Текст и перевод песни Sojiro - 故郷の廃家

故郷の廃家

幾年(いくとせ)ふるさと 来てみれば
咲く花 鳴く鳥 そよぐ風
門辺(かどべ)の小川の ささやきも
なれにし昔に 変らねど
荒れたる 我(わ)が家(いえ)に
住む人 絶えてなく

昔を語るか そよぐ風
昔をうつすか 澄める水
朝夕かたみに 手をとりて
遊びし友人(ともびと) いまいずこ
さびしき 故郷(ふるさと)や
さびしき 我(わ)が家(いえ)や

The deserted house in my hometown

My dear, after all these years I have come back to my hometown
The flowers are blossoming, the birds are singing, and the wind is rustling
The murmuring of the stream by the gate
Although the nostalgia remains unchanged
The house where we used to live is desolate
And it seems no one lives here now

The murmuring wind tells the story of the past
The clear water reflects the past
Once we held hands and walked together in the morning and evening
My dear friend, where are you now?
My dear, how lonely and desolate our hometown has become
My dear, how lonely and desolate our home has become
