Paroles et traduction Kiyoshi Hikawa - 流氷子守歌

流氷子守歌

やけつく火の酒を
呷れば想い出す
海を愛したあいつの
呑みっぷり度胸よさ

そとは白いオホーツク
出てゆく船もない
俺が歌ってやろうか
流氷 子守 子守歌

男の盃を かわした船乗りさ
惚れた女を泣かすな
泣かせちゃならないと

だけど可愛いあの女を
ひとりにしたあいつ
酔えば二人で歌った
流氷 子守 子守歌

寝た子を起こすよに
吹雪が戸を叩く
おやじとめるな今夜は 拳でもう一本

あいつがいない九十六屯に
今度は俺が乗る
せめて歌ってやろうか
流氷 子守 子守歌

Drifting Ice Lullaby

Burning firewater,
as I drink, I remember you,
the one who loved the sea,
your way of drinking, your courage.

Outside, the white Okhotsk,
no ships going out tonight.
Shall I sing you a song, my love?
A drifting ice lullaby.

A sailor who shared a man's sake cup,
don't make the woman you love cry,
you must never make her cry.

But he left that sweet woman alone,
that guy,
when drunk, we sang together,
a drifting ice lullaby.

Like waking a sleeping child,
the blizzard knocks at the door.
Don't stop me, old man, tonight, one more fistful of sake!

To Kushiro, where he is no more,
this time, I'll board the ship.
At least, let me sing for you, my love,
a drifting ice lullaby.
