The Lyrics of "Kawa no Nagare no You-ni" "As the Stream of Water Goes By"
☆ translated by OOCUBO MASAHIRO☆
知らず知らず 歩いてきた 細く長い この道
振り返れば 遥か遠く 故郷(フルサト)が見える
I have come all the way as I was not aware
What a long and narrow road this was.
I can see my old home town far behind me.
Now I know how long I've walked along.
でこぼこ道や 曲がりくねった道
地図さえない それもまた人生
Sometimes the road is too rough,
And sometimes also winding enough.
I don't even have a map to tell me where to go. But such is life.
ああ 川の流れのように ゆるやかに
いくつも 時代は過ぎて
Ah,just as the stream of water goes by,
In a gentle pace times come and go one after another.
ああ 川の流れのように とめどなく
空が黄昏(タソガレ)に 染まるだけ
Ah,just as the stream of water goes by,
Down to every end of the sky an evening glow is spreading again.
