Hi flowerbossa,
I am so proud of cloudnine and her debut. This is such an inspirational poem depicting the consideration and simplicity of the Japanese people. I can't help watching this video over and over again, especially at our dear cloudnine :) Thanks for sharing!
love ... jaime
Konnichiwa Jaime-san,
Yes, isn't this a beautiful video?
I'm so happy to see cloud nine participate in such a wonderful project^^
That said, satovic and I were talking about the translation of the poem...
Not that there's anything wrong with it, we were saying that it is difficult to convey the selflessness/modesty of the tone when you cannot omit the "I" as you are able to do in the Japanese language.
I wonder what Professor Donald Keene's thoughts are on this subject...
I hope you had a lovely Easter holiday with your family!
love,
flowerbossa
