Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - 妹

妹

妹よ
ふすま一枚 隔てて今
小さな寝息を たててる妹よ
お前は夜が 夜が明けると
雪のような 花嫁衣裳を着るのか
妹よ
お前は器量が悪いのだから
俺はずい分 心配していたんだ
あいつは俺の友達だから
たまには三人で 酒でもを飲もうや
妹よ
父が死に母が死に お前ひとり
お前ひとりだけが 心のきがかり
明朝お前が 出てゆく前に
あの味噌汁の 作り方を書いてゆけ

妹よ
あいつは とってもいい奴だから
どんなことが あっても我慢しなさい
そしてどうしても どうしても
どうしてもだめだったら 帰っておいで
妹よ...

Sister

My dearest sister
Across the parted fusuma, now
Your tiny breaths still stir, my baby sister
Come morning light, come early dawn
You don't suppose you'll join the snowy-veiled brides
My dearest sister
I know you were never one for looks
My heart was heavy, musing on that fact
But now he's come, my friend of all
Let's raise a glass together, all three of us
My dearest sister
Father gone and Mother gone, you stand alone
You alone remain the comfort in my heart
Before you go, before the morning comes
Leave me your recipe, show me how it's made

My dearest sister
He is a man of virtue, that much is clear
Through good times and bad, bear with him always
And if it grows too much to bear
If it grows too much to bear
Come home...my dearest sister...
