Chapter 5 Yaeko
Yaeko
Yaeko is forever melancholy,
I'm afraid she will lose her youth.
Yes, I fear for her health,
Especially for her pensive eyes.
The fragrance of the hair is the love of the far away,
Far enough to make people cry;
But to please her I can only smile,
Can only smile like a happy person.
For I will make her forget her loneliness,
Forget the vague nostalgia that haunts her,
I want to make her forget she's walking
The endless, lonely, desolate road.
And on her lips I will bless her,
For my eternally melancholy Yaeko,
I wish she will always have the face of the person she loves,
The face of spring flowers, and the heart of first love.
