赤とんぼ - Akatombo (Red-Dragonflies) - ハーモニカ

RED DRAGONFLIES is famous nursery rhymes from Japan. When we hear the melody, it makes us sentimental and reminisce about chilhood days. After playing all day in a summer, each child is going home one by one being called by their mothers. Left alone, I,too reluctantly heading home alone　as I am looking at beautiful red-sunset-sky in the west. I found the English lyric of the song translated by YAMAGUCHI, Katsuei shown below:

----- RED DRAGONFLIES -----------------------------------------------------
Red dragonflies at sunset, red in the afterglow
Could it be the last time I saw their flight I was a child
On my Nanny's back?

Dark purple mulberries in the hillside fields
I gathered them into my little basket
Was that a dream or real?

Just fifteen, dear Nanny traveled far away, became a bride
Since then not one word comes
From my sister dear

Red dragonfly at sunset, red in the afterglow
There on the bamboo fishing pole it rests
As I remember

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-
I used Suzuki SCX-48. Thank you for listening.

子供時代を思い起こす「赤とんぼ」です。友達たちと一日中、走り回った夏の日。夕飯の時間、お母さんに呼ばれて一人ずつ子供たちが帰った後、一人取り残された自分も仕方な­く家に帰り始める時に見た真っ赤な夕焼け。ハーモニカはスズキＳＣＸ－４８を使っています。聴いてくださってありがとう。
