With words and narration by Jane Goodall

語り手 ジェーン・グドール博士

I remember I was struck by the harmony of color in the forest

色が織りなす 森の美しさに心を奪われた

Shades of yellow and green

黄色や緑

Deepening to the browns and purples

深みのある茶色や紫

And the way the vines curled up through the trees

樹木を這い上がり 大小の枝に絡み付く

Clinging to twigs and branches

ツタ植物のうねり

The gentle breeze rustled the leaves so that the shining stars of light gleamed and winked

やさしいそよ風が木の葉を揺らし まばゆい木漏れ日がこぼれ落ちる

I was keenly aware of secret movements in the trees

木の中でそっと動く気配が

I looked into his large and lustrous eyes

輝きのある大きな瞳を見つめる

They seemed somehow to express his entire personality

性格そのものを表しているようだ

His serene self-assurance

静かで穏やかな表情

What an amazing privilege it was

なんて素晴らしい 私だけの空間

To be utterly accepted thus by a wild, free animal

自由な野生動物と 完全にとけ込んでいる

I lay there part of the forest

私は森の中で横たわる

And experienced again that magical enhancement of sound

不思議な音の高揚感にもう一度ひたる

That added richness of perception

研ぎすまされる感覚

I was awed by the beauty

尊厳なる美しさ

And I found myself thinking, this is where I belong

ここが私の居場所

Together the chimpanzees and the baboons and the monkeys

チンパンジーやマントヒヒ

The birds and insects

鳥や昆虫がいる

The teeming life of the the vibrant forest

生命あふれる森のダイナミズム

The stirrings of the never still waters of the great lake

雨に打ち付けられる偉大な湖

Formed one whole

すべてが1つの世界

All one
