Lyrics and translation 小椋佳 - 函館山から

函館山から

函館山から 立待岬
吹き上げる雪の中飛び交うかもめよ
若い男は 荒海を走る
優しさ拒む背中にいつも悲しむ女がいた
今はただ胸にしみるひとりの寒さよ
おまえはもう若くはないととどろく波よ

誰を待つのか立待岬
頬を切る風の中たたずむ乙女よ
紺のかすりに想い出す笑顔
身勝手許す背中にそっと涙を隠していた
淋しさをわかちあえる懐かしい女よ
凍て曇る冬の空にも想いを投げよう

函館山から 立待岬
吹き上げる雪の中飛び交うかもめよ

Hakodate Mountain

From Hakodate Mountain to Tatemachi Cape
In the blowing snow seagulls are fluttering about
A young man is running the stormy sea
His back, which refuses kindness, always makes a woman sad
But for now, just one cold feeling penetrates my chest
The waves are roaring, 'you are not so young anymore'

Who are you waiting for at Tatemachi Cape?
A young woman is standing in the cold wind
A smile comes to her mind on her indigo-dyed cotton
She hides her tears because of his selfish back
My dear woman, who can share my sadness
In the frozen cloudy sky, let me send my feeling

From Hakodate Mountain to Tatemachi Cape
In the blowing snow seagulls are fluttering about
