風にふるえる 緑の草原
The green meadow trembles in the wind
たどる瞳かがやく 若き旅人よ
Oh, young traveler, your shining eyes lead the way
おききはるかな 空に鐘がなる
Can you hear the distant bells ringing in the sky?
遠いふるさとにいる 母の歌に似て
Like a song from my mother, in a faraway home
やがて冬がつめたい 雪をはこぶだろう
Soon winter will bring the cold, carrying the snow
君の若い足あと
Your young footprints remain
胸に燃える恋も 埋めて
Even as love burns in my heart, bury it deep
草は枯れても いのち果てるまで
Though the grass may wither, until life meets its end

やがて深いしじまが 星を飾るだろう
