nagging companion gone


Issa Original
小言いう相手もあらばけふの月
kogoto iu aite mo araba kyo no tuki

David’s English
if only my nagging
companion were here…
tonight’s moon!

Sakuo Comment
Issa lost the dearest wife Kiku, here he said that she was my
nagging companion, but he used a term of nagging companion
as loving her.
