Lyrics and translation Shinji Tanimura - Gunjou




Gunjou
Gunjou
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
Coloring the sky This snow falls quietly
海に積もりて 波を凍らせる
Accumulating on the ocean Freezing the waves
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
Coloring the sky This snow falls quietly
海を眠らせ 貴方を眠らせる
Lulling the ocean to sleep Lulling you to sleep
手折れば散る 薄紫の
If you pluck it, it scatters Pale purple
野辺に咲きたる 一輪の
Blooming in the fields A single
花に似て 儚なきは人の命か
Flower Like a person's life, ephemeral
せめて海に散れ 想いが届かば
If only it could scatter into the ocean My thoughts would reach you
せめて海に咲け 心の冬薔薇
If only it could bloom in the ocean The winter rose of my heart
老いた足どりで 想いを巡らせ
With aged steps I wander in thought
海に向いて 一人立たずめば
Facing the sea I stand alone
我より先に逝く 不幸は許せど
I can forgive misfortune that strikes me first
残りて哀しみを 抱く身のつらさよ
But the pain of being left behind is unbearable
君を背おい 歩いた日の
The warmth of the days when I carried you
ぬくもり背中に 消えかけて
Fades on my back
泣けと如く群青の 海に降る雪
The indigo ocean snows As if to tell me to cry
砂に腹這いて 海の声を聞く
Lying on the sand I listen to the ocean's voice
待っていておくれ もうすぐ還るよ
Wait for me I'll be back soon
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
Coloring the sky This snow falls quietly
海に積もりて 波を凍らせる
Accumulating on the ocean Freezing the waves
空を染めてゆく この雪が静かに
Coloring the sky This snow falls quietly
海を眠らせて 貴方を眠らせる
Lulling the ocean to sleep Lulling you to sleep
