments, read what Juhani (Tikkis) wrote, it`s so interesting!
