a Northern Song

季節が巡り巡り

kisetsu ga meguri meguri

The seasons cycle around

街路樹は冬支度

gairoju wa fuyujitaku

and the roadside trees prepare for winter

初雪が舞う頃にまた思い出す

hatsuyuki ga mau koro ni mata omoidasu

When the first snow flutters I'll recall again

君を見送ってから

kimi o miokutte kara

After I saw you off,

5回目の冬が来る

gokaime no fuyu ga kuru

the fifth winter is on it's way

されど胸の時計は凍てついたまま

saredo mune no tokei wa itetsuita mama

Yet the clock in my heart stays frozen

夢追いかける君は　

yume oikakeru kimi wa

You pursue your dreams

そう少年みたいで

sō shōnen mitai de

just like a boy

引き留めたって　

hikitometatte

Even holding you back

そう無駄なこと知ってたから･･･

sō muda na koto shitte'ta kara …

I realized would be pointless, and so …

君のぬくもりまだ覚えてる

kimi no nukumori mada oboete'ru

I still remember your warmth

でも雪のように

demo yuki no yō ni

Like the snow, however,

溶けて消えて行きそう

tokete kiete ikisō

it seems about to thaw, vanish and go away

イマ　アイタイヨ･･･　

ima aitai yo …

I want to see you right now …

ムネガ　イタイヨ･･･

mune ga itai yo …

My heart aches …

私の想い風と共に届け

watashi no omoi kaze to tomoni todoke

May the wind take my feelings to you

苫小牧とまこまいの港で

tomakomai no minato de

At Tomakomai Harbour

笑ってサヨナラしたね

waratte sayonara shita ne

I bid you farewell with a smile

胸がちぎれるくらい振り続けた

mune ga chigireru kurai furitsuzukete

though I was shaking enough to tear my heart apart

ほんとはね　

honto wa ne

In truth,

離れてしまうのが怖くて

hanarete shimau no ga kowakute

I was scared to separate

笑顔の裏に　

egao no ura ni

and behind my smile

涙をそっと隠していた･･･

namida o sotto kakushite ita …

I was quietly hiding my tears …

君のメロディまだ覚えてる

kimi no merodi mada oboete'ru

I still remember your melody

ねぇ届くかな？

nē todoku ka na?

Hey I wonder if you can hear it

遠く君の胸に･･･

tōku kimi no mune ni …

in your heart far away …?

ソバニ　イタイヨ･･･　

soba ni itai yo …

I want to be with you …

ダキシメタイヨ･･･

dakishimetai yo …

I want to hold you tight …

独りの夜に白い切なさつもる･･･

hitori no yoru ni shiroi setsunasa tsumoru …

On nights alone, white sorrow piles up …

今聴こえたよ君のハーモニー

ima kikoeta yo kimi no hāmonī

I just heard it, your harmony

遠い街から風に乗って響く･･･

tōi machi kara kaze ni notte hibiku …

It echoes from a distant town carried by the wind …

君のぬくもりまだ覚えてる

kimi no nukumori mada oboete'ru

I still remember your warmth,

空を見上げて涙こぼれぬように･･･

sora o miagete namida koborenu yō ni …

looking up at the sky so my tears don't fall …

君のメロディ今歌ってる

kimi no merodi ima utatte'ru

I'm singing your melody right now

哀しい気持ち雪と共に去りぬ･･･

kanashii kimochi yuki to tomoni sarinu …

My sad feelings have gone with the snow …

イマ　アイタイヨ･･･　

ima aitai yo …

I want to see you right now …

ムネガ　イタイヨ･･･

mune ga itai yo …

My heart aches …

ソバニ　イタイヨ･･･　

soba ni itai yo …

I want to be with you …

ダキシメタイヨ･･･

dakishimetai yo …

I want to hold you tight …
