Paroles et traduction Kiyoshi Hikawa - 石割り桜

石割り桜

冬の長さに 耐えながら
北の大地に 根を張って
想い一念 岩も割る

石割り桜は 心の花よ
夢のつぼみが 夢のつぼみが
ああ 春に咲く

花の色なら 薄墨の
遠い想い出 しのばせる
淡き初恋 清き白

石割り桜は 癒しの花よ
胸のぬくもり 胸のぬくもり
ああ 甦る

人の心は 弱くとも
折れず曲がらず くじけない
南部魂 ここに在り

石割り桜は 生命の花よ
遅い春にも 遅い春にも
ああ 凛と咲け

Stone-Splitting Cherry Tree

Enduring the long winter,
In the northern land, taking root,
With single-minded resolve, even splitting a rock.

The stone-splitting cherry tree is a flower of the heart,
A bud of dreams, a bud of dreams,
Ah, blooming in spring.

The color of the flower is light ink,
Evoking distant memories,
A pale first love, pure white.

The stone-splitting cherry tree is a flower of healing,
The warmth in my chest, the warmth in my chest,
Ah, revived.

Even if the human heart is weak,
It doesn't break, it doesn't bend, it doesn't give up,
The spirit of Nanbu is here.

The stone-splitting cherry tree is a flower of life,
Even in a late spring, even in a late spring,
Ah, bloom proudly.
