山よ！山よ　お岩木山よ

あの娘のかわりに　聞いてくれ

男の山には　道などないが

歩いたところが　道になる

まっくろ日焼けの　顔だけど

心は雪より　白いのさ

山よ！山よ　お岩木山よ

世間のかわりに　聞いてくれ

男の俺には　柄でもないが

うす紅すがたが　いじらしい

みちのく小桜　摘む指を

きれいに洗おか　谷清水

山よ！山よ　お岩木山よ

おふくろがわりに　聞いてくれ

男の義理とか　人情などに

そっぽを向いてた　俺だけど

人生峠の　苦労坂

越えたらおやじに　似てきたよ

Oh mountain! oh mountain oh Mount Iwaki

Instead of that young lady, please listen to me

Though there aren't roads to a man's mountain

The path a man walked turns into a road

Though my face is dark and sunburned

My heart is whiter than the snow

Oh mountain! oh mountain oh Mount Iwaki

Instead of the society, please listen to me

Though it may be out of character for a man like me

When you wear light lipsticks you look sweet

The fingers which pluck small cherry blossoms of Mutsu Province, 

Will wash it clean with the valley's clean water

Oh mountain! oh mountain oh Mount Iwaki

Instead of my mom, please listen to me

Things like a man's sense of duties and kindness

I had turned the other way but

The life's slope of struggles

When I had gone over it, I became just like my dad

夢で逢いたい　抱かれたい

それを未練と　云うのでしょうか

濡れてむらさき　あやめの花を

見ればなおさら　あなたが欲しい

雨よ...雨...雨...降らないで

あの日の想い出　消さないで

いのち尽くして　結ばれた

とけて解（ほど）けぬ　さだめの糸よ

風にむらさき　あやめの花に

添えぬうらみの　ため息ひとつ

雨よ...雨...雨...降らないで

ひとりじゃ寒くて　眠れない

忘れられない　ふたり傘

あなたあれから　幸せですか

咲いてむらさき　あやめの花は

しのび泣きする　おんなの心情（こころ）

雨よ...雨...雨...降らないで

今夜は逢えそな　気がするの

I want to meet you and be held in my dreams

Is that what you call regret

The purple iris which became wet

Seeing it makes me want you even more

Oh rain...rain...rain...don't fall

Don't erase the memories from that day

I tried with all my might and we were united

The strings of fate which won't melt and loosen

To winds the purple iris flower

One cursing sigh because I can't adorn myself with it

Oh rain...rain...rain...don't fall

Alone, I am cold and unable to sleep

I can't forget, both of us under the umbrella

Since then, have you found happiness

The blooming purple iris flower is

Secretly crying woman's heart

Oh rain...rain...rain...don't fall

I feel like I can see you tonight

Miyama Hiroshi(三山ひろし)

The stage name Miyama Hiroshi(三山ひろし) comes from Miyama(three mountains) because the prefecture he grew up in, Kōchi Prefecture(高知県), is surrounded by three mountains, and from his teacher Nakamura Tenshō(中村典正)'s alternate name Yamaguchi Hiroshi(山口ひろし).

When he was 23 years old, he moved to Tokyo hoping to become a singer.

He worked as a waiter at Matsumae Hiroko(松前ひろ子)'s restaurant. Matsumae Hiroko(松前ひろ子) is an enka singer and Kitajima Saburō(北島三郎)'s cousin.

In 2007, he was the runner-up in the Nippon Crown's 45th Anniversary Memorial Newcomers' Audition(クラウン創立45周年記念新人オーディション Kuraun Sōritsu 45 Shūnen Kinen Shinjin Ōdishon).

In 2009, he made his debut with "Hitokoi(Yearning to Meet Someone) Tavern(人恋酒場 Hitokoi Sakaba)." In September 2010, Hitokoi Tavern had sold over 100,000 copies, and he was awarded the gold record for achieving this sales milestone.
