lollipop

Asiatic Lily   Lilium 'lollipop'

きれいなピンク一色のはずだったんです。
パッキングのミスでしょうか？

このピエロみたいなお顔をひらいた時は、もう、がっかりでした。

She was supposed to be a lovely pink lily 
but they must have made a packing mistake.

I was disappointed when she finally opened her face and 
showed what I thought was a clown face.

 二年前、母がうちに来てくれた時、

' あの愛らしいそばかすのあるお花は何？'

' どれ、ポピー？　それともディジーかな？'

' ちがう　ちがう、ユリみたいなんだけど。'

Two years ago my mother visited here.
  
"What is that adorable flower with freckles ?"

"Which one?  The poppy, or maybe the daisy?"

"No, I think it's a lily."

彼女、ピエロからプリマドンナに、一晩で昇級気分。

わたしは未だに反証半疑で
横目でチラッと見たら

あっかんべぇ～してました。

The clown was promoted to a Prima donna over night. 

When I glanced at her suspiciously, 
she was sticking her tongue out at me.
