Текст и перевод песни Saori Yuki & Sachiko Yasuda - Yashi no Mi

Yashi no Mi

名も知らぬ 遠き島より
流れ寄る 椰子の実一つ
故郷の岸を離れて

汝はそも 波に幾月

旧の樹は 生いや茂れる
枝はなお 影をやなせる
われもまた 渚を枕
ひとり身の 浮寝の旅ぞ

実をとりて 胸にあつれば
新たなり 流離の憂い
海の日の 沈むを見れば
激り落つ 異郷の涙

思いやる 八重の汐々
いずれの日にか 国に帰らん

Coconut

O, from some distant and unknown isle,
You have floated to me on the waves,
A solitary coconut,

O, how long have you drifted,

Since you left your parent tree,
Whose branches still cast a shade
O'er the shore you left behind,
And I too am a wanderer,

And I too am a lonely exile,
And fresh is the grief in my heart,
As I clasp you, O coconut,
And gaze at the sun as it sinks in the sea;

And I think of the many waves
That must pass ere I reach my home again.
