大阪、中の島 "Osaka and Nakanoshima"

僕は朝早くここに行くことが多い

I often go here early in the morning.

早朝が一番静かだから

Because early morning is quietest.

車も人もあまり通らぬ静寂な時間

Silent time when a car doesn't run to the person so much, either

朝日を浴び始める大阪市中央公会堂

The Osaka-city center public hall I begin to be bathed in the morning sun.

その古い佇まいを眺めるのが大好きです

I like to look at the old appearance very much.

そんなときに、土佐堀川をモーターボートが滑るように通り過ぎていった

Tosahori-river was being passed at such time so that a motorboat might be slippery.

長く伸びる影も静けさを物語っている様に・・・・

So that the shadow which develops lengthily may also tell the quiet.....
