Translation of the song 白い花の咲く頃 artist Chieko Baishō
白い花の咲く頃
When White Flowers were in Bloom
白い花が咲いてた
White flowers were in bloom
ふるさとの遠い夢の日
On that day in my home town
さよならと云ったら
So long ago and seems like a dream
黙ってうつむいてたお下げ髪
When I said Good bye
悲しかったあの時の
You, a young girl in pigtails,
あの白い花だよ
You looked down silently,
白い雲が浮いてた
A white cloud was floating
ふるさとの高いあの峰
Over the high peak in my home town.
さよならと云ったら
When I said Good bye,
こだまがさよならと呼んでいた
Ecohs called back Good bye to me.
淋しかったあの時の
Ah, I remember that white cloud,
あの白い雲だよ
When I was so lonely!
白い月が泣いてた
A white moon was weeping
ふるさとの丘の木立に
Over the tree on the hill in my home town.
さよならと云ったら
When I said Good bye
涙の眸(ひとみ)でじっとみつめてた
You gazed at me with tears in your eyes.
悲しかったあの時の
Ah, I remember that white moon,
あの白い月だよ
When I was so sad!
