Текст и перевод песни Kiyoshi Hikawa - 襟裳岬

襟裳岬

北の街ではもう 悲しみを暖炉で
燃やしはじめてるらしい
理由のわからないことで
悩んでいるうち 老いぼれてしまうから

黙りとおした 歳月を
ひろい集めて 暖めあおう

襟裳の春は
何もない春です

君は二杯めだよね コーヒーカップに
角砂糖をひとつだったね
捨てて来てしまった わずらわしさだけを
くるくるかきまわして

通りすぎた 夏の匂い
想い出して 懐かしいね

襟裳の春は
何もない春です

日々の暮しはいやでも やってくるけど
静かに笑ってしまおう
いじけることだけが 生きることだと
飼い馴らしすぎたので

身構えながら 話すなんて
ああ おくびょう なんだよね

襟裳の春は
何もない春です
寒い友だちが
訪ねてきたよ

遠慮はいらないから
暖まってゆきなよ

Cape Erimo

In the northern town, they've already begun
burning their sorrows in the fireplace, it seems.
While we fret over things we can't understand,
we'll grow old, my love, so let's not.

Let's gather up the silent years,
and hold each other close and warm.

Spring on Cape Erimo
is a spring of emptiness.

That's your second cup of coffee, isn't it?
Just one sugar cube, as I recall.
We left behind all our worries,
and now we just stir them round and round.

The scent of summer passing by,
remembering it, how sweet it feels.

Spring on Cape Erimo
is a spring of emptiness.

The daily grind will keep on coming,
but let's just laugh it off, my dear.
We've tamed ourselves into believing
that sulking is the only way to live.

To be so guarded when we speak,
oh, how timid we've become.

Spring on Cape Erimo
is a spring of emptiness.
A cold friend has
come to visit us.

Don't be shy, come in
and warm yourself by the fire.
