kawa no nagare no you ni - Misora Hibari
A lovely song for you today. It was sung by a Japanese musical legend, Misora Hibari. A star in Japan similar to our Aretha Franklin maybe?
Shirazu shirazu aruite kita // The path is narrow and long and
Hosoku nagai kono miti // We walk along it without much thought but
Furi kaereba haruka tooku // If we turn our heads, far in the distance
Furusato ga mieru // We can see our places of origin.
Dekoboko miti ya magari kunetta miti // Bumpy and winding; these uncharted roads,
Tizu sae nai sore mo mata dinsei // But then again- that is life isn't it?
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river,
Yuruyaka ni // Laid back
Ikutsu mo didai wa suguite // So much time passes
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river,
Tomedo naku // Endlessly
Sora ga tasogare ni somaru dake // The distant sky saturated with twilight
Ikiru koto wa tabi suru koto // To live is to journey
Owari no nai kono miti // On this path without an end
Ai suru hito soba ni tsurete // and people we love draw near us
Yume sagashi nagara // As we search for our dreams
Ame ni furarete nukarunda miti demo // Even though the rains may fall, muddying the way
Itsuka wa mata hareru hi ga kuru kara // Someday, again, another clear day will surely come
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river,
Odayaka ni // Calmly
Kono mi o makasete itai // We seek to release ourselves
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river
Utsuriyuku // As we wait
Kisetsu yukidoke o matinagara // For the thaws of the coming seasons
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river,
Odayaka ni // Calmly
Kono mi o makasete itai // We release ourselves
Aa kawa no nagare no you ni // Ah, like the flow of the river,
Itsumademo // Forever
Aoi seseragui o kikinagara // As we listen to the flow of the blue.
