Translation of the song 下町の太陽 artist Chieko Baishō

下町の空に　輝く太陽は

The sun shining in the sky over the Shitamachi

よろこびと　悲しみ写す　ガラス窓

Is a glass window that reflects joy and sorrow

心のいたむ　その朝は

When I have pain in my heart in the morning

足音しみる　橋の上

I call to the sun standing on this bridge

あゝ太陽に　呼びかける

Which echoes gently my footsteps

下町の恋を　育てた太陽は

The sun that brought up the love of the Shitamachi

縁日に二人で分けた　丸い飴

Is a round candy we shared at the temple's festival.

口さえきけず　別れては

Where we parted without even saying a word

祭りの午後の　なつかしく

The memory of the afternoon is so sweet

あゝ太陽に　涙ぐむ

The tears come to my eyes as I look up at the sun.

下町の屋根を　温める太陽は

The sun warming the roofs of the Shitamachi

貧しくも笑顔を消さぬ　母の顔

Is a face of my mother who never stopped smiling

悩みを夢を　うちあけて

Even though we were so poor

路地にも幸の　くるように

I would confide my worries and dreams to the sun

あゝ太陽と　今日もまた

So that happiness comes in this alley
