Aikido, Love, and Dance

By Jinderella

RE: Aikido Wisdom: The Source of Excellence

I got a friend whose japanese is much better than mine to translate
this love poem (from chizumatic) for den-beste-sama.

Atsui manazashi mo yakusoku no kotoba mo
(hot) (passionate?) looks and promises (language) and

Umai kisu mo koi ni wa iranai
good (talented? delicious?) kisses and love (passion) don't need

I don't need passionate looks, promises, kisses or love.

Aoi sora wo mite "Kirei da ne" to ieru
blue sky, looking at, "it is pretty" it can be said that

The sky above is beautiful

Kimi no soboku-sa suki yo
your simplicity (naivete?) like

I like the simpleness in you

Nanige naku me ga aeba Ki-mazukute shita wo muku
Innocently eyes meet Awkward looking down

Our gazes meet and we look away, uncomfortable

Sore ga hontou no koi da ne
That is true love

That is true love

Bukiyou wo ja nakya koi wa dekinai wa

Awkward (without) love can't be done

You can't have love if you are not uncomfortable

Chikazuku hodo sameru mono
Getting closer cools it

It cools the closer you get

Da kara ne Modokashisa ga koi na no yo
Therefore tantalization is love

Love is temptation

Umaku tsutaerarenai Setsunasa ga ii no yo
not talented explain (communicate) Pain is good

I can't find the right words to say the pain of longing is a good thing

Love, Aikido and Dance are the same - all disciplines, involving pain and practice.
