5 | In a matter of minutes, a violent earthquake and the following tsunamis demolished entire neighborhoods. | Minitra vitsy monja, noravan'ny horohorontany mahery vaika sy ny tsunamis nanaraka azy ny tontolo manodidina rehetra. |
6 | Many now wonder what the meaning of life is if everything may change in a blink. | Maro ankehitriny no manontany ny dikan'ny fiainana raha mety hiova ao anatin'ny indray mipimaso ny zavatra rehetra. |
7 | The concept of impermanence of things is familiar to the Japanese literature and, in these days, poet Shuntaro Tanikawa‘s famous poem “To Live” has been posted on several Japanese blogs. | Efa mahazatra amin'ny literatiora japoney ny tsy faharetan'ny zavatra ary tato ho ato izao dia navoakan'ny bolongana japoney maro ny poezia malazan'ilay poeta Shuntaro Tanikawa mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Miaina”. |
8 | The popular verses, which explore the meaning of life in very simple words, appear in many school books. | Voambolana tena tsotra, hita amin'ny boky fianarana maro, ny andalana malaza, izay mandalina ny dikan'ny fiainana. |
9 | To live, to live now, means to become thirsty, to be dazzled by the sun filtering through the tree leaves, to unexpectedly remember a melody, to sneeze, to join hands with you. | Miaina Miaina, miaina izao, midika mangetaheta, Sondriana amin'ny masoandro mitaratra anelanelan'ny ravinkazo, mahatsiaro feonkira tampoka, mievina, mandray ny tananao. |
10 | To live, to live now, means miniskirts, planetariums, Johann Strauss, Picasso, the Alphs, meeting all kinds of beautiful things, and rejecting carefully the hidden evil. | Miaina, miaina ankehitriny, midika zipo fohy, Vongam-planeta, Johann Strauss, Picasso, Ankaratra, mahita ny tsara rehetra, ary manilika am-pitandremana ny zava-dratsy. |
11 | To live, to live now, means to be able to cry, to be able to laugh, to be able to get angry, to be free. | Miaina, miaina ankehitriny, midika afa-mitomany, afa-mihomehy, Afaka ny ho tezitra, Afaka. |
12 | To live, to live now, means now a dog is barking in a far place, now the earth is turning around, now somewhere a baby's first cry is raised, now somewhere a soldier is wounded, now a swing is swinging, now “now” is passing. | Miaina, miaina izao, midika izao ny alika mivòvò any lavitra any, izao ny tany mihodikodina any, izao any ho any misy zaza sambany mitomany, izao any ho any misy miaramila maratra, izao misavily ny savily, izao “izao” fa mandalo. |
13 | To live, to live now, means a bird flaps its wings, the sea thunders, a snail crawls, people love, the warmth of your hands, life itself. | Miaina, miaina izao, midika vorona mikopak'elatra, ranomasina manonja, sifotra mianika, olona mitia, ny hafanan'ny tananao, Ny fiainana. |
14 | [English translation found here.] Actor Koichi Sato reads “To Live”. | Mpilalao Koichi Sato mamaky ny “Miaina”. |
15 | Big Kuma said she read this poem when she was a little girl and explained what it means to her. | Nilaza i Big Kuma fa efa namaky ny poezia izy fahazaza ary nanazava ny dikany aminy. |
16 | Even now, while Japan is the victim of natural disasters… On the other side of this Earth… There is famine, poverty, war… Many people are suffering And dying for many different reasons. | Ankehitriny izao aza raha tra-boinan'ny loza voajanahary i Japan… Any an-toeran-kafa amin'ity tany ity… Misy hanoanana, fahantrana, ady… Maro ny olona mijaly Ary maty noho ny antony samihafa. |
17 | Amidst all this… The meaning of life, now. […] | Ao anatin'izany rehetra izanys… Ny anton'ny fiainana, ankehitriny. […] |
18 | When thinking about what's the most important thing for me now… It is not gas… It is not buying food… It is not stocking up on daily necessaries… And it is not blaming myself because there is nothing I can do now. | Raha mieritreritra ny zava-dehibe amiko indrindra amin'izao fotoana izao… Tsy ny entona [fandrehitra]… Tsy ny fividianan-tsakafo… Tsy ny manangona ny zavatra ilaina andavanandro… Ary tsy ny manamelo-tena fa tsy misy na inona na inona azoko atao izao. |
19 | Nor feeling bad for those in the afflicted areas. | Na mahatsiaro malahelo ireo faritra ihara-pahavoazana. |
20 | It is to cherish the life that I was given… Without blaming ourselves, we all have to live facing forward. | Fa ny mitia ny fiainana izay nomena… Amin'ny tsy fanamelohantsika ny tenantsika no tsy maintsy hiatrehana ny ho avy. |
21 | Come on, come on! | Andao e, Andao! |
22 | Let's do our best, all together! | Andao hanao izay tsara indrindra azontsika atao! |
23 | Another blogger reflects on what those are safe can do for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. | Mpamaham-bolongana hafa no mieritreritra izay azon'ireo tsy maninon-tsy maninona atao ho an'ireo izay tra-boinan'ny horohorontany sy ny tsunami. |
24 | “Those who can (should) do what they can, as much as they can” | “Izay afa-manao dia tokony hanao izay azony atao” |
