Paroles et traduction Kiyoshi Hikawa - ねぶた祭り

ねぶた祭り

ねぶた灯篭 炎がともり
町の眠りを 突き破る
生きるはじける ひかりがうねる
目抜き通りを 山車はゆく
さあさ 今年も ねぶただ ねぶただ
眠るな 北の夜

港 花火が 夜空を焦がす
ここは津軽の 夢のさと
笑顔飛び交う 祭りの夜は
揃い浴衣が 咲き乱れ
さあさ 今年も ねぶただ ねぶただ
太鼓を打ち鳴らせ

願う幸せ すべての人に
跳ねる若さと 老いの知恵
北の町にも 真夏がめぐり
秋の実りを 連れてくる
さあさ 今年も ねぶただ ねぶただ
あっぱれ 日本一

Nebuta Festival

Nebuta lanterns, flames ignite,
Piercing through the sleeping town.
Living, bursting light undulates,
Floats parade along Main Street.
Come, come, this year too, it's Nebuta, Nebuta,
Don't sleep, northern night.

Harbor fireworks scorch the night sky,
This is Tsugaru, a land of dreams.
Smiles exchanged on this festive night,
Matching yukatas bloom in profusion.
Come, come, this year too, it's Nebuta, Nebuta,
Beat the drums loud.

Wishing happiness for everyone,
Leaping youth and wisdom of age.
Midsummer comes even to this northern town,
Bringing the autumn harvest near.
Come, come, this year too, it's Nebuta, Nebuta,
Bravo, Japan's best!
