Translation of the song 青空の翳り artist Hiromi Ōta

Japanese

青空の翳り

English translation

A cloud in the blue sky

哀しみをさりげなく　笑いばなしに

A woman who can turn casually

出来る女(ひと)は素敵ね

Sadness into a funny tale is lovely

歓びも　おだやかに　飾り立てずに

A woman who tells her joy

話す女(ひと)は素敵ね

Calmly and without decorating it is lovely

私も心残り吹き消して

I also erase my regrets

過去にはやさしく手を振るわ

And wave my hand tenderly to the past

あなたにこだわらず生きてゆく

And though now I have enough time

余裕が生まれて来たけれど

To live without being obsessed to you

春から夏へ移り行く　空はさわやかすぎて

The sky is so fresh passing from spring to summer

かえって辛い季節だわ　あなたへの想い

By the contrary, it's a painful season. My affection for you

私の心のすみずみまで　広がったまま

Is spread to every corner of my heart

いつでも燃えつきて　精一杯に

A woman who always lives burning

生きる女(ひと)は素敵ね

With all her might is lovely

私も青空に負けないで

I don't give up to the blue sky

カラリと心を解き放ち

And set my brilliant heart free

あなたの手紙やら束ねては

And though I pretend to tie your letters

捨て去るつもりでいるけれど

In a bundle and abandon them

風がさらって行けるほど　軽い恋ではないし

It's not a light romance to be gone with the wind

涙で溶かし　ぼやけても　あなたとの日々は

Though my days with you get blurry with tears

私の背中のすぐうしろに　広がったまま

They're spread all over my back
