[55] AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN WITH A FLU MASK 「マスク美人」

A woman is sitting opposite me in a train.
She kills me with her attractive eyes.
I just can't take my eyes off her.
Alas! Her beauty is covered with a GIANT mask.
I hate the mask.

The fox says to me, "She is covering up her swine-face."
“That can't be," I say.
"She is a sour grape," he continues.
"Get off it," I say.
I hate the fox.

The train stops.
A fat man stands between me and her.
His shorts expose his wiry leg hair.
Go away, Man, go away.
I hate the man.

I tilt my head and look at her.
The man sways left and right.
Be steady, Man! 
Then she removes the mask.
She is Swine Influenza.
**************************************
what does a mask cover?
beauty, ugliness, and...
the truth

電車の中、マスク美人が反対側に座ってる
美しい目で私を射とめ
私は彼女の虜になる
残念、大きなマスクが顔を隠してる
邪魔なマスクめ!

キツネが言う「彼女はマスクで豚顔を隠してんだよ」
「そんな馬鹿な」と私が言う
「彼女は酸っぱい葡萄さ」とキツネ
「馬鹿言うな」と私
邪魔なキツネめ!

電車が止まり
デブ男が私と彼女の間に立つ
男は短パン、目の前にゴアゴアのすね毛
あっちへ行け、あっちへ
邪魔な男め!

頭をかしげて、美人を見る
男が左にふらふら、右にふらふら
ふらつくな、ちゃんと立て!
おっと、美人がマスクを取った…
彼女の正体? 豚インフルエンザ

  ****************************************
マスクして
美醜の他に
真、隠す
