Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - 冬蛍

冬蛍

吹雪の向こうの 赤ちょうちん
さすらう心に ふと沁みて
暖簾をくぐれば 振り返る

女の笑顔の 暖かさ

しばれて来たわね お客さん
ストーブ真近に 来てという
熱燗頼めば 兄さんに
似てると真顔で 俺を見る
蛍 蛍 誰を待つのやら

針音まじりの 番外地
兄貴の十八番の歌だとか
ホッケに湯豆腐 氷頭(ひず)なます
私のおごりと はしゃぎ酒

表は真っ白 雪嵐
朝まで飲んでも いいと言う
男の心の 流氷を
じんわり溶かして 夜は更ける
蛍 蛍 ぽつり雪ん中
蛍 蛍 誰を待つのやら

Winter Firefly

A glowing red lantern beyond the blizzard
It touches my wandering heart
I cross the threshold looking backward

The warmth of a woman's smile

Come closer, it's getting cold outside
She beckons me near the stove
I order hot sake, and ask for her brother
She says I look just like him, with a serious face
Firefly, firefly, who are you waiting for?

The distant land is filled with the sound of sewing machines
My brother's favorite song plays softly
There's dried squid, tofu soup, and jellyfish salad
I offer to pay, and we laugh and drink

Outside, a blinding snowstorm rages
She says I can stay and drink all night
The ice in my heart begins to melt
As the night wears on, the snow continues to fall
Firefly, firefly, a flicker in the snow
Firefly, firefly, who are you waiting for?
