Sur la natte
Language: French (Français) after the Japanese (日本語)
Chosen for Diff
Bouderie des amants
Elle fait semblant de dormir,
elle lui tourne le dos...
Soudain, d'une chambre lointaine,
on entend une musique grêle --- si jolie! ---
cordes d'un shamisen frôlées par des doigts délicats!...
Dès lors, réconciliation des amants.
Sa coiffure toute dérangée !... son peigne !...
Le matin. Cloches dans l'aube.
« Déjà la séparation ! Oh ! je ne veux pas !... »
Départ.
Une barque s'éloigne sur un étang du Yoshiwara...
