都会はいつも 行くひと来るひとの

港そのもの やすらぐ場所もない

傷ついて流されて 愛に生きられぬ

何処か私の やつれた旅路に

なぜだか似てる 恋模様

降り立つ駅は 何年ぶりでしょう

汐の匂いに 目頭熱くなる

海峡の街を行く 旅のその先に

ぬくもり運ぶ 春がありますか

見果てぬ夢の 恋模様

人生なんて 泣く時笑う時

時が過ぎれば 想い出に変わるの

ハマナスの赤い花 心の窓から

遠くに咲いて 明日が見えます

ひとりで描く 恋模様

Tokaiwa itsumo yuku hito kuru hitono
Minato sono mono yasuragu bashomo nai
Kidzu tsuite nagasarete aini ikirarenu
Dokoka watashino yatsureta tabijini
Nazedaka niteru koi moyō

Oritatsu ekiwa nan'nenburi deshō
Shiono nioini megashira atsukunaru
Kaikyōno matchiwo yuku tabino sono sakini
Nukumori hakobu haruga arimasuka
Mihatenu yumeno koi moyō

Jinseinante naku toki warau toki
Tokiga sugireba omoideni kawaruno
Hamanasuno akai hana kokorono madokara
Tōkuni saite ashitaga miemasu

Hitoride egaku koi moyō

The city is always filled with people coming and going

The port itself there's not a place to rest

We're hurt, then swept away, and can't live for love

To my tired journey, in some way

For some reason similar, love pattern

The station where I get off, how many years has it been

The scent of the tides makes my inner corner of the eye hot

Past the journey through the city with the strait

Is there a spring which carries the warmth

The endless dream's love pattern

In a life, there's times when we cry, there's times when we laugh

Once time passes, they change to memories

The rugosa rose's red flower, from my heart's window

Blooming far away, I can see tomorrow

I draw it alone, the love pattern

心が見えない

暖かいひとの心が…

星空またたく

摩天楼の街ほど

愛がただ欲しい

とても今欲しい

あの日の涙は 終りを知らない

あゝこの街で もう一度

めぐり逢えるまで

二度と寂しい風の 旅には出ない

どうぞあなたの 夢の隣りに…

笑顔を下さい

私にも似合う笑顔を…

華やぐ街ほど

そうよ影も濃いのよ

燃える暖炉の火

今も赫々と

あなたへ尽きない 私の残り火

あゝあなたしか 愛せない

道はつづくけど

二度と寂しい風の 旅には出ない

どうぞあなたの 夢の隣りに…

私はどこへも どこへも行かない

あゝこの街で もう一度

めぐり逢えるまで

二度と寂しい風の 旅には出ない

どうぞあなたの 夢の隣りに…

Kokoroga mienai
Atatakai hitono kokoroga...
Hoshizora matataku
Matenrōno machihodo
Aiga tada hoshī
Totemo ima hoshī
Ano hino namidawa owariwo shiranai
Ā kono machide mō ichido
Meguriaeru made
Nidoto sabishī kazeno tabiniwa denai
Dōzo anatano yumeno tonarini...

Egaowo kudasai
Watashinimo niau egaowo...
Hanayagu machi hodo
Sōyo kagemo koinoyo
Moeru danrono hi
Imamo akaakato
Anatae tsukinai watashino nokoribi
Ā anatashika aisenai
Michiwa tsudzukukedo
Nidoto sabishī kazeno tabiniwa denai
Dōzo anatano yumeno tonarini...

Watashiwa dokoemo dokoemo ikanai
Ā kono machide mō ichido
Meguriaeru made
Nidoto sabishī kazeno tabiniwa denai

Dōzo anatano yumeno tonarini...

I can't see the heart

A warm person's heart...

The night sky blinks

A city with more skyscrapers

Yearns for love

Wants it very much right now

The tears from that day don't know when to stop

Oh, once more in this city

Until we run into each other

I will never go on a lonely windy journey

Please, let me stay next to your dreams...

Give me your smile

A smile that also fits me...

A city more brilliant

Yes, has darker shadows

The fire burning in the fireplace

Even now, brightly (red)

To you, my embers which will not go out

Oh, I can love only you

Though the streets continue

I will never go on a lonely windy journey

Please, let me stay next to your dreams...

I will not go anywhere else, anywhere else

Oh, once more in this city

Until we run into each other

I will never go on a lonely windy journey

Please, let me stay next to your dreams...

Maekawa Kiyoshi(前川清)

Maekawa Kiyoshi(前川清)'s father worked on the American naval base in Sasebo as a shipwright. He loved baseball when he was young and he played the game along with other fellow children of the men who worked at the naval base. The jazz songs played on the American naval base had a huge influence on him, and he studied jazz in junior high and high school. Eventually, he dreamed of becoming a musician.

He left high school during his junior year and eventually ended up being scouted by the movie director Kobayashi Masaki(小林正樹) while singing in a cabaret in Nagasaki. He became the lead vocalist in the popular kayōkyoku group Hiroshi Uchiyamada and Cool Five (内山田洋とクール・ファイブ Uchiyamada Hiroshi to Kūru Faibu).

The group sang in the Kōhaku Utagassen(紅白歌合戦) 15 times, 11 times as official participants on the white team and 4 times as a guest. After the group's popularity declined, several members of the group retired while new members joined. During this period, Maekawa Kiyoshi appeared on Kōhaku Utagassen(紅白歌合戦) as a solo singer (18 times).
