故郷

明天到京都，送上一曲民謠《故鄉》。山明水秀，鳥語花香，鄉思之情，不可言喻。





1. 兎（うさぎ）追いし　かの山
I hunted rabbits on that mountain.
小鮒（こぶ な）釣りし　かの川
I fished for minnows in that stream.
夢はいまも　めぐりて
I still dream about those days I spent when a child.
忘れがたき　ふるさと
How I miss and long for my old country home.

2.　いかにいます　父　母
Mother and father　―　are they doing well?
つつがなしや　友がき
Is everything all right with my old friends?
雨に風に　つけても
When the rain falls, when the wind blows, I recall
思いいずる　ふるさと
My happy childhood and my old country home.

3. こころざしを　はたして
Some day when I have done what I set out to do,
いつの日に か　帰らん
I will return to where I used to have my home.
山はあおき　ふるさと
Lush and green are the mountains of my homeland.
水は清き　ふるさと
Pure and clear is the water of my old country home
