Текст и перевод песни 菊池桃子 - Glass no Sougen

Glass no Sougen

陽炎の線路に耳あてた
少年のあなたが振り返える

街角のプラタナスを染めてく風が
故郷の草原からたどり着く頃

あなたの写真に触れた指先が
想い出にそっとあたたまる

何も言えなくてうなずいたあの日
青春さえ時間は連れ去る

夏草の輝き思う時
あなたが遠くからささやくの

未来から届く青い手紙のように
優しさで私のこと導いてくの

あなたは私の心の勇気よ
夢を生きること教えたね

明日にはぐれた涙の破片(かけら)を
手を差しのべ笑顔で
希望に変えるひと...

何より素敵な贈り物なのね
遠くを見つめる眼差しが

あなたがその夢あきらめることは
淋しさよりつらいな... 私は

草原がいつか雪に隠れても
真夏の輝き消えないわ

あなたが描いたまぶしい未来が
瞳(め)を閉じると心に映るの...

Glass Castle

Leaning in to the hazy railway,
You as a young boy turn around,

The wind painting the city's plane trees,
About the time you arrive from hometown prairie,

My fingertips brushing your photograph,
Gently warming to memories,

Unable to speak, I nodded on that day,
Time carries off even our youth,

At times remembering the glimmering summer grass,
I hear you whispering from afar,

Like a blue letter sent from the future,
Gently leading me with kindness,

You are my heart's courage,
You taught me to pursue my dreams,

Tomorrow's lost fragments of tears,
By extending your hand with a smile,
You transform them into hope...

What a wonderful gift of all,
Your far-sighted gaze,

If you were to give up on that dream,
More than loneliness... I

Even when the prairie is hidden under snow someday,
The midsummer radiance won't fade,

The dazzling future you envision,
When I close my eyes, it reflects on my heart...
