Translation of the song 山の煙 artist Chieko Baishō

山の煙の　ほのぼのと

A smoke was wavering gently

たゆたう森よ　あの道よ

Over the road in the forest

幾年消えて　流れゆく

It still flows after many years since then

想い出のああ夢の一筋

A fantastic stream of smoke in my memory

遠く静かに　揺れている

Swaying silently in the distance

谷の真清水　汲み合うて

We scooped pure mountain water together

ほほえみ交わし　積んだ花

We picked flowers and smiled at each other

山鳩の声　聴きながら

Hearing the voices of the mountain doves

行きずりの　ああ君と共に

I went down the wide open slope with you

下りた峠の　はろけさよ

A stranger I met on the road.

山の煙のたそがれに

Against the twilight over the mountain smoke

別れた人の　後ろ影

Was a silhouette of the man walking away

あと振り返り　手を振れば

I looked back and waved my hand

うすれゆく　ああ淡い夕日が

How I miss that evening sky

染めた茜の　なつかしく

Dyed in red by the fading evening glow
