なごりの波止場 - Kiyoshi Hikawa перевод на английский

なごりの波止場

辛い別れの この淋しさを
知るや知らずや 鳴くカモメ

連れて行けない 男の旅路
せめて心は 置いて行く
波が後引く なごりの波止場

港伝いに ランプが点る
忍ぶ心を 照らすよに

なんで忘れよ 忘られようか
ふたり重ねた おもいでは
風が冷たい なごりの波止場

むせぶ汽笛が 別れを急かす
募る未練が ままならぬ

またの逢う日を 待ってておくれ
云ってまぶたの 裏で泣く
潮路はるかな なごりの波止場

Nagori no Hatoba (Lingering Wharf)

This painful parting, this loneliness,
Do the crying seagulls know, or do they not?

On this journey a man can't take you with him,
At least my heart I'll leave behind.
The waves pull back, at the lingering wharf.

Along the harbor, lamps are lit,
As if to illuminate my hidden feelings.

How can I forget, how can I be forgotten?
The memories we two have made together,
The wind is cold, at the lingering wharf.

The choked whistle hurries our parting,
My growing regret is unbearable.

Please wait for the day we meet again,
I say, as tears well up behind my eyelids.
The sea route stretches far, from the lingering wharf.
