blackbirds' songs
at nightfall -
the birdbath overflows
***
le chant des merles
dans le soir qui tombe -
le bain d'oiseaux déborde

beautiful scene.
p.s. as written, you might want to add an apostrophe, for the possessive, after blackbirds (blackbirds').

Je viens d'être témoin de cette même scène, ici dans mon jardin après une journée de pluie... merci pour ce très beau haïku, Damien.

I like the association between overflowing song, and overflowing water. This especially reads well in French.
