Текст и перевод песни 深澤秀行 - 望郷

望郷

北の雪降る町が やけに恋しくて
老いてく 母さんひとり 不憫に思えて
故郷川(ふるさとがわ)も 冬を迎えて
凍(しば)れてきたでしょうね
望郷 そして都会(まち)の酒
そのうち... 帰る

夢を話したあの日 オヤジがむかしの
波止場で苦労話を 聞かせてくれたね
真冬の海よ 群れる鴎よ
あの日に戻しておくれよ
望郷 そして男酒
そのうち... 帰る

旅と酒と思い出 男はいつでも
荷物と思いながら 故郷(ふるさと)夢みる
北の大地よ お前のような
心を抱(いだ)いているのさ
望郷 母へ詫びる酒
そのうち... 帰る

北の大地よ お前のような
心を抱(いだ)いているのさ
望郷 オヤジ眠る町
そのうち... 帰る

Homesickness

The town where snow falls in the north, I miss it so much
My aging mother lives alone, I feel so sorry for her
My hometown river has also welcomed winter
It must have frozen over
Homesickness and sake in the city
Some day... I'll return

The day we talked about our dreams, my father told me an old story
Of his hardships at the wharf
Oh, the winter sea, the flocks of seagulls
Please take me back to that day
Homesickness and sake for men
Some day... I'll return

Journeys and sake and memories, a man always
Thinks of them as burdens, while dreaming of his hometown
Oh, the great northern land
I hold a heart that's just like yours
Homesickness, sake to apologize to my mother
Some day... I'll return

Oh, the great northern land
I hold a heart that's just like yours
Homesickness, the town where my father sleeps
Some day... I'll return
