「又、会ふぜ。きっと会ふ。滝の下で」
"Mata,auze.kitto au.taki no shita de"

輪廻と転生の不可思議な枠組み
神秘に包まれたカルマの法則
人々の過ちと悔恨とが
新たな生命の萌芽となる謎

Rinne to tensho no hukashigi na wakugu mi
Shinpi ni tsutsu mareta karuma no hōsoku
Hitobito no ayamachi to kaikon toga
Aratana seimei no hōga tonaru nazo

誰ひとり逃れることができない
生と死を繰り返す魂の遍歴
それはいったい何者が
人に何を学ばせようとしているのか

Dare hitori nogareru kotoga dekinai
Sei to shi o kurikaesu tamashii no henreki
Sorewa ittai nanimono ga
Hito ni nani o manabaseyōto shite irunoka

『何か決定的なもの それが何だかは分からない』
"Nanika ketteiteki na mono sorega nandaka wa wakaranai"

主人公は何かが訪れることを待ち望んでいる
それはおそらく
自らの力を試す試練を
求めていることに等しい

Shujinko wa nanikaga otozureru koto o machi nozonde iru
Sore wa osoraku
Mizukara no chikara o tamesu shiren o
Motometeiru kotoni hitoshii

この作家は何が訪れることを待ち望んだのだろうか
敗戦 、妹の死、 失った恋人、宿命の予感
そして、訪れた時代の潮流は
この作家と戦後社会との溝を深めてしまう

Kono sakka wa nani ga otozureru koto o machi nozonda nodarouka
Haisen, imōto no shi, ushina tta koibito, shukumei no yokan

喧噪を極める社会復興の有り様と幻滅
羞恥心を失った破廉恥な物欲と精神の欠如

Kenso o kiwameru shakai hukkō no arisama to genmetsu
Shuchishin o ushinatta harenchi na butsuyoku to seishin no ketujyo

日本人として生まれた自分は
日本人として恥じることなく
日本人として死ぬ

やがて主人公に訪れる破局の数々
全身に針を打ち込まれるような衝撃
作家は分身である主人公に
夭折への道を歩ませてしまう

『何か決定的なもの それが何だかは分からない』
"Nani ka ketteiteki na mono sorega nandaka wa wakaranai"

自我への目覚め
異性への憧憬
既存のものへの反抗
しかし自由を手にするものに求められる
あらゆる義務を背負うことになる

Jiga eno mezame
Isei eno dōkei
Kizon no mono eno hankō

「又、会ふぜ。きっと会ふ。滝の下で」
おそらく「何か決定的なこと」
それが訪れることによって
人は自らを再生するのかもしれない

Osoraku "nani ka ketteiteki na koto"
Sorega otozureru kotoni yotte

ENG:

"We'll meet again. We'll definitely meet. Beneath the waterfall."

The mysterious framework of reincarnation and rebirth.
The mysterious law of karma.
The mystery of how people's mistakes and
regrets become the seeds of new life.

The journey of the soul,
which repeats life and death
from which no one can escape.
Who is trying to teach people this?

"Something decisive, but I don't know what it is."

The protagonist is waiting for something to happen.
This is probably
the same as seeking a test to test
his own strength.

What was the author waiting for to happen?
Defeat,
His sister's death,
A lost lover,
A premonition of fate.

Then, the coming of the times
deepened the gap between this writer and postwar society.

The noisy state of social reconstruction and disillusionment.
Shameless materialism and a lack of spirit that has lost all sense of shame.

He must have decided.
　"I born as a Japanese "
　"l die as a Japanese
　without being ashamed
　of being a Japanese.

Soon, the protagonist faces a series of breakups
a shock like needles being driven into his entire body.
the writer leads his alter-ego, the protagonist,
down the road to early death.

"Something decisive" I don't know what it is.'

Awakening to self,
longing for the opposite sex
Rebellion against the existing, but
those who obtain freedom
are expected to shoulder all the obligations.

'We will meet again. We will definitely meet. Under the waterfall.'

Perhaps when "something decisive" happens,
people will gain freedom and be reborn.

The traces of a dream

and space
Sleeping quietly
The sea of the fertility
