Paroles et traduction Sachiko Yasuda feat. Saori Yuki - 夏は来ぬ

夏は来ぬ

うの花の におう垣根に 時鳥(ほととぎす) 早もきなきて
忍音(しのびね)もらす 夏は来(き)ぬ

さみだれの そそぐ山田に 早乙女が 裳裾(もすそ)ぬらして
玉苗(たまなえ)ううる 夏は来(き)ぬ

たちばなの かおるのきばの 窓近く 蛍とびかい
おこたりいさむる 夏は来(き)ぬ

棟(おうち)ちる 川べの宿の 門(かど)遠く くいな声して
夕月すずしき 夏は来(き)ぬ

さつきやみ 蛍とびかい くいななき うの花さきて
早苗うえわたす 夏は来(き)ぬ

Summer has come

The sweet-briar's scent is in the air,The early cuckoo calls afar,And summer lingers in the sky.
And summer lingers in the sky.

The rice-fields flooded lie in wait,The maidens toil, their robes are wet,The rice-plants glisten fair in the sun.
The rice-plants glisten fair in the sun.

Orange blossoms scent the air,The fireflies dance here and there,And summer's here, a welcome guest.
And summer's here, a welcome guest.

The eaves of houses drip with dew,The frogs croak loud, a plaintive crew,The moonlight falls, the stars are bright.
The moonlight falls, the stars are bright.

The azaleas bloom in the night,The fireflies dance, the frogs take flight,And summer's here, a welcome guest.
And summer's here, a welcome guest.
