Kaasan no uta
Kaasan ga yonabe wo shite tebukuro ande kureta
“Kogarashi fuicha tsumetaka route sesseto andadayo”
Furusato no tayori wa todoku, irori no nioi ga shita
Kaasan wa asaito tsumugu, ichinichi tsumugu
“Otou wa doma de warauchi shigoto, omae mo ganbare yo”
Furusato no fuyu wa samishii, semete radio kikasetai
Kaasan no akagire itai, namamiso wo surikomu
“Neyuki mo tokerya mousugu haru dade, hatake ga matteruyo”
Ogawa no seseragi ga kikoeru, natsukashisa ga shimitooru

Song for mom
My mom knitted gloves until late at night.
“I knit hard because the cold wind would be hard”
A letter from my hometown arrived. I smelled the stove.
My mom spins hemp yarn. Spin all day long.
“Dad is a sword-making job. Do your best too.”
My hometown is lonely. I want to hear it on the radio at least.
Mom’s painful hand hurts, so she uses raw miso as a medicine.
“It will soon be spring if the root snow melts, so the fields are waiting for us.”
It feels nostalgic because you can hear the stream of creek.
**************************************
