Emoton [English translation]

Poor me, I ended up

On a reeling piece of wood

A trembling twig

I ended up

poor me, on a shivering leaf

Not even I know

Which road I'll take

Which way

I'll choose to run

Don't know which road to take

Once my mother could

Once she could make an apple

I guess she planted a sapling

Couldn't tend to it

I grew up without a father

I grew up without parents

The backwoods are my home

My house

My house is on the berry shrubs

The sky is intricately embroidered

The Big Dipper is well made

I wonder how my life is

I wonder

The life of me, dark-browed

Once my mother could

Once she could make an apple

I guess she planted a sapling

Couldn't tend to it

Once my mother could

Once she could make an apple

I guess she planted a sapling

Couldn't tend to it

It was put in a bad place

On the edge of a dark cloud

On the hard roots of the birch

Deep in the autumn night
