EP01. Winter&Heating system in Korea

Árbol de fuego
Alfredo Espino

Son tan vivos los rubores
de tus flores, raro amigo,
que yo a tus flores les digo:
“Corazones hechos flores”.

Y a pensar a veces llego:
Si este árbol labios se hiciera…
¡ah, cuánto beso naciera
de tantos labios de fuego…!

Amigo: qué lindos trajes
te ha regalado el Señor;
te prefirió con su amor
vistiendo de celajes…

Qué bueno el cielo contigo,
árbol de la tierra mía…
Con el alma te bendigo,
porque me das tu poesía…

Bajo un jardín de celajes,
al verte estuve creyendo
que ya el sol se estaba hundiendo
adentro de tus ramajes.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

昨日の話ですが、北海道に来て、はじめて、雪ですべってこけました！しかも3回も！笑

冬になってから、雪が降っている時は、いつもこけないように気をつけていました。

昨日もいつも通り、気をつけていましたが、こけました。
おとといの夜に、つもって凍った雪の上に新しい雪がふりました。それで、いつもとちがう状況になったので、いつもよりすべりやすくなったんだと思います。

昨日久しぶりにこけて痛かったので、気をつけようと思います。

冬の北海道に旅行に来るみなさん、ぜひスノーブーツは用意してきてくださいね！結構すべりますよ！


ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
