Текст песни и перевод на английский Kiyoshi Hikawa - 妹へ

妹へ

茜の空の 打掛けを
纏って妹 嫁に行く
すなおで気立ての いいやつだから
何も心配してないけれど
せめて餞け 唄ひとつ

たまには便り してやれよ
気がかりしている 母さんに
おまえが育てて 残した花に
水をあげては 言葉をかける
見れば心が わかるから

選んだ人と 末永く
寄り添い笑顔で 暮らしなよ
たったふたりの 兄妹だから
陰でひそかに 見守りながら
祈る幸せ いつまでも

To My Sister

In a madder-red sky, you wear your wedding kimono
My sister, you're leaving to be a bride
You've always been so kind and honest
I have nothing to worry about, truly
But let me sing you a farewell song

Write home every now and then, okay?
To Mother, who worries constantly
To the flowers you raised and left behind
She waters them and talks to them
For in them, she sees your heart

With the one you've chosen, for all time
Stay close, live with a smile on your face
We are only two, brother and sister
So I will watch over you secretly
Praying for your happiness always
