防人の唄 ♥ Sakimori no Uta ♥ Song of a Stationed Soldier

昔ある若者が夜の浜辺で

mukashi aru wakamono ga yoru no hamabe de

A long time ago, on a beach at night a youth

波の音に合わせ 竪琴を弾いていた

nami no oto ni awase tategoto o hiite ita

was playing a harp to the sound of the waves

その夜の空は晴れ　遠くの沖へ

sono yo no sora wa hare tōku no oki e

The sky that night was clear and far into the sea

静かに静かに消えていった

shizuka ni shizuka ni kiete itta

it quietly, quietly disappeared

虚しその調べ　さざ波にのれ

munashi sono shirabe sazanami ni nore

Let that empty tune ride on the ripples

遥か古里よ　恋し母よ

haruka furusato yo koishi haha yo

O far-away hometown, O beloved mother,

懐かしその日々は遠くの沖へ

natsukashi sono hibi wa tōku no oki e

I miss those days far across the sea

静かに静かに消えていった

shizuka ni shizuka ni kiete itta

that quietly, quietly disappeared

♫

♫

♫

波の中に消える防人の唄

nami no naka ni kieru sakimori no uta

The song of the stationed soldier disappears into the waves

残る琴の調べ　涙を流し

nokoru koto no shirabe namida o nagashi

The lingering melody of the koto brings tears

破れし若者は空の星へと

yabureshi wakamono wa sora no hoshi e to

To the stars of the sky, the broken youth

静かに静かに流れていった

shizuka ni shizuka ni nagarete itta

was quietly, quietly carried off

静かに静かに流れていった

shizuka ni shizuka ni nagarete itta

was quietly, quietly carried off
