Translation of the song コスモス通信 artist Yuki Saitō

Japanese

コスモス通信

English translation

Signal from Cosmos

白い雲の飛行船が

An airship in the pale clouds

風に追われてく

is trailed by a breeze

遠い街のあの人に

The person in the city that's far away,

元気と伝えて

it asks if he's well

格子縞の綿のシャツを

The checkered cotton shirt

今も来てるかな?

I wonder if he still wears it even now?

翳りひとつ無い眼は

His clear eyes with not a single stain

昔のままかな?

I wonder if they're still the same as a long time ago?

もしもまだ 私の写真飾ってたら

If he could still be decorating my photographs by any chance

その横に コスモス添えて来てね

Please attach the cosmos to his profile

もうじき冬が

Soon enough the winter

雪のペンキですべて消してく

Will make everything disappear with its snow paint

でも私の心まで消せない

But it won't make my heart disappear

背は同じ位だけど

His back still looks almost the same

今はノッポかも

But he might as well be a giant now

二人乗せた自転車も

The train the two of us used to ride in

小さくなったわ

Is also becoming too small

地平線に続く線路

The track continues far into the horizon

そっと立ち止まり

As I gently come to a stop

汽車の汽笛聞くたび

Every time I hear the steam whistle of a train

胸が熱くなる

My heart becomes warm

リンゴの木の下に 埋めたブリキの箱

Underneath the apple tree I filled up a tin box

ビーズでこしらえた 指輪ふたつ

I made two rings out of beads

もうじき冬が

Soon enough the winter

雪のペンキですべて消してく

Will make everything disappear with its snow paint

でも私の心まで消せない

But it won't make my heart disappear

でもね 彼がきれいな娘と

But, you see, he's actually together with a beautiful young girl

腕を組んでたら

He's holding hands with her

遠い街にいないと

He's not in the city that's far away

そっと嘘ついて

It gently lies to me

雲の飛行船

The airship of clouds

La La La La・・・・・・

La La La La・・・・・・
