手紙 (Tegami)

720P　のセッティングでご覧下さい。

Please enjoy Teresa's performance of her Japanese original song "手紙 (Tegami)", meaning "The Letter". 川口真 (Kawaguchi Makoto) composed, and あかのたちお (Akano Tachio) arranged the song. 阿久悠 (Aku Yuu) wrote the lyrics.

Teresa's corresponding Chinese song is "一封情書 A Love Letter".


The following are the Japanese lyrics, with my English translation of the lyrics.

By the time when you read this letter
I will be rocked on the night train
I will never return home
I have decided so
Yet, I feel uncertain in the drizzle now
How I wish the weather is fine
Welcome home. You must be tired (after a hard work).
You had a drink tonight again, didn't you?

Thank you for happiness, though it was a short period
I still consider that
I will be just sadder (when I am with you)
I thought so everyday

Midnight has come as usual
You will be soon back home
Welcome home. You must be tired.
But, I cannot see you at the door anymore

Midnight has come as usual
You will be soon back home
Welcome home. You must be tired.
But, I cannot see you at the door anymore


この手紙を あなたが 読む頃は
Kono tegami wo anata ga yomu koro wa

私は 夜汽車に ゆられています
Watashi wa yogisha ni yurareteimasu

もう ここへは 戻って来ないでしょう
Mou koko ewa modotte konai deshou

そうするつもりで 出て行くのです
Sou suru tsumoride dete yuku nodesu

小雨が降って 心が にぶります
Kosame ga futte kokoro ga niburimasu

晴れてくれたら どんなにいいでしょう
Harete kuretara donna ni iideshou

お帰りなさい お疲れでしょう
Okaerinasai otsukare deshou

また お酒を飲んでいますか
Mata osake wo nonde imasuka


短いけど 幸せ ありがとう
Mijikai kedo shiawase arigatou

私は今でも そう思います
Watashi wa imademo sou omoimasu

これ以上は 悲しくなるだけと
Kore ijou wa kanashiku narudake to

毎日毎日 考えました
Mainichi mainichi kangae mashita

いつものような 夜更けに なりました
Itsumono youna yofuke ni narimashita

やがて あなたが 戻ってくるでしょう
Yagate anata ga modotte kuru deshou

お帰りなさい お疲れでしょう
Okaerinasai otsukare deshou

もう 迎えは できないのです
Mou mukae wa dekinaino desu


いつものような 夜更けに なりました
Itsumono youna yofuke ni narimashita

やがて あなたが 戻って くるでしょう
Yagate anata ga modotte kuru deshou

お帰りなさい お疲れでしょう
Okaerinasai otsukare deshou

もう 迎えは できないのです
Mou mukae wa dekinaino desu

Dear Masami-san.

This is truly lovely song and beautiful video! What a wonderful pictures of Teresa, and lyrics are so touching. This "story" brings me a memories. Yes, that's life... It is amazing and "funny", that today I found two different songs which both has a same title: 手紙 (Letter). I mean this song of Teresa and another enka sung by Mori Masako. I like them both very much! ^_^ I wish you a good weekend to Japan.

I first fell in love with this song sang by her in chinese (Mandarin) and now in Japanese. Very beautifully sung and captivated by Teresa. Thanks Masami san.
