Lyrics and translation 小林幸子 - ウソツキ鴎

ウソツキ鴎

嘘つき鴎に きょうもまた
お船が来たよと だまされた
お船は来たけど よその船
しょんぼり波止場に 背をむけて
私はホロリと... ホロリと
泣いちゃった

嘘つき鴎と よく似てる
小粋なジャケツの マドロスさん
花束かゝえて 手をふって
急いで帰ると それっきり
手紙もくれずに... くれずに
もう三月

嘘つき鴎は 旅の鳥
まあるい地球を ひと廻り
どこかであの人 見かけたら
私が毎日 泣いてると
ほんとの話を... 話を
しておくれ

Seagull, the Liar

The lying seagull, once again
Tricked me, said a ship had come.
A ship did come, but it was not mine,
So sadly I turned my back to the dock.
And I quietly cried... quietly cried
And wept

The lying seagull and someone I know
Are very much alike, a sailor dressed so fine,
With flowers in his arms, he waved,
And hurried back, and that was it.
No letter from him, not one
It's been three months now

The lying seagull is a bird of passage,
He circles the globe,
Somewhere you will see him, my love,
Tell him how I cry every day,
Tell him the truth, just tell him
For me
