Текст и перевод песни Shinji Tanimura - 花束 -最後の汽笛-

花束 -最後の汽笛-

今汽笛を鳴らし最後の汽車が走る
汗とすすにまみれ走り続けてきた機関士がいた
娘は19 春になれば花嫁になってしまう
それが 辛くもあり嬉しくもある
そんな父親だった

この駅のはずれで泣いてた子供達も
成人式を終えて都会へと出て行って戻らない
ルリ色の海
右手に拡がり通りすぎる踏切はかつて
妻の手を引いて家を出た想い出のあの場所

昨日の夜のこと 娘がぽつりつぶやいた
彼の望んでる都会へ
私もついて行きたい"お願い"
"いいよ"と陽気に言っはみたが
思い出は消せるどころか
飲めない酒を浴びるほど飲み
天井を見つめて泣いた

この汽車が最後の駅に着いたその時には
私の人生の仕事はすべて終ってしまう
楽しい日々をくれた娘に精一杯の思いを込めて
すすで汚れたこの手で今 最後の汽笛を贈ろう

ララ... ララ...

汽車が着いた駅の古びた柱の影に
人垣をさけながら立たずむ白髪まじりの妻がいた
頬をつたわる涙ぬぐわず 白い花束をかかえて
声にはならないけれど かすかに唇が動いた
"ごくろうさま"

ララ... ララ...

Bouquet -The Last Whistle-

Now the whistle blows, and the last train departs.
Through sweat and soot, a dedicated engine driver worked.
His daughter is nineteen; if spring comes, she will be a bride.
That is painful, yet exciting
Such was the father.

The children that used to cry at this station's edge,
Have celebrated Coming of Age Day, gone to the city and never returned.
A cerulean sea.
In my right hand, the crossing that passes by was once
The place where I took my wife's hand and left our home.

Last night, my daughter muttered something.
To the city he dreams of,
"I want to go with you, too. Please?"
"Okay," I said cheerfully,
But the memories are not something that can be erased.
I drank until I was completely drunk,
And stared at the ceiling and cried.

When this train arrives at its last station,
My life's work will be complete.
To the daughter who gave me such joy, with all my heart
With these dirty, sooty hands, I will present one last whistle.

La-la... La-la...

At the station where the train arrived, in the shade of an old pillar,
My wife, her hair touched with gray, was standing, avoiding the crowd.
With tears streaming down her cheeks,
She whispered something without making a sound, her lips barely moving.
"Well done."

La-la... La-la...
