The Lemon Lament (Link to translated song lyrics)
Original by Kotaro Takamura (Link to original Japanese lyrics)
Translated by Buchi
Translator’s note; This is the poem about the moment of the death of the wife of Kotaro Takamura. She had a mental disease and cannot recognize Kotaro. We can imagine how hard it is for Kotaro. Last, thanks to Yu.I, Genta, Hisashi and Mark for giving me some ideas to change words, and Thanks to Aze who gave me advice about pronouns.
