森田童子「サナトリウム」

English translation

SANATORIUM by Morita Douji

Giving up a Soseki's novel, I kissed you.
The aquatic flower looks colorful by the window.
You are trembling in a white summer dress with flower pattern, which appears faint and elegant.

Two of us are drinking soda to enjoy its coolness, and you are sucking the cherry fruit.
Saying good-bye is always painful in the dream.
As the night is not young anymore, your profile seems all sorrowful.

(Monolog)
Just like in the days immediately before the detection of my tuberculosis, I frequently have the same dream, which sweats me a lot. That's why I believe my left lung is already filled with water. A scarlet flower is sure to bloom in my left lung very soon.
