Paroles et traduction Akina Nakamori - Aizenbashi

Aizenbashi

春一番が吹き荒れた後
花を敷いた路地へ
今日こそ返事聞かせてくれと
問いつめられそうで
あなた以上にやさしい人は
いそうにもないけど
結婚なんて旧い言葉に
縛られたくなくて
橋の名は愛染橋
ほほえんで渡れば恋がかなう
うつむけばそれきりとまどい橋
うちは淋しい女やからね
愛なんてよう知らん
時の流れも春のうららに
渡りたい 渡れない
髪の芯まで飽きられる日が
来ないとも限らず
そしたらすぐに別れる勇気
ありそうでなさそで
橋の名は愛染橋
ただ一度渡ればもう戻れぬ
振り向けばそこから想い出橋
うちは愚かな女やからね
人生もよう知らん
けれどあなたに手招きされて
渡りたい 渡れない

Aizenbashi

After the harsh wind of spring,
In the flower-lined street,
Today you'll finally give an answer and tell me
Whether you'll marry me or not.
You want to know if there is any man kinder than you,
But I don't think so.
However, I don't want to be bound
By that old-fashioned word, "marriage."
The name of this bridge is Aizenbashi.
If you smile and cross it, your love will come true,
But if you look down, it will only lead to confusion.
I'm a lonely woman,
And I really don't know much about love.
In the warm spring breeze,
I want to cross it, but I can't.
There will come a day when you'll get tired of me,
And we'll have to part.
I should have the courage to leave you then,
But I don't have it.
The name of this bridge is Aizenbashi.
If you cross it once, you can't go back.
If you turn around, it will only become a bridge of memories.
I'm a foolish woman,
And I don't know much about life.
But when you beckon me,
I want to cross it, but I can't.
