Текст и перевод песни Aki Yashiro - 港町絶唱

港町絶唱

こんな私も 春には都会で
笑いころげて くらしてた
せまい部屋でも 小鳥を飼って
好きな男に もたれてた
北国行きの 列車に乗って
流れる景色に 泣いたのは
夏から 秋の境い目で
すべてがかげる頃のこと
ああ 海峡に 日が落ちる

そして私は 無口になって
波の音きき 生きている
鴎ばかりが にぎわう海を
日がな一日 見つめてる
落ち着き場所も まだ決めかねて
荷物もとかずに 部屋の隅
秋から冬へ 日が移り
死にたくなれば それもよい
ああ 海峡に 雪が舞う

浮灯台が 身をもみながら
港のはずれに かすむのは
冬から春へとかけ足で
女の胸も とける頃
ああ 海峡に 風が吹く

Port Town Elegy

In the springtime, even I was in the city,
Laughing and rolling on the floor.
I kept a small bird in my cramped room,
And leaned on the man I loved.
I boarded the train bound for the north,
And cried at the passing scenery.
It was on the cusp of summer and autumn,
When everything began to wane.
Ah, the sun sets in the strait.

And so, I became a woman of few words,
Listening to the sound of the waves as I lived.
I gazed at the sea, where only the seagulls thrived,
All day long.
I have yet to find my place of rest,
And my luggage remains unpacked in the corner of the room.
As autumn turns to winter, the days pass by,
And if I wish to die, so be it.
Ah, the snow dances in the strait.

The lighthouse writhes in agony,
Fading into the mist at the edge of the harbor.
From winter to spring, at a breakneck pace,
The hearts of women, too, begin to thaw.
Ah, the wind blows in the strait.
