“The Anticipation of a New Dawn”
Winter nights are long
And in the northern country
Where it’s even colder
The dark, frigid months crawl by
Humans are intellectual creatures
Therefore, the northern country has many wise solutions
They preserve food to compensate for lack of crops
Design clothing to withstand the icy temperatures
And find ways to heat their houses
Laziness can result in freezing to death
In life, there is also a long, cold winter
Called depression
We can endure this, but not for too long
For depression kills the spirit
Recover as quickly as you can, for every minute counts
Trust that the long, cold winter night will end
Look for things you can do now, and take action right away
Don’t give up! Keep going with a positive attitude
How long it takes depends on who you are
But most assuredly your time will come
When a renewed light of hope shines in your heart
And a new energy fills your body
That is anticipation of a new dawn
「黎明の予感」
冬の夜は長い
そして北国ほど寒い
暗くて寒い冬が長く続く
人間は頭を使う生き物だ
故に北国ほど智慧の産物も多い
冬は作物が獲れないから保存食が生まれる
寒さに耐える服が生まれる
家を暖かく保つ暖房が生まれる
怠けていては凍え死んでしまうからだ
人生にも長く寒い冬がある
そんな時、人は気持ちが落ちこむ
耐えることも必要だが、問題は時間だ
ずっと落ち込んだままでは心は死ぬだろう
1分でも早く立ち直り
寒く長い冬の夜が明けることを信じて
今できることを探し、すぐに実行することだ
諦めず機嫌良く、継続することだ
雌伏の時間は人それぞれだろう
しかし必ずその時はやってくる
心に差し込む新たな希望の光
身体にみなぎる新たなエネルギー
それこそが黎明の予感なのだ
