山尾三省の詩 [４]
Sansei Yamao's poem [4]
I've never been to France,
so I don't know what real cafe au leit tastes like.
The night was freezing cold again, and it was almost dawn,
so I went to the kitchen
and sprinkled instant coffee over goats milk, and made cafe au leit.
It was warm and delicious, my cafe au leit,
and I was just thinking
"Thank you, goat", and savouring it on my own,
when from the little hut where the goat should be asleep,
I heard a cry, "baa!"

夜明けのカフェ・オーレ
山尾三省
フランスに行ったことがないから
本物のカフェ・オーレのことは知らない
今晩もとても寒く もうすぐ夜も明けるので
台所に行き
山羊の乳にインスタントコーヒーの粉をふりかけて カフェ・オーレを作った
とても熱い おいしいカフェ・オーレができた
山羊よありがとう
と思いながら ひとりでしみじみと飲んでいたら
眠っているはずの山羊が 山羊小屋で
ひと声 べえー と啼いた
