-No Images-<Umeko's story 2>

I saw her for the first time when I was 5 years old so or so.

At that time, she looked active and
enjoyed taking a shower by splushing shower.

I have watched her been given some fruits by the tourists.

Well then,
she had become news 10 years ago.

She treaded her zookeeper and killed him.

I don't know exactly about it,
but I think that accident was happened by unluckily coincidence.

By the way,I met her 3 months ago.
I hadn't seen her for a long time since I saw her last time.

Although she was older than before,
she looked like cheerfully.

Have you ever seen ‘Umeko’?

English！１４

-Her name is Umeko-

This is a female elephant in Odawara zoo park.

Her name is Umeko.

But my father always calls her Hanako.

He has misunderstood her name for a long time.

According to the person in charge,
she came there on 1950.

At that time, she looked like 3 years old.

So now she looks like 59 years old.

But I don't know whether the age is an elephant age or human age.

<No Images>-PINK!-

I bought a new CD by the singer Pink.

It has just released on last month.

I'd thought she was just a punk singer with good grooves.

But after I listened to her whole album,
I changed my mind.

I didn't know she was such a good singer.

Her lylics were so warm and poetic that I was near tears.

If a best album would be released in the future,
many songs would be taken from this album.

In a word, this album is a classical girl's rock album.

近所にバラの館があります。

道を歩くと、
満開に咲いたバラの甘い香りが漂います。

写真上は、「パパメイアン」
写真下は、「ドロシーパーキンズ」
という種類のようです。

きれいです。

〜一曲！７〜

７回目は、童謡「小さな木の実」です。

原曲は、ビゼー作曲の歌劇「美しいパースの娘」のアリアです。

この曲は、私の好きな童謡ランキング、
不動のトップ１！

曲も歌詞も、すばらしいと思います。
名曲でしょう。

参考までに歌詞を掲載しますね。（訳：海野洋司）

（１）小さな　手のひらに　ひとつ
　　　古ぼけた木の実　握りしめ
　　　小さな　足跡が　ひとつ
　　　草原の中を　かけてゆく
　　　パパと　二人でひろった
　　　大切な木の実　握りしめ
　　　今年　また秋の丘を
　　　少年は一人　かけてゆく

（２）小さな　心に　いつでも
　　　幸せな秋は　あふれてる
　　　風と　よく晴れた空と
　　　暖かい　パパの思い出と
　　　坊や　強く生きるんだ
　　　この広い世界　お前のもの
　　　今年　また秋が来ると　
　　　木の実はささやく　パパの言葉

※子供の頃から、短調の曲が好きです。（特にト短調）
　　私の好きな童謡トップ５は、全て短調の曲です。
　　尚、この曲はホ短調です。

※２番の歌詞「坊や　強く生きるんだ　この広い世界　お前のもの」
　という所が、子供の頃、一番好きでした。今も、それは変わりません。
