00:00 [Music]
00:06 I am a cloud in the sky,
00:09 by chance casting my shadow on the waves of your heart.
00:14 No need to be surprised, or even show your delight.
00:19 In a twinkling I will disappear.
00:22 You and I meet on the sea of a dark night,
00:26 facing in different directions.
00:29 You might remember, but you'd better forget,
00:32 how we shone in each other's eyes.
00:37 It's made to some of the deeper and less transitory things
00:43 that really matter around culture,
00:46 and specifically in this college, the link through poetry.
00:51 So I'm ringing a translation of "By Chance" from Shuji Mo.
