フェリーと同じ 速さに合わせ
白いカモメが ついて来る
あなた忘れる 旅なのに
未練どこまで ついて来る
佐渡の島影 かすかに見えて
越佐海峡 ひとりきり

越後の山を 振り向くたびに
胸に消えない 名残り雪
夢にはぐれた おんなです
いのち捧げた おんなです
おけさ流れる デッキに立てば
越佐海峡 つむじ風

私にだけは やさしいあなた
何故か世間は 悪く言う
それで良かった 人なのに
それが良かった 人なのに
船の舳先(へさき)も ふたりを裂()いて
越佐海峡 別れ旅

Ferīto onaji hayasani awase
Shiroi kamomega tsuitekuru
Anata wasureru tabinanoni
Miren dokomade tsuitekuru
Sadono shimakage kasukani miete
Essakaikyō hitorikiri

Echigono yamawo furimuku tabini
Muneni kienai nagoriyuki
Yumeni hagureta on'nadesu
Inochi sasageta on'nadesu
Okesa nagareru dekkini tateba
Essakaikyō tsumujikaze

Watashinidakewa yasashī anata
Nazeka sekenwa waruku iu
Sorede yokatta hitonanoni
Sorega yokatta hitonanoni
Funeno hesakimo futariwo saite

Flying at the same speed as the ferry
The white seagull follows me around
Even though I went on this journey to forget you
How far will regret follow me around
The silhouette of Sado vaguely appears before my eyes
At Essa Strait all alone

The mountain of Echigo, every time I look back
There are traces of snow which won't fade from my chest
I am a woman who lost her way from her dream
I am a woman who devoted her life
Standing on the ship's deck where I could hear the traditional vocal music
At Essa Strait whirlwind

You were kind only to me
For some reason, the society says bad things about you
You were just fine that way
That was what was good about you
Even the bow of the ship tears the two of us apart
At Essa Strait journey to say goodbye

Hama Hiroya(浜博也)

Tango of Reminiscence(追憶のタンゴ Tsuiokuno Tango) by Iriyama Akiko(入山アキ子)

季節(とき)は流れて あなたも消えて
心もからだも 痩せてゆきます
風の便りを 追いながら
逢いに来ました この町で
誰に思いを 話せばいいの
恋しい貴方は あなたは何処に

今日も空似の あなたの影に
涙があふれて もう歩けない
暗い夜空に 星もなく
遠く灯りも 消えてゆく
女ひとりの 淋しい胸に
恋しい貴方は あなたはいない

固い契りも 誓った夢も
ひと夜の恋だと 笑うのですか
馬鹿な女と 云われても
忘れられない 人だから
うらむことなど 出来ない私
恋しい貴方は あなたは何処に

Tokiwa nagarete anatamo kiete
Kokoromo karadamo yasete yukimasu
Kazeno tayoriwo oinagara
Aini kimashita kono machide
Dareni omoiwo hanaseba īno
Koishi'i anatawa anatawa dokoni

Kyōmo soranino anatano kageni
Namidaga afurete mō arukenai
Kurai yozorani hoshimo naku
Tōku akarimo kieteyuku
On'na hitorino samishi'i muneni
Koishi'i anatawa anatawa inai

Katai chigirimo chikatta yumemo
Hitoyono koidato waraunodesuka
Bakana on'nato iwaretemo
Wasurerarenai hitodakara
Uramu kotonado dekinai watashi

Koishi'i anatawa anatawa dokoni

The seasons flow and you fade away
My heart and body wither away
Chasing after rumors about you
I came to meet you in this town
Who should I tell my thoughts to
My beloved, beloved, where are you

Even today, seeing a shadow just like you
I am filled with tears and can't walk any more
There are no stars in the dark night sky
The distant light also fades away
In the sorrowful chest of a woman alone
My beloved, beloved, you are not there

The strongest vows, the dreams we promised
Are you going to laugh that it was a single night's love
Even if I am called a foolish woman
Because you are someone I can't forget
I can't bring myself to hate you
My beloved, beloved, where are you
