Furusato

Furusato

Usagi oishi kano yama
Kobuna tsurishi kano kawa
Yume wa ima mo megurite
Wasure gatashi furusato

Ikani imasu chichi haha
Tsutsuganashiya tomogaki
Ame ni kaze ni tsuketemo
Omoi izuru furusato

Kokorozashi wo hatashite
Itsu no hinika kaeran
Yama wa aoki furusato
Mizu wa kiyoki furusato

Homeland

That mountain chasing the rabbit
That river that caught a small crucian
Dream is still around my heart
I can’t forget my homeland

Dad, mom, what are you doing?
Are my friends safe?
Whether it rains or the wind blows,
It reminds me of my homeland

If I fulfill my will,
I want to go homeland someday.
Mountain is full of green, homeland
Water is clean, homeland

“Furusato” is the most well-known and loved song in Japan.

Dreaming of success, leaving the countryside of his homeland,
singing about a young man who works hard in the city.

The melody and poetry are even said to shake the hearts of those who do not understand Japanese.

Because of poetry written in ancient languages,
it is a little different from modern Japanese.

For example, “oishi” does not mean delicious, but means you have followed.

it has been selected as one of “100 Best Japanese Songs”.

Words:TAKANO,Tatsuyuki
