佐井好子 「耳のない仔猫」
sai yoshiko - mimi no nai koneko
(a kitten without ears)
『蝶のすむ部屋』
from the album CHOU NO SUMU HEYA
---------------------------------------------
a kitten without ears leaped out from hiding
cherishes the south wind on a hot tin roof
"I'll be on a trip to the southern island by myself"
first thing in the morning a wrecked ship in the port
any seaman will be sure to bring
a dreamworld to the girl's vacant heart
mom said, lamenting
"hey! you have no ear!
go wherever you want to go!"
I won't be back till spring
it is completely vain to be an adult
it is completely vain to be a lady
"I'll be wild and free in the southern island"
beautiful! one of my favourite songs from her, and so kind of you to post the translation. it helped me figure out the lyrics in japanese and i'm going to sing a cover. :) thank you!
