Paroles et traduction Akina Nakamori - Cosmos

Cosmos

淡紅の秋桜が秋の日の
何気ない陽溜まりに揺れている
此頃 涙脆くなった母が
庭先でひとつ咳をする
縁側でアルバムを開いては
私の幼い日の思い出を
何度も同じ話くりかえす
独言みたいに小さな声で
こんな小春日和の穏やかな日は
あなたの優しさが浸みて来る
明日嫁ぐ私に苦労はしても
笑い話に時が変えるよ
心配いらないと笑った
あれこれと思い出をたどったら
いつの日もひとりではなかったと
今更乍ら我儘な私に
唇かんでいます
明日への荷造りに手を借りて
しばらくは楽し気にいたけれど
突然涙こぼし元気でと
何度も何度もくりかえす母
ありがとうの言葉をかみしめながら
生きてみます私なりに
こんな小春日和の穏やかな日は
もう少しあなたの子供で
いさせてください

Cosmos

Pale pink cosmos sway in the autumn sun
In the warmth of a nondescript sunny spot
Lately, my tearful mother
Coughs once in the garden
She opens the album on the porch
And recounts my childhood memories
Repeating the same story over and over
In a small voice, almost like a soliloquy
On such a mild, late-autumn day
Your kindness seeps in
Even though I'm getting married tomorrow, I'll endure any hardship
And time will turn it into a laughing matter
"Don't worry," she said with a smile
As I traced my memories
I realized I was never alone
Though it's too late, I'm being selfish
And I bite my lip
As I pack for tomorrow
She seemed cheerful for a while
But suddenly burst into tears and repeatedly wished me well
Over and over
Savoring the words "thank you"
I'll live my own life
On such a mild, late-autumn day
Let me be your child a little while longer
Please let me stay
