Translation of the song ふれ逢い橋 artist Yoko Nagayama

枯れることなく流れる　小名木(おなぎ)川

The Onagi river flows without withering

ポツリポツリと水面を　叩く雨

Little by little the rain hits the surface

幼な子をこの腕(て)に　抱きしめて

Holding a very young boy by the arm

女捨て　涙すて

I'm a woman who lives

生きる女の　しぐれ橋

Throwing away women and tears on the bridge of rains

みんな過去から逃れて　この街へ

Everybody escape from the past to this town

古い家並み連らなる　細い路地

A row of old houses extends through a fine alley

住む人のやさしさ　ぬくもりに

The tenderness of who live, warmly

いやされて　励まされ

Heal and encourage me

暮らすふたりの　さだめ橋

I live in the bridge of our destiny

川は流れる今日も　人の世の

Today the river and the world of people flow too

愁(うれ)い嘆(なげ)きを沈めて　街の谷

The valley of the town drowns sorrows and grieves

ささやかな倖せ　夢にみて

Dreaming of a modest happiness

行く人も　来る人も

People who come and go

愛がふれ逢う　情け橋

Make contact with love in the bridge of sympathy
