Lyrics and translation Linda Yamamoto - Seto no Hanayome




Seto no Hanayome
The Bride of the Seto
瀬戸は日暮れて 夕波小波
As the sun sets over the Seto, the waves ripple
あなたの島へ お嫁にゆくの
I'm going to your island, to marry you
若いと誰もが 心配するけれど
Everyone worries that I'm too young
愛があるから 大丈夫なの
But I know I'll be okay because I have your love
だんだん畑と さよならするのよ
I'm saying goodbye to the fields, one by one
幼い弟行くなと泣いた
My little brother cried and begged me to stay
男だったら 泣いたりせずに
If he were a man, he wouldn't cry
父さん母さん 大事にしてね
Father and Mother, please take care of yourselves
岬まわるの 小さな船が
A small boat rounds the cape
生れた島が 遠くになるわ
The island where I was born is fading away
入江の向うで 見送る人たちに
At the far end of the bay, people wave goodbye
別れ告げたら 涙が出たわ
I bid them farewell, and tears come to my eyes
島から島へと 渡ってゆくのよ
From island to island, I sail away
あなたとこれから 生きてくわたし
My love, our life together begins now
瀬戸は夕焼け 明日も晴れる
The Seto glows at sunset, tomorrow will be bright
二人の門出 祝っているわ
Celebrating our new journey, two souls united
