Текст и перевод песни 石川さゆり - 天の川情話

天の川情話

出雲崎から 荒海見れば
遠くにかすむ 佐渡ヶ島
今ごろあなたは 手紙をよんで
別れに気づいて いるでしょう
佐渡は
佐渡はいよいか 住みよいか
せまい町ゆえ 島ゆえに
私の恋には つらすぎた

この身のぞまれ 嫁ぐのならば
あなたと決めて いたけれど
私の願いは 叶わぬ願い
女が泣いたら それですむ
佐渡は
佐渡はいよいか 住みよいか
両津みなとで 船にのり
私はふるさと 棄ててきた

涙こらえて 唇かんで
見上げりゃ 空に天の川
このままあなたと 続いていたら
父母世間を せまくする
佐渡は
佐渡はいよいか 住みよいか
つらい運命の 恋ゆえに
私は帰らぬ 旅に出た

Romance of the Milky Way

From Izumozaki, when I look over the rough sea,
Far away in the mist lies the island of Sado.
Right now, you must be reading the letter I sent,
And realizing that I am leaving.
Sado,
How kind and hospitable is Sado?
A narrow town, an isolated island,
It was too harsh for my love to survive.

If I had to choose a husband, to marry,
You were the one I had decided on.
But my wish is a wish that won't be fulfilled,
So a woman's tears are all that's left to me.
Sado,
How kind and hospitable is Sado?
At the port of Ryōtsu, I'll board a ship,
And leave my hometown behind.

Biting my lips to hold back my tears,
I look up at the sky and the Milky Way.
If I had continued down this path with you,
My parents and the world would have made life unbearable.
Sado,
How kind and hospitable is Sado?
A harsh fate has driven me to love,
And so I set out on a journey from which I will never return.
