Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - Otou-san E

Otou-san E

躰は大丈夫かい 元気で暮らせよと
電話の向こうの やせた姿が浮かびます
いつも照れては 目をそらす
そんなあなたの横顔が 懐かしい
もう会いたくても 会えないのですね
もう声を聞くことも ないのですね

いつもは無口な父が いい男性見つけろよ
ポツリと一言 お酒飲み干しつぶやいた
ふっと涙が頬つたう
心配かけてた 娘でごめんね
もう会いたくても 会えないのですね
もう声を聞くことも ないのですね

もう会いたくても 会えないのですね
もう声を聞くことも ないのですね

せめて「ありがとう」の言葉 言いたかった

To My Father

I hope you are well and that you are living a healthy life.
I can see your thin frame on the other end of the phone line.
You always look away, embarrassed,
and your profile is so familiar.
Now I cannot see you, even if I want to.
Now I cannot hear your voice, even if I want to.

My habitually taciturn father says, "Find a good man,"
in a rare moment of candour, downing his drink.
Tears trickle down my cheeks.
I am sorry for causing you so much worry.
Now I cannot see you, even if I want to.
Now I cannot hear your voice, even if I want to.

Now I cannot see you, even if I want to.
Now I cannot hear your voice, even if I want to.

I wish I could at least say "thank you."
