ハアー 生まれ関東 武蔵の国は

いまじゃ呼び名も 彩の国

玩具(おもちゃ)がわりに 握ったマイク

音に聞こえた 歌好きが

由紀乃太鼓に 乗せまして

唄で口上 エー つとめます

ハアー 彩の名物 数々あるが

秩父音頭に さくら草

歌の道でも 名のある花に

なってみせます いつの日か

由紀乃太鼓に 願いかけ

叩く女の エー 心意気

ハアー 晴れの舞台を 踏むその日まで

固く封印 色恋は

おんな命の このひと節が

お気に召すやら 召さぬやら

由紀乃太鼓を 合いの手に

声を限りに エー つとめます

Haa the Kanto Region where I was born, also known as the province of Musashi

Nowadays this region is called the province of Sai (Saitama)

The microphone I grabbed instead of a toy

The one whom everyone knows loved to sing

Getting into the rhythm of the Yukino Drums

I'll sing ee my introduction

Haa the province of Sai has numerous famous regional products

Chichibu Ondo and Sakurasō

In the path of the singers, a famous flower

I will become one, one of these days

Making a wish to the beat of the Yukino drums

The spirit of the woman ee who beats that drum

Haa until the day when I am in the spotlight

I stand firm and avoid love affairs

A woman's life's single fushi is

Do you like it or do you not

With the Yukio drums as my partner

I will sing ee as loud as I can

女心の 陽だまりに

情けしみます あなたがしみる

まぶた閉じれば 面影ゆれて

寒い背中が みえてくる

きっと咲きます 燃えて咲きます この命

風の便りを 追いかけて

涙こらえて 夜汽車は走る

恋の傷跡 凍える町で

生きる望みを くれた人

きっと咲きます 燃えて咲きます この命

女心の さみしさが

溶けてゆきます 抱かれて溶ける

目にはみえない 幸せだけど

春を探して 花になる

きっと咲きます 燃えて咲きます この命

Record Label: King Record Co., Ltd

To the woman's heart's spot in the sun

The sympathy hurts, you make me feel hurt

If I close my eyes, your visage wavers

And I can see the cold shoulders

I will bloom, burn and bloom, this life

Chasing after the rumors about you

Holding the tears back, the train rushes along

The scars from this love, at the freezing town

The man who gave me hopes to live my life

I will bloom, burn and bloom, this life

A woman's loneliness

Starts to thaw, when you hold me it starts to thaw

Though this happiness can't be seen with eyes

I will find spring and bloom into a flower

I will bloom, burn and bloom, this life

風が行くなと　すすり泣く

波のしぶきが　引き止める

海が荒れたら　もう一夜

明日の船まで　いられるの・・・

別れ間近の　港の宿で

切なさつのる　海峡岬

春は暦に　来るけれど

女ひとりに　春もない

せめてあなたの　幸せを

祈るこの胸　抱きしめて・・・

沖の向こうに　漁火揺れて

未練をあおる　海峡岬

今年最後の　雪が舞う

まるで二人の　恋模様

めぐり逢うのが　遅すぎた

無理に自分に　言い聞かす・・・

北のはずれに　名もない花が

情けを散らす　海峡岬

Kazega yukunato susurinaku

Namino shibukiga hikitomeru

Umiga aretara mō hitoyo

Asuno funemade irareruno...

Wakare majikano minatono yadode

Setsnasa tsunoru kaikyō misaki

Haruwa koyomini kurukeredo

Onna hitorini harumonai

Semete anatano shiawasewo

Inoru kono mune dakishimete...

Okino mukōni isaribi yurete

Mirenwo aoru kaikyō misaki

Kotoshi saigono yukiga mau

Marude futarino koimoyō

Meguriaunoga ososugita

Murini jibun'ni i'ikikasu...

Kitano hazureni namonai hanaga

Nasakewo chirasu kaikyō misaki

Record Label: King Record Co., Ltd

The wind sobs and tells me not to go

The splashing waves hold me back

If the sea is rough, one more night

Can you wait until tomorrow's ship...

Right before parting, at the harbor inn

The sorrow grows, strait cape

Even though spring comes to the calendar

Spring doesn't come to a single woman

At least your happiness

I pray, holding my heart...

On the other side of the offing, the isaribi* wavers

Inflame the regret, strait cape

This year's last snow flutters

Just like the shape of our love

We met too late

I fight to tell myself...

Up north away from everything, a nameless flower

Sprinkles compassion, strait cape

*isaribi is a fire used to lure fish.
