3 Geisha Songs

Lovers - Michiyuki koi no futusao, by Kitagawa Utamaro c.1802
1.
When I pour sake
for the man I love
even before he drinks up
I blush like a cherry blossom
2.
You and me
we live inside an egg
me, I am the white
and wrap you round with my body
3.
I dreamed we were back together.
My laughter woke me up.
I searched frantically all around me,
My eyes full of tears.
