一つの星 - CHAN-MIKA перевод на английский

一つの星

生まれて父の 温もり知らず
やつれた母と 山川越えた
長い切ない 去(こ)し方の
空に輝く 一つ星
あれがおまえの 父さんだよと
教えた母も いまは亡く

父親知らずに 父親となり
悩んだものさ どう在るべきか
見様見真似で 育てたが
みんな良い子に 成れたのは
わしが守った お陰じゃぞよと
一番星が 肩を振る

嵐がすぎて よく晴れた夜は
窓辺に呼ぼう 一番星を
月はやさしい お母さん
側に輝く あの星は
あれは君らの じいちゃまだよと
指さす我も 早や五十路
指さす我も 早や五十路

A Single Star

Never knew the warmth of my father
Crossed mountains and rivers with my frail mother
Long and painful, the path we've taken
A single star shines in the sky
That's your father, she said
Now she's gone too, my mother who taught me

A father myself, despite never having one
Wondered how to be, what to do
Raised them by example
Proud to say they turned out well
It's all thanks to me, their protector
The first star shimmers

After the storm, on clear nights
I'll call up to the first star from my window
The moon, a gentle mother
The star shining beside her
That's your grandfather, I'll say
I too am pointing heavenward, now in my fifties
I too am pointing heavenward, now in my fifties
