２．浜辺の歌
あした 浜辺をさまよえば
昔のことぞ しのばるる
風よ 音よ 雲のさまよ
寄する波も 貝の色も
夕べ浜辺をもとおれば
昔の人ぞ しのばるる
寄する波よ 返す波よ
月の色も 星の影も
２．The Song of the Seashore
If I wander about ashore this morning
It will bring me back to good old times
The sound of the wind, the way clouds change
Waves breaking in, the color of the sea shells
If I roam about ashore at sunset
My beloved one will bring me back then
Waves breaking in and waning back
The color of the moon, the light of the stars
３．埴生の宿
埴生の宿も 我が宿
玉のよそい うらやまじ
のどかなりや 春のそら
花はあるじ 鳥は友
おーわが宿よ
楽しとも 楽もしや
文よむ窓も 我が窓
瑠璃の床も うらやまじ
きよらなりや 秋の夜半
月はあるじ 虫はとも
おー 我が窓よ
楽しとも 楽もしや
３．Home Sweet Home
In the humble abode where I reside,
A place that may seem shabby, but in my heart, it's pride.
No envy for luxury, simplicity is my creed,
Under the tranquil spring sky, my soul takes heed.
Flowers stand as guardians, and birds, loyal friends,
In my home, happiness and contentment blends.
Oh, my dear dwelling, you enrich my heart,
A sanctuary of joy, where every moment is art.
Through the window, I gaze and read,
No envy for floors with lapis lazuli, indeed.
How pure the autumn night, a celestial delight,
The moon, my guardian, and bugs, friends in flight.
Oy, my window, a portal to dreams and insight,
You make me happy, and my heart takes flight.
In the simplicity of life, true riches I find,
A poetic haven, where the soul is entwined.
４．大きな古時計

４．My Grandfather’s Clock
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
One hundred years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was plumming for flight
That his hour for departure had come
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
５．夕焼けこやけ
夕焼けこやけで 日が暮れて
山のお寺の鐘がなる
おてて繋いで 皆かえろ
カラスと一緒に帰りましょう
子供が帰った あとからは
丸い大きな お月様
小鳥が夢を見る頃は
空にはキラキラ金の星
５．Sunset Song
The sky turned red as the sun set
The bells of the temple gong is echoing
Let us go home holding hands
The crows are also flying back to their nests
After children went home
The moon round and bright has come up
By the time the birds are dreaming
The stars are twinkling in the sky
６．めだかの学校
めだかの学校は川の中
そっと覗いてみてごらん そっと覗いてみてごらん
みんなでお遊戯しているよ
めだかの学校のめだかたち
誰が生徒か先生か 誰が生徒か先生か
みんなで元気に遊んでる
めだかの学校は嬉しそう
水に流れてつーいつい 水に流れてつーいつい
みんなでそろって つーいつい
６．School of Minnows
School of minnows is in the creek.
Peak them quietly, you find them dancing
School of minnows in the creek.
Who is the teacher, who is the student.
Everybody is having fun.
School of minnows look so happy
Swimming in the stream, swimming in the stream.
Everybody’s swimming along
７．赤とんぼ
夕焼けこやけの赤とんぼ
おわれていたのは いつのひか
山の畑の桑の実を 小かごにつんだはまぼろしか
15で姉やは嫁に行き お里の便りも絶えはてた
夕焼け小焼けの赤とんぼ とまっているよ さおの先
７．Red Dragonflies
Red dragonflies in the sunset
Remembering seeing them while I was carried on mom’s back
In mountain fields we used to gather mulberries and put them in a small basket
Was it real or was I imagining
At age fifteen my sister married away
Her letters stopped coming long ago
A red dragon fly in the sunset
I see it perched on the tip of a bamboo pole
８．いつも何度でも
呼んでいる 胸のどこか奥で
いつも心躍る 夢を見たい
悲しみは数えきれないけれど
その向こうできっとあなたに会える
繰り返す過ちのその度 人は
ただ青い空の 青さを知る
果てしなく道は続いて見えるけれど
この両手は 光をいだける
さよならの時の 静かな胸
ゼロになるからだが 耳を澄ませる
生きている不思議 死んでいく不思議
花も風も街も みんな同じ
呼んでいる 胸のどこか奥で
いつも何度でも 夢を描こう
悲しみの数を言いつくすより
同じ唇でそっと歌おう
閉じていく思い出の その中にいつも
忘れたくないささやきを聞く
粉々に砕けた鏡の上にも
新しい景色が映される
始まりの朝の 静かな窓
ゼロになるからだ 満たされてゆけ
海の彼方には もう探さない
輝くものは いつもここに
私の中に 見つけられたから
８．Always Dreaming (Song from “Sprited Away”)
Somewhere, a voice calls in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart
So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them, I'll find you
Every time we fall down to the ground
We look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness as for the first time
Though the road is long and lonely
And the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light
As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real
The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity
Somewhere, a voice calls in the depths of my heart
Keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part
Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painful woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you
The whispering voice
We never want to forget
In each passing memory
Always there to guide you
When a mirror has been broken
Shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life
Reflected all around
Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn
No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
I've found a brightness, it's always with me
９．ありがとうの花
ありがとうって言ったら みんなが笑ってる
その顔が嬉しくて 何度もありがとう
町中に咲いてる ありがとうの花
風に吹かれ飛んでいく
ありがとうの花が咲くよ 君の町にもホラいつか
ありがとうの花が咲くよ みんなが笑ってるよ
僕らの夢はみんなと 一緒に歌うこと
あったかい手を繋ぎ みんなで歌うこと
小さかった花の夢 おっきく膨らんで
みんなと一緒 ありがとう 歌い出す
ありがとうの花が咲くよ 君の町にもホラいつか
ありがとうの花が咲くよ みんなが歌ってるよ
９．The Flowers of Gratitude
When I say “thank you,” everyone is smiling
Their faces make me happy, so I say thank you again and again
In the town, the flowers of gratitude are blooming
Carried by the wind, they fly into tomorrow
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Look, someday in your town too
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Everyone is smiling
Our dream is to sing together with everyone
To hold warm hands and sing together
The dream of a small flower expands greatly
Together with everyone, we start singing, thank you
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Look, someday in your town too
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Everyone is singing
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Look, someday in your town too
The flowers of gratitude are blooming
Everyone is singing
Everyone is singing

１０．Racoon Drumming at Shojoji Temple
At Sho-jo-ji Temple
The garden is bright
On the moonlit night.
Let's come and together,
We are raccoon friends,
Pon poko pon no pon!
Keep up with
The Priest*,
Let's come
Come and beat
On the belly drum together.
At Sho-jo-ji Temple,
The bush clover** is in
Full bloom on the moonlit night.
How merry and playful!
Pon poko pon no pon!
１１．糸
なぜ巡り会うのかを 私たちはなにも知らない
いつ巡り会うのかを 私たちはいつも知らない
どこにいたの 生きてきたの
遠い空の下 ２つの物語
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
織りなす布はいつか誰かを
あたためうるかもしれない
なぜ生きて行くのかを 迷った日のあとのささくれ
夢追いかけ走って 転んだ日のあとのささくれ
こんな糸が何になるの 心もとなくて震えてた風の中
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
織りなす布はいつか誰かの
傷をかばうかもしれない
縦の糸はあなた 横の糸は私
会うべき糸に出会えることを 人は幸せと呼びます
１１．Weaving Threads
We don’t always know why we meet
We don’t always know when we meet
Where have you been?
How have you been?
Two separate stories unfolding under the vast sky
You are the vertical threads
And I am the horizontal threads
The fabric we weave together
May warm someone else someday
Why do I continue to live? Oh the pain of uncertainty
The pain of falling down after I chase my dreams
Is my thread worth anything? I felt so insecure shaking by the chilly wind
You are the vertical threads
And I am the horizontal threads
The fabric we weave together
May cover the wounds of someone else
You are the vertical threads
And I am the horizontal threads
When you meet the destined threads
People call it happiness
１２．美しく
美しく 美しく
めぐるまどかな大空に
人の命の憧れが 泉のように湧いてくる
美しく 美しく
香る地球の花園に
人の命の憧れが 百千の花と咲きほこる
美しく 美しく
和む宇宙の殿堂に
人の命の憧れが 光の虹をかけている
１２．Beautifully
Beautifully, beautifully,
revolving vast sky, the yearning of human life surges up like a spring.
Beautifully, beautifully, in the fragrant earthly garden,
Dreams of human life bloom and flourish like countless flowers.
Beautifully, beautifully, in the peaceful temple of the universe,
Dreams of human life cast a rainbow of light.
１３．涙そうそう
古いアルバムめくり ありがとうと呟いた
いつもいつも胸の中 励ましてくれる人よ
晴れわたる日も 雨の日も 浮かぶあの笑顔
思い出遠くあせても 面影探して
よみがえる日は 涙そうそう
一番星に祈る それが私の癖になり
夕暮れに見上げる空 心いっぱいあなた探す
悲しみにも 喜びにも おもうあの笑顔
あなたの場所から私が見えたら きっといつか
会えると信じ 生きてゆく
晴れわたる日も 雨の日も 浮かぶあの笑顔
思い出遠くあせても さみしくて 恋しくて
君への想い 涙そうそう
会いたくて 会いたくて
君への想い 涙そうそう
１３．Down Come My Tears
I whispered “thank you” as I leafed through my old photo album.
Always within my heart is a person who cheers me on.
That smile, come rain or shine, appears in my heart.
Even though the memories of us fade away; those days of youth, in search of your image,
My tears keeps flowing
Praying upon the first evening star has become my routine.
Looking up to the sky in the twilight I seek for where you are now.
That smile I would think of in tears and in joy.
If I'm to be seen from a place where you are, I'm going to live on, believing we can surely meet again.
That smile, come rain or shine, appear in my heart.
Even though the memories of us fade away; These feelings for you, in loneliness and with longings,
My tears keeps flowing
I want to meet you, want to see you, thinking of you keeps my tears flowing.
１４．花は咲く
真っ白な雪道に 春風かおる
私は懐かしいあのまちを思い出す
叶えたい夢もあった 変わりたい自分もいた
今はただ 懐かしいあの人を思い出す
誰かの歌がきこえる 誰かを励ましてる
誰かの笑顔が見える 悲しみの向こう側に
花は 花は 花は咲く いつか生まれる君に
花は 花は 花は咲く 私はなにを残しただろう
夜空の向こうの 朝の気配に
私は懐かしいあの日々を思い出す
傷ついて傷つけて 報われず泣いたりした
今はただ 愛おしいあの人を思い出す
誰かの思いが見える 誰かと結ばれてる
誰かの未来が見える 悲しみの向こう側に
花は 花は 花は咲く いつか生まれる君に
花は 花は 花は咲く 私はなにを残しただろう
花は 花は 花は咲く いつか生まれる君に
花は 花は 花は咲く いつか恋する君のために
１４．Flowers will Bloom
(2011 Earthquake and Tsunami recovery support song)
In the spring wind that blows softly
over the snow-covered road,
I remember my sweet old town.
I had some dreams that I wanted to fulfill. There was a part of me that wanted to change to be my best self.
Now I just miss my dear old friends.
I can still hear them singing.
They are singing to cheer up someone else.
I can still see them smiling.
Somewhere beyond the sorrow and pain.
Flower, flower, flowers bloom
For you, who will be born one day.
Flower, flower, flowers bloom
What have I left behind for you?
Feeling the morning light beyond the dark night, I remember those sweet old days.
I’ve been hurt, I've hurt someone, and I wept over my lost loves.
Now I just miss those people,
My dear old friends.
I can still see their dreams.
I can still feel them close to me.
I can still see their futures.
Somewhere beyond the sorrow and pain.
Flower, flower, flowers bloom
For you, who will be born one day
Flower, flower, flowers bloom
For you, who are going to love someone someday.
１５．風のとおり道 (となりのトトロ)
森の奥で生まれた風が 原っぱにひとり立つ楡の木
フワリかすめやってきた あれは風のとおり道
森の奥で生まれた風が 見えない手さし伸べて麦の穂
フワリかすめやってきた あれは風のとおり道
はるかな地 旅ゆく風 道しるべ
一人行くあなたに贈る 髪の飾り
森の奥で生まれた風が 原っぱにひとり立つ楡の木
フワリかすめ消えていく あれは風のとおり道
森の奥で生まれた風が 原っぱにひとり立つ楡の木
フワリかすめやってきた あれは風のとおり道
森の奥で生まれた風が 見えない手さし伸べて麦の穂
フワリかすめ あなたの髪を 揺らして通り過ぎてく
１５．Pathway of Wind (Song from “My Neighbor Totoro”)
From the depths of the woods where the wind born to the field
there stands a lone elm tree
Softly brushes your hair
Over there is the pathway of the wind
From the depths of the woods where the wind was born
Its invisible hand extends over the ears of barley
softly brushes your hair flutters as it passes by
The wind travels far and wide leaving markers for the paths
It sends a hair adornment as a gift to you whom traveling alone
From the depths of the woods where the wind born to the field
there stands a lone elm tree
Softly brushes your hair
Over there is the pathway of the wind
１６．にじ
庭のシャベルが一日濡れて
雨が上がってくしゃみをひとつ
雲が流れて 光が差して見上げてみれば ラララ
虹が虹が空にかかって 君の君の気分も晴れて
きっと明日はいい天気 きっと明日はいい天気
洗濯物が1日濡れて 風に吹かれてくしゃみをひとつ
雲が流れて 光が差して見上げてみれば ラララ
虹が虹が空にかかって 君の君の気分も晴れて
きっと明日はいい天気 きっと明日はいい天気
あのこの遠足1日伸びて
涙かわいて くしゃみをひとつ
雲が流れて光が差して見上げてみれば ラララ
虹が虹が空にかかって 君の君の気分も晴れて
きっと明日はいい天気 きっと明日はいい天気
１６．Rainbow
Her sandbox toys are wet from rain all day
Now it stopped and she sneezed once
Clouds are moving away and the sun is shining
Look up! The rainbow appeared in the sky
Which made her feel better
It’ll be a sunny day tomorrow for sure
Clothes are wet on the lines all day
Blowing in the wind and she sneezed once
Clouds are moving away and the sun is shining
Look up! THe rainbow appeared in the sky
Which made her feel better
It’ll be a sunny day tomorrow for sure
Her school trip got postponed one day
Her tears dried and sneezed once
Clouds are moving away and the sun is shining
Look up! THe rainbow appeared in the sky
Which made her feel better
It’ll be a sunny day tomorrow for sure
１７．コスモス
夏の草原に銀河は高く歌う
胸に手を当てて風を感じる
君のぬくもりは、
宇宙が燃えていた遠い時代の名残
君は宇宙 百億年もの歴史が今も身体に流れてる
光の声が空高く聞こえる
君も星だよ みんな、みんな
時の流れに生まれたものなら ひとり残らず幸せになれるはず
みんな命を燃やすんだ 星のように、ホタルのように
光の声が空高く聞こえる
僕らはひとつ みんな、みんな
光の声が空高く聞こえる
君も星だよ みんな、みんな
１７．Cosmos
The galaxy sings out to the summer grass field
I put my hand on my chest to feel the wind blowing
I saw the universe burning within your warmth
It was the feeling that the remote age brings
You are the universe
Experiences during ten billions of years are still flowing in our bodies
I can hear the voice of the light high up in the sky
You are also the star All of us, all of us
For we are born in the circle of the time, we all have a gift of happiness
We are living our lives like a bright star, like a firefly
I can hear the voice of the light high up in the sky
We all are one, all of us, all of us
I can hear the voice of the light high up in the sky
You are also the star All of us, all of us
