Paroles et traduction en anglais Kiyoshi Hikawa - 夜明け前

夜明け前

花の命が 輝くときは
花燃え尽きて 散るときさ

はまなす海峡 潮路の果てに
どんな明日が きてもいい
涙で流れる 夢もいい

人のこころは 渦潮だから
身をもむことの くりかえし

はまなす海峡 霙がいつか
雪にかわれば 日も変わる
夜明けが近づく 北の海

雪のすだれで 千島は見えぬ
見えたらきっと 泣けるだろ

はまなす海峡 ふたりを乗せた
船の汽笛が こごえても
君さえいたなら 寒くない

Before Dawn

When a flower's life shines brightest,
It's when it burns out and falls.

At the end of the Hamanasu Strait,
Any tomorrow is fine with me.
Even dreams that flow with tears are alright.

A person's heart is like a swirling tide,
Constantly tossing and turning.

In the Hamanasu Strait, the sleet will someday
Turn to snow, and the day will change.
Dawn approaches the northern sea.

The Kuril Islands are hidden by a curtain of snow.
If I could see them, I'd surely cry.

Even if the ship's whistle freezes in the Hamanasu Strait,
Carrying us both,
As long as I have you, I won't be cold.
