If I Could Fly in the Sky

Taeko Ohnuki (大貫 妙子)

空を飛べたら (sora wo tobetara)

止まり木いつも揺らしてる
Tomariki itsumo yurashiteru
おまえはそこが好きなのかい
omae wa soko ga suki na no kai
とくべつ今日は気嫌よく
tokubetsu kyō wa kigen yoku
歌を聞かせてくれるのね
uta wo kikasete kureru no ne
籠を開けておくから 翼ひろげて
kago wo akete oku kara tsubasa hirogete

渡り鳥の様に 飛んでおゆきよ
watari dori no yō ni tondeo yuki yo

庭の木陰に寝転んで
niwa no kokage ni netonde
昼の時間をつぶしてる
hiru no jikan wo tsubushiteru
いまごろ樫の木の上で
imagoro kashi no ki no ue de
あいつ私を笑うだろう
aitsu watashi wo warau darou
もしも空に仲間が できなくっても
moshimo sora ni nakama ga dekinakutte mo
ここへ舞戻らず 生きてゆけるさ
koko e ma modorazu ikite yukeru sa

空耳かと思ったまだ夢現
soramimi ka to omotta mada yume utsutsu
少し悲しそうな私呼ぶ声
sukoshi kanashisō na watashi yobu koe
あきれて顔しかめる 似た者同志
akirete kao shikameru nitamono dōshi
歌いながら揺らす 好きな止まり木
utainagara yurasu suki na tomariki

If I Could Fly in the Sky

Perch always swaying
Do you like it there?
Especially today, feeling cranky
You're letting me hear your song
I'll leave the cage open, spread your wings

Like a migratory bird, fly away

Lying in the shade of the garden tree
Killing time during the day
By now, up in the oak tree
That person must be laughing at me
Even if I can't find companions in the sky
I won't return here, I'll keep on living

I thought it was a mishearing, still in a dream
A voice calling me, sounding a bit sad
I look puzzled, frowning, kindred spirits
Swaying while singing, my favorite perch
