Translation of the song ニコライの鐘 artist Ichirō Fujiyama

青い空さえ　小さな谷間

Even the blue sky is a small valley

日暮れはこぼれる　涙の夕陽

At twilight, the sun of tears breaks

姿変れど　変わらぬ夢を

Even if I change the shape, my dreams won't change

今日も歌うか　都の空に

Will I sing them today to the capital's sky?

ああニコライの　鐘がなる

Ah, the Nicholas bells ring

きのう花咲き　今日散る落葉

The leaves that bloomed yesterday scatter today

河面(かわも)に映して　流れる月日

Days go by projected in the river

思い出しても　かえらぬ人の

Even if I remember, that person won't return

胸もゆするか　雁啼く空に

Will my chest sway in the sky where gooses sing?

ああニコライの　鐘がなる

Ah, the Nicholas bells ring

誰が読んだか　悲しい詩集

Who read a collection of sad poems?

頁をひらけば　出て来た手紙

Opening a page, a letter came out

恋に破れた　乙女は今宵

A girl broken by the love

何を祈るか　暮れゆく空に

What will wish tonight to the darkening sky?

ああニコライの　鐘がなる

Ah, the Nicholas bells ring
