...And Uncertain *in* Translation
The translation I promised. First, though, a couple of translator's notes.
"Neesan" is a respectful way to address your older sister. "Kaze" is breeze or wind. So "kaze-no-neesan" is "sister wind". "Atashi" is a feminine, slightly deminutive form of "I"... I used it because it adds to the softness of the language. On to the translation:
Kaze-no-neesan, please look. Look--that person is me. A happy me. A little amazing, isn't it. Wind is amazing, too. So is the night.
This way, this way... kaze-no-neesan, please come here. I want to you to be here. Please.
Everyone is good, but I want to be with you. You know me.
Please hold [hug] me. Know my heart.
Please.
Personally, I like the Japanese better. ^_^
