Translation by Émile Steinilber-Oberlin (b. 1878) and by Hidétaké Iwamura
La Neige danse
Language: French (Français) after the Japanese (日本語)
La neige danse
la neige tombe en tourbillon,
sans cesse, sans cesse...
le paravent fait notre réunion d'amour.
Notre couche de triple duvet
avec sa soie brodée de papillons et de plu-
viers.
Mon tout jeune amoureux.
L'oiseau de juchoir, dont le bec est tendre,
retourne à son perchoir.
Confirmed with Oberlin, Steinilber & Iwamura, Hidetaké, Chansons des Geishas, Aux éditions G. Crès. Paris - 1926 p.64
