Fusetsu Nagare Tabi

Flowing Journey

Fusetsu Nagare Tabi

If you break just one shamisen string
やぶれひとえにしゃみせんだけば
Yabure hitoe ni shamisen dakeba
The snow falls gently
よされよされとゆきがふる
Yosare yosare to yuki ga furu
Blowing life into my short sixteen fingers
なきのじゅうろくみじかいゆびに
Naki no juroku mijikai yubi ni
I've crossed over
いきをふきかけこえてきた
Iki o fukikake koetekita
Oh my, oh my
あいや- あいや
Aiya- aiya
The port of Tsugaru Bay
つがるはちのへおみなと
Tsugaru hachinohe ominato

If the shamisen breaks, beat the drums
しゃみがおれたらりょてをたたけ
Shami ga oretara ryote o tatake
If there are no drumsticks, use branches
ばちがなければくしでひけ
Bachi ga nakereba kushi de hike
I like anything that makes a sound
おとのでるものなんでもすきで
Oto no deru mo no nande mo suki de
While listening to the seagulls cry
かもめなくこえききながら
Kamome nakukoe kikinagara
Oh my, oh my
あいや- あいや
Aiya- aiya
Otaru, Hakodate, Tomakomai
おたるはこだてとまこまい
Otaru hakodate tomakomai

Hidden under the bottom of a burnt pot
なべのこげめしたもとでかくし
Nabe no kogemeshi tamoto de kakushi
Has the smell of my father's face
ぬけてきたのかおやのめを
Nukete kita no ka oya no me o
The laughter of the person who smiled at the evening sun
かよいずまだとわらったひとの
Kayoi zuma da to waratta hito no
Even the scent of their hair is nostalgic
かみのにおいもなつかしい
Kami no nioi mo natsukashii
Oh my, oh my
あいや- あいや
Aiya- aiya
The rivers of tears won't dry
るもいたきかわわっかない
Rumoi takikawa wakkanai
