Wild Cat Island ヤマネコ島
And did those hands, in ancient time,
Dip into Coniston's waters blue?
And was the Terror of the Seas
Some Coniston neighbour's girl he knew?
Did Kanchenjunga's stony face
Stand out above these purple moors?
Was Wild Cat Island really real,
Set in this great skyline of hills?

Bring me my boat, with brown-tanned sail!
Bring me my arrows with green tips!
Bring all the gear! Oh, tent unfold!
Bring lanterns for approaching ships!
I will not seek authentic sites:
Wherever Nature's close at hand,
There, in our hearts, is Wild Cat Island,
In Ransome's green and pleasant land
いにしえ かの手は
水面にふれしや
わたつみの乙女
水辺にたちしや
巌なすカンチェンジュンガ
荒野にそびえしや
うつつなりや かの島
つらなる丘のもと

染めたる帆をあげよ
緑の矢をうて
築けよすみかを
船よべ ともしび
われらは求めず うつつの島影
緑なす地こそ
ランサム愛でしくに

元歌

Lyrics : William Blake

Jerusalem
And did those Feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance devine
Shine forth upon those clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark, Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land!
