Текст и перевод песни Akina Nakamori - 愛染橋

愛染橋

春一番が吹き荒れた後
花を敷いた路地へ
今日こそ返事聞かせてくれと
問いつめられそうで

あなた以上にやさしい人は
いそうにもないけど
結婚なんて旧い言葉に
縛られたくなくて

橋の名は愛染橋
ほほえんで渡れば恋がかなう
うつむけばそれきりとまどい橋

うちは淋しい女やからね
愛なんてよう知らん
時の流れも春のうららに
渡りたい 渡れない

髪の芯まで飽きられる日が
来ないとも限らず
そしたらすぐに別れる勇気
ありそうでなさそで

橋の名は愛染橋
ただ一度渡ればもう戻れぬ
振り向けばそこから想い出橋

うちは愚かな女やからね
人生もよう知らん
けれどあなたに手招きされて
渡りたい 渡れない

Love Bridge

After the first winds of spring have blown through
To the flower-strewn path
Today, I will finally make you give me an answer
Or so you pressure me

I can't imagine anyone being kinder than you
But
I don't want to be tied down by old-fashioned notions like marriage
I don't want to be bound

The bridge is called Love Bridge
If you cross it with a smile, your love will come true
If you cross it with your head down, it will only lead to confusion

I'm just a lonely woman
I don't know much about love
The river of time flows on, warm and gentle
I want to cross, but I can't

There may come a day when you grow tired of me
I can't rule out that possibility
If that happens, I will find the courage to leave you
Though it may seem both possible and impossible

The bridge is called Love Bridge
Once you cross it, there's no going back
If you turn around, it becomes Memory Bridge

I'm just a foolish woman
I don't know much about life
But when you beckon me
I want to cross, but I can't
