北物語
加門亮 Lyrics

愛の切符を捨ててしまって
After discarding the ticket of love,

女ひとりが迷います
A woman is lost,

やさしさに負けそうな 頼りなさ
Her unreliable nature is close to succumbing to kindness,

両の手に 荷物では
With baggage in both hands,

重過ぎる 重過ぎる
That is too heavy, too heavy,

どうして 北へ来たのでしょう
Why did she come to the north,

心が冷えて
Her heart becoming cold,

泣きながら
Crying as she does so,

風が運ぶ 遠い汽笛に
Carried by the wind, to the sound of a distant whistle,

はるか昔を 想います
She thinks of a long time ago,

しあわせにつつまれて いた頃を
The time she was wrapped in happiness,

こんな夜 ひとりでは
On a night like this, alone,

凍えそう 凍えそう
She feels like she's freezing, freezing,

どうして北へ来たのでしょう
Why did she come to the north,

日ぐれが早く
Days getting shorter,

つらいのに
Even though it's tough,

窓が鏡に すぐに変わって
The window changes into a mirror quickly,

寒い泣き顔 うつします
Reflecting her cold, crying face,

巡礼をするようにたずねても
Even if she asks like a pilgrim,

あのひとに 二度ともう
She can never see that person again,

逢えないわ 逢えないわ
She can't meet them anymore, anymore,

どうして北へ来たのでしょう
Why did she come to the north,

やさしいひとが
A kind person,

声かける
That speaks to her,
