北愁 - Kiyoshi Hikawa Übersetzung ins Englische

北愁

海が奏でる 潮騒は
男の夢の 子守唄
流れる雲を 道連れに
ギターを抱いて 宛てもなく
知床岬 北の果て
あぁ こけ桃の 花が愛しい

なにを求めて なにを追う
故郷遠く 捨ててまで
山狭駆ける エゾジカの
愁いをふくむ 瞳の色に
忘れた筈の おもかげが
あぁ 霧の中 にじむたそがれ

細いランプの 灯が揺れる
宇登呂のはずれ 港宿
心に風の 吹く夜は
ギターよ俺と 泣いてくれ
羅臼を越えて 明日もまた
あぁ さすらいの 旅は続くよ

Northern Sorrow

The ocean plays its tide's soft song,
A lullaby to a man's dreams so long.
With drifting clouds as my companions free,
Guitar in hand, I wander aimlessly.
Cape Shiretoko, at the northern end,
Ah, the blooming koke-momo, my heart does mend.

What do I seek, what do I chase?
Leaving my home, a distant space.
The Ezo deer, running through the mountain pass,
In their sorrowful eyes, reflections amassed.
A face I thought forgotten, now I see,
Ah, in the mist, a twilight memory.

A dim lamp's light flickers and sways,
A harbor inn, on the edge of Utoro's bays.
On nights when the wind blows through my soul,
My guitar, weep with me, make me whole.
Beyond Rausu, tomorrow I'll roam once more,
Ah, my wandering journey, forevermore.
