寂しくなったら 帰って来いと”When you feel lonely, come back here" 涙で見送る 母の声 In tears Mother saw me off 思い出すたび逢いたいけれど Every time I recall her voice, I feel like seeing her のぞみ半ばじゃ帰れない My wish not yet fulfilled, I can't return home あの日は雨 きょうも雨 That day was raining and today is rainy, too 雨のむこうに見える故郷 Beyond the rain is seen my hometown
北窓開いて 真っ赤な林檎 Opening the north window, a bright red apple 齧ればほろりと泣けてくる Biting into it, tears fill in my eyes いつも電話じゃ強がるけれど Always on the phone I pretend cheerful, though 弱気見せたら負けになるOnce I show the white feather, it means defeat こころが雨 きょうは雨Rain in my heart and today is rainy 雨のむこうに 霞む故郷 Beyond the rain, hazy is my hometown
しぐれに煙った磐梯山に Before Mt. Bandai, dim among the cold rain 誓った約束忘れないThe vow I made will never be forgotten 元気出せよと 叱ってくれる Shouting at me, " Don't be pessimistic" 遠いお山が恋しいよ The faraway mountain I do miss That day was raining and today is rainy, too Beyond the rain is seen my hometown
