Paroles et traduction Akina Nakamori - 覚悟の秋

覚悟の秋

落葉焼く匂いだけが 部屋の中に流れ
目覚めても「おはよう」さえ 言う人もいない
母とする口げんかさえも 思えば楽しかった
貴方の声背中に聞き 出かけてた毎日
指先がかじかむ朝も 寒くは感じなかった

私を育てる為に 明るい笑顔だけで
ひたすらに生き続けた それがつらかった
父の名も口にせずに 「いい人よ」と一言
その言葉を感じるだけ それが父の肖像
父もなく そして今日からは 一人の初めての朝

貴方の本のすき間から こぼれ落ちた写真に
思い出だけに 生きてゆける強さを知りました
私も貴方のように 強く生きてゆきます

私も貴方のように 強く生きてゆきます

The readiness of Autumn

The smell of burning leaves flows into the room
When I wake up, there is no one to say "Good morning" to
Even the arguments with my mother were fun to think about
Listening to your voice behind my back, every day I went out
Even on cold mornings when my fingertips were numb, I didn't feel the cold

To raise me, you only smiled brightly
You kept living, it was hard
You never mentioned my father's name, you just said "He is a good man"
All I feel from those words is a portrait of my father
No father, and from today, this is the first morning I'm alone

In the space between the pages of your book
I found a fallen photograph
I learned the strength to live only on memories

Like you, I will live strongly
