Paroles et traduction Chisato Moritaka - この街

この街

街のはずれの駅で あなたを見送ったのは
二年も前のことね 元気にしてるかな?
この街も変わったわ あの海も埋めたてられ
砂浜もなくなった みんな思い出だわ
子供のころ遊んだ広場は 大きなビルが
みんな消えてゆく 空に浮かぶ白い雲のように
でもこの街が好きよ 生まれた街だから
空はまだ青く広いわ 田んぼも
この街が大好きよ のんびりしてるから
魚も安くて新鮮

卒業してみんなは この街を出て行くけど
方言を使わなく なるのはさびしいわ
古い校舎も建てかえられて 記念碑さえ
みんな消えてゆく 空に浮かぶ白い雲のように
でもこの街が好きよ 育った街だから
星はまだ夜空いっぱい ほたるも
この街が大好きよ きれいな泊川
このまま変わらないでいて

でもこの街が好きよ 生まれた街だから
空はまだ青く広いわ 田んぼも
この街が大好きよ のんびりしてるから
魚も安くて新鮮

This Town

At a station on the outskirts of town, I waved you goodbye
It was two years ago, I wonder if you're well?
This town has changed too, the sea has been reclaimed
And the sandy beach is gone, now it's just memories
The playground where we played as kids is now a big building
Everything's disappearing, like the white clouds floating in the sky
But I still love this town, the town where I was born
The sky is still so blue and wide, and so are the rice fields
I love this town, because it's so laid-back
And the fish is cheap and fresh

When we graduate, we'll all leave this town
And I'll miss the way we speak here
The old schoolhouse has been rebuilt, and even the monument
Everything's disappearing, like the white clouds floating in the sky
But I still love this town, the town where I grew up
The sky is still filled with stars at night, and so are the fireflies
I love this town, with its beautiful Tomari River
Please don't change

But I still love this town, the town where I was born
The sky is still so blue and wide, and so are the rice fields
I love this town, because it's so laid-back
And the fish is cheap and fresh
