Sato no aki
Shizukana shizukana sato no aki
Osedo ni kinomi no ochiru yo wa
Ah kaasan to tada futari
kuri no mi nite masu iroribata
Akarui akarui hoshi no sora
Naki naki yogamo no wataru yo wa
Ah tousan no ano egao
Kuri no mi tabete wa omoidasu
Sayonara sayonara yashi no shima
Ofune ni yurarete kaerareru
Ah tousan yo gobujide to
Konya mo kaasan to inorimasu

Autumn village
Quiet, quiet, Autumn village.
The night when plant fruits fall into the back door of the house
Oh-just two person with moms.
We are cooking boiled chestnuts. In the hearth.
Bright, bright, Starry sky.
The night when the wild duck flies while screaming,
Oh-I remember Dad’s smile
while eating boiled chestnuts.
Goodbye, goodbye, palm island.
Come home while being shaken by the ship.
Oh, dad, be safe,
I pray with my mom tonight.
*****************************
