英訳
Bones of ice, flesh of jade, the spirit of this tree.
Beyond the bamboo several branches, shinier than silver.
No need have I to go south of the river to ask for tidings of spring.
That subtle scent -- it seems the tree is braving the cold anew.
Line
one: "Flesh
of ice and bones of jade" 氷肌玉骨 is the more usual description of the plum
tree, the poet having altered the wording probably by mistake. The plum is
the one of the first trees to bloom in early spring. The plum tree, together
with bamboo and the pine tree, constituted a triad known by the Chinese as
"The Three Friends of Winter."
Line
three:
South of the Yangtze river in China (or in the Japanese context, south of
the Yodo river in the Kyoto-Osaka region), where winters are comparatively
mild and spring warmth is felt earlier than in the north, the seasonal winds
which blow from the twelfth month to the third or fourth month (in the lunar
calendar) were traditionally known as the "flower-tidings wind," 花信風. During
these months, various flowers come into bloom, starting with the plum, the
camellia, and the narcissus, and ending with the peony and the sandalwood
tree.
Line
four:
We have provisionally emended the fifth character, written in the
tanzaku
as 昌 (akiraka,
sakan), to 冒 (okasu).
