Translation by Émile Steinilber-Oberlin (1878 - 1951) and by Hidétaké Iwamura
J'approche l'écritoire
Language: French (Français) after the Japanese (日本語)
J'approche l'écritoire...
Cette lettre que j'écris !
Amoureuse, malade d'amour,
je veux le voir!
Sans cesse, je pense : « je l'aime, je l'aime ! »
et ce sentiment me transperce !
et c'est une crampe, une suffocation
qui me monte à la gorge
et qui ne s'en va plus!...
