Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - 北の挽歌

北の挽歌

吹雪がやんで 雲間が切れて
海風にまかれて 海猫(ごめ)が啼く
オショロマ岬 番屋では

夜通し 焚火たく
浜の女がよー 今日も沖を見る
かわいい男衆(やんしゅう)の漁船(ふね)を待つ
あんたが無事で もどって来たら
死ぬほどあんたを 抱いてやる

この子を膝に 遊ばせながら
髭面(ひげづら)をゆるめて 呑んでいた
真冬の海は 寒かろに
涙が 頬つたう
浜の女がよー 今日も沖を見る
こどもを抱きしめ 背伸びする
あんたを今も 死ぬほど好きと
風吹く浜辺で 読んでみる

浜の女がよー 今日も沖を見る
かわいい男衆(やんしゅう)の漁船(ふね)を待つ
あんたが無事で もどって来たら
死ぬほどあんたを 抱いてやる

Northern Elegy

The blizzard has passed, and the clouds are clearing.
Black-tailed gulls cry in the wind.
In the fishing hut at Oshoroma Cape,

a bonfire burns all night.
The fisherwoman waits by the shore.
She waits for the fishing boat with her beloved crew.
When you return safe and sound,
I will hold you so tightly I could die.

She plays with a child on her lap,
her bearded face relaxed as she sips
a drink in the cold winter air.
Tears stream down her cheeks
The fisherwoman waits by the shore,
holding her child close and straining her eyes.
She loves you so much, even now.
She murmurs it on the windswept shore.

The fisherwoman waits by the shore,
She waits for the fishing boat with her beloved crew.
When you return safe and sound,
I will hold you so tightly I could die.
