Translation of the song 北国の慕情 artist Chieko Baishō

誰があなたを　招んだのでしょう

I wonder who has called you

まだ雪残る　樽前の

To this lake at the foot

山の麓の　この湖に

Of mount Tarumae where snow still lingers

ああ

Aah

初めて逢った人なのに

Even though it's the first person I was with

白い煙の　胸にしみいる

The white smoke permeates my chest

昨日むなしい　心の底が

The bottom of my empty heart yesterday

きょう　ほのぼのと　充たされて

Is faintly satisfied today

時を忘れる　樽前の朝

Forgetting time, the morning at Tarumae

ああ

Aah

初めて話した人なのに

Even though it's the first person who spoke

赤いタモの実　緑に映えて

The fruit of the red Manchurian Ash was shining with green

誰があなたを　招んだのでしょう

I wonder who has called you

静かな夜の　湖に

To the lake on this quiet night

ときめく心　影を沈めて

The throbbing heart sinks in the shadows

ああ

Aah

初めて知った人なのに

Even though it's the person I knew

遥か牧場の　馬のいななき

The faraway neigh of horses in the meadow 1
