Little Bird - 石川智晶 перевод на английский

Little Bird

道しるべとなる枝をくわえて
その足下に落としてあげよう
向こう岸にいるあの子が迷わぬように

あなたの瞳に映るもの
それが全てだと思わないで
まだ青すぎる実を拾いながら笑う横顔
その苦さを知っても小さな羽が運ぶものは輝いて
生まれて来ただけで完璧だと
飛び立つ後ろ姿を抱いた

夕立の中で木々の陰に
息をひそめてる
鳴き声を聞かせて
雨が上がるまでに少し話したい

あなたの瞳が望むもの
小さな巣を作るこの羽で
生まれて来る子供たちをつなぐために生きよう
その背中を見送る寂しさと
抱きしめて眠ったこの場所は
永遠に空席のままだろう
あなたを誇りに思う ずっと

あなたの瞳に映るもの
それが全てだと思わないで
まだ青すぎる実を拾いながら笑う横顔
その苦さを知っても小さな羽が運ぶものは輝いて
生まれて来ただけで完璧だと
飛び立つ後ろ姿を抱いた

Little Bird

Carrying twigs that will become signposts,
I will drop them at your feet,
So that the child on the other side of the river will not get lost.

What you see in your eyes,
Don't let it be all you think about.
A smiling face picking up unripe berries.
Even if you know the bitterness, the small wings that carry it shine.
Just by being born, it's perfect.
I embraced your back as you flew away.

In the downpour, under the shade of the trees,
I hide,
Let me hear your voice.
Before the rain ends, I want to talk to you for a while.

What your eyes long for,
With these feathers, I'll build a small nest.
For the children to come, let's live on.
The loneliness of seeing you off,
And this place where I fell asleep in your arms,
Will forever be empty,
I will always be proud of you,

What you see in your eyes,
Don't let it be all you think about.
A smiling face picking up unripe berries.
Even if you know the bitterness, the small wings that carry it shine.
Just by being born, it's perfect.
I embraced your back as you flew away.
