Isamu Kensei

Folder: 
Asia

Isamu Kensei, honorable swordsman
and gifted poet
he served a lord of large estate
his honor greater still

he went with him in battle
and fought with bravery and skill
but shedding blood was not his fill
nor drowning sorrows in sake or beer

for Isamu Kensei lived for someone else
as sakura blossoms give themselves to the wind.

勇拳西は立派な剣士と天才詩人であった
彼は大王国の領主に仕え、主は非常に名誉た
彼は戦いで主に同行し、勇気とスキルと戦った
流血は彼を幸せにしませんでした
彼は酒やビールに酔っていませんでした
彼の唯一のケアは、桜の花が風に浮いている方法のような別の人だった
