Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?

Pete Seeger

Just like other people, I believed the song had been written by Peter Paul and Mary for a long time. It is known as an anti-war song but also could be a song for looking back on our history of civilization.

野に咲く花はいまいづこ
はるか流れる時の向こう
野に咲く花はいまいづこ
遠い昔のことのよに
野に咲く花はいまいづこ
少女達が摘んでいった
おぉ、いつになったら分かるのか
おぉ、学ぶ時はいつの日か

ピートシーガー

御多分に洩れず、この歌はピーター・ポール&マリーのものだとずっと誤解していた。反戦歌として知られているが、文明化を振り返る歌でもあるだろう。
日本語でも多数カバーされているからメロディーに乗った美しい訳はカバー曲に任せたい。小訳は少しだけクラシカルな詩として試してみた。

It is moored at the edge of the Yamashita park of Yokohama indefinitely. Her name is Hikawa-maru and it was an ocean liner of the north pacific lane from Yokohama to Seattle. In WW-2, she was used as a hospital ship and hit a floating mine but she went back to Japan. Her last voyage was done in 1960. I could say she has been always on the edge of the history.

I hope you could find some her beautiful edge of shape in pictures.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.
The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.
The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.

出来ないことをやってのけるというのは、ある意味楽しみみたいなものだ。
逆境に咲く花は何よりも貴重で美しい。
その過去に傷つくこともあるかもしれない。だが、私に言わせるなら、そこから逃げ出すことも学ぶことも出来るというものだ。
