帰省 Lyrics – 中島みゆき

遠い国の客には笑われるけれど
押し合わなけりゃ街は　電車にも乗れない
まるで人のすべてが敵というように
肩を張り肘を張り　押しのけ合ってゆく

けれど年に2回　8月と1月
人ははにかんで道を譲る　故郷(ふるさと)からの帰り
束の間　人を信じたら
もう半年がんばれる

機械たちを相手に言葉は要らない
決まりきった身ぶりで街は流れてゆく
人は多くなるほど　物に見えてくる
ころんだ人をよけて　交差点(スクランブル)を渡る

※けれど年に2回　8月と1月
人は振り向いて足をとめる　故郷からの帰り
束の間　人を信じたら
もう半年がんばれる※

(※くり返し)

帰省 Lyrics Romanized

Tōi kuni no kyaku ni wa warawa rerukeredo
oshi awanakerya machi wa densha ni mo norenai
marude hito no subete ga teki to iu yō ni
kata o hari hiji o hari oshinoke atte yuku

keredo toshi ni 2-kai 8 tsuki to 1 tsuki
hito wa hanikande michi o yuzuru furusato (furusato) kara no kaeri
tsukanoma hito o shinjitara
mō hantoshi ganbareru

kikai-tachi o aite ni kotoba wa iranai
kimari kitta miburi de machi wa nagarete yuku
hito wa ōku naru hodo mono ni miete kuru
koronda hito o yo kete kōsaten (sukuranburu) o wataru

※ keredo toshi ni 2-kai 8 tsuki to 1 tsuki
hito wa furimuite ashi o tomeru furusato kara no kaeri
tsukanoma hito o shinjitara
mō hantoshi ganbareru※

帰省 Lyrics English

I can be laughed at by customers from distant countries
If you don’t push each other, you can’t take the train
As if all of the people were enemies
Stretch your shoulders and elbows and push them away

But twice a year, August and January
People return to their homes by returning home from their hometown
For a moment, if you believe in people
I will do my best for another half a year

No words needed for machines
The city flows with a determined gesture
The more people there, the more they look like things
Cross the intersection (scramble) to avoid people who fell

*But twice a year, August and January
People turn around and stop their feet Return from home
For a moment, if you believe in people
Work hard for another half year*

(* Repeat)
