Paroles et traduction Kosaku Yamada feat. Yuko Mifune - 赤とんぼ

赤とんぼ

夕焼け小焼けの 赤とんぼ
負われて見たのは いつの日か
山の畑の 桑の実を
小かごに摘んだは まぼろしか
十五でねえやは 嫁に行き
お里の便りも 絶え果てた
夕焼け小焼けの 赤とんぼ
とまっているよ 竿の先
夕焼け小焼けの 赤とんぼ
負われて見たのは いつの日か
山の畑の 桑の実を
小かごに摘んだは まぼろしか
十五でねえやは 嫁に行き
お里の便りも 絶え果てた
夕焼け小焼けの 赤とんぼ
とまっているよ 竿の先

Red Dragonfly

In the twilight's crimson glow, a red dragonfly
Carries me back to a distant day
To mountain fields where mulberries grew
And I picked them in my tiny basket, like a fleeting dream
At fifteen years, I bid my home farewell
And the letters from my village, they slowly fell
In the twilight's crimson glow, a red dragonfly
Rests at the tip of a bamboo pole
In the twilight's crimson glow, a red dragonfly
Carries me back to a distant day
To mountain fields where mulberries grew
And I picked them in my tiny basket, like a fleeting dream
At fifteen years, I bid my home farewell
And the letters from my village, they slowly fell
In the twilight's crimson glow, a red dragonfly
Rests at the tip of a bamboo pole
