Paroles et traduction Kiyoshi Hikawa - Akagi No Komoriuta

Akagi No Komoriuta

泣くなよしよし ねんねしな
山の鴉が 啼いたとて
泣いちゃいけない ねんねしな
泣けば鴉が またさわぐ

坊や男児だ ねんねしな
親がないとて 泣くものか
お月様さえ ただひとり
泣かずにいるから ねんねしな

にっこり笑って ねんねしな
山の土産に 何をやろ
どうせやくざな 犬張子
貰ってやるから ねんねしな

Akagi's Lullaby

Don't cry, my love, hush now, sleep,
Even if the mountain crows cry out.
Don't you cry, my dear, hush now, sleep,
If you cry, the crows will just make more noise.

You're a little man, my love, hush now, sleep,
Don't cry just because your parents are gone.
Even the moon is all alone,
But it doesn't cry, so hush now, sleep.

Smile sweetly, my love, hush now, sleep,
What shall I bring you as a gift from the mountain?
It's only a cheap little paper dog toy,
But I'll bring it for you, so hush now, sleep.
