Paroles et traduction Kazumasa Oda - 生まれ来る子供たちのために

生まれ来る子供たちのために

多くの過ちを 僕もしたように
愛するこの国も 戻れない もう戻れない

あのひとがそのたび 許してきたように
僕はこの国の 明日をまた想う

広い空よ 僕らは 今どこにいる
頼るもの 何もない
あの頃へ帰りたい

広い空よ 僕らは 今どこにいる

(生まれ来る子供たちのために何を語ろう)

何を語ろう

君よ 愛するひとを守り給え
大きく手を拡げて
子供たちを抱き給え
ひとり またひとり 友は集まるだろう
ひとり またひとり ひとり またひとり

真白な帆を上げて
旅立つ船に乗り
力の続く限り
ふたりでも漕いでゆく
その力を与え給え
勇気を与え給え

For the Children Yet to Be Born

I have made many mistakes in my life,
As has this country we love, but we can't go back.

She has forgiven me every time,
And so I continue to dream of a better tomorrow for this country.

Oh, vast sky, where are we now?
We have nothing to rely on,
I wish we could go back to the way things were.

Oh, vast sky, where are we now?

(What can I tell the children yet to be born?)

What can I tell them?

Oh, beloved, please protect your loved ones,
Open your arms wide,
And embrace our children.
One by one, our friends will gather,
One by one, one by one.

With sails of pure white,
We board the ship to sail away,
As long as we have strength,
We will row on, even if only the two of us.
Give us that strength,
Give us courage.
