流転 - Kiyoshi Hikawa перевод на английский

流転

男命をみすじの糸に
かけて 三七二十一 目くずれ
浮世かるたの浮世かるたの
浮沈み

どうせ一度はあの世とやらへ
落ちて流れて行く身じゃないか
鳴くな夜明けの鳴くな夜明けの
渡り鳥

意地は男よ情は女子
ままになるなら男を捨てて
俺も生きたや俺も生きたや
恋のため

Ruten (Wandering)

Risking my man's life on a single thread,
Twenty-one, the dice fall, a losing spread.
The fleeting world's cards, the fleeting world's game,
Ups and downs, my darling, all the same.

After all, someday I'll descend to that other side they say,
Drifting, flowing away, my love, drifting away.
Don't cry, dawn bird, don't cry, dawn bird, so high above,
A migratory soul, just like my love.

Willpower is a man's, compassion a woman's way,
If I could have my way, my dear, I'd cast manhood away.
I would have lived, I would have lived, oh so differently,
Just for love, my sweet, just for you and me.
