Paroles et traduction Hibari Misora - 八月五日の夜だった

八月五日の夜だった

かすりの着物 赤い帯
提灯ぽっかり ぶらさげて
橋の畔(たもと)で 影法師
二つ重ねた 指切りの
八月五日の夜だった
貴方はどこに貴方はどこに

女心は綾結び
蛍一匹 闇をさく
橋の畔の 願いごと
いつか貴方の お嫁さん
八月五日の夜だった
貴方はどこに貴方はどこに

三人四人五人の子
どんぐりまなこ 小さな手
橋の畔で 鬼ごっこ
二人の明日を 夢にみた
八月五日の夜だった
貴方はどこに貴方はどこに

August Eve

Kimono of gauze with crimson sash,
Lantern hoisted high to cast,
By the bridge's side, my silhouette,
Two fingers bound in promise set,
August Eve, I'll never forget.
My darling, where are you, where are you now?

A woman's heart, a knot of silk,
A firefly's flight, the darkness ilk,
By the bridge, my wish I stake,
That someday I will be your mate.
August Eve, I'll never forget,
My darling, where are you, where are you now?

Children three, or four, or five,
Eyes of hazel, hands so small alive,
By the bridge, they romp and strive,
In our future, dreams do thrive,
August Eve, I'll never forget,
My darling, where are you, where are you now?
