Lyrics and translation 小椋佳 - 海辺の恋

海辺の恋

こぼれ松葉をかきあつめ
をとめのごとき君なりき
こぼれ松葉に火をはなち
わらべごときわれなりき

わらべとをめよりそひね
ただたまゆら火をかこみ
うれしくふたり手をとりぬ
かなひきことをただ夢み

入り日の中に立つけぶり
ありやなしやとただほのか
海べのこひのはかなさは
こぼれ松葉の火なりけむ

Seaside Romance

I gathered the fallen pine needles,
My dear, you were like a maiden.
To the fallen pine needles I set fire,
My dear, I was like a child.

A child and a maiden, we sat side by side,
And just for a moment, we surrounded the fire,
Happily, we took each other's hands,
Just dreaming that our wish would come true.

The smoke stood in the sunset,
Was it there or not? Just a faint glow.
The fleetingness of seaside love,
May it have been like the fire of fallen pine needles.
