ふるさとはどこですか (Furusato wa Doko desuka)

Please enjoy Teresa's performance of a Japanese original song, "ふるさとはどこですか (Furusato wa Doko desuka)", meaning "Where is your hometown?". 中山大三郎 (Nakayama Daisaburo) composed, and 竜崎孝路 (Ryuuzaki Kouji) arranged the song. うすいよしのり (Usui Yoshinori) wrote the lyrics.

Teresa's corresponding Chinese song is "小村之戀 Love Of Small Hometown".

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

ふるさとはどこですかと　あなたはきいた
Furusato wa dokodesuka to anata wa kiita
("Where is your hometown?", you asked me)

この町の生まれですと　私は答えた
Konomachi no umaredesu to watashi wa kotaeta
("I was born in this town", I replied)

ああ、そしてあなたが いつの日か
Aa, soshite anata ga itsunohika
(Ah, I dreamed about some day)

あなたのふるさとへ つれて行ってくれる日を　夢みたの
Anata no furusato e Tsureteitte kureruhi wo yume mita no
(when you will take me to your hometown)

生まれたてのこの愛の　ゆくえを祈ったの
Umaretate no konoai no yukue wo inotta no
(I made a wish for the future of this new love)


ふるさとはどこですかと　私はきいた
Furusato wa dokodesuka to watashi wa kiita
("Where is your hometown?", I asked you)

南の海の町と　あなたは答えた
Minami no umi no machi to anata wa kotaeta
("I was born at a seaside town in the south", you replied)

ああ、そして幼い日のことを
Aa, soshite osanaihi no koto wo
(Ah, I talked about what my childhood was like)

瞳を かがやかせ
Hitomi wo kagayakase
(with shining eyes)

歌うように夢のように　話したわ
Utauyouni yumenoyouni hanashitawa
(as if I was singing and dreaming)

二人して行かないか と
Futarishite ikanaika to
("Shall we go to my hometown together?")

私には 聞こえたの
watashini wa kikoetano
(To me, your words sounded like this)

ああ だけど 今では思い出ね
Aa, dakedo imadewa omoide ne
(Ah, however, this is just my past memory now, isn't it?)

あなたは ふるさとへ ただひとり, ただひとり帰るのね
Anata wa furusato e tadahitori tadahitori kaerunone
(You are returning home just alone, aren't you?)

ふるさとは そんなにも あたたかいものなのね
Furusato wa sonnnanimo atatakaimono nanone
(Your hometown is so warm, isn't it?)

Dear Mr. Masami,

I a fan of Teresa Teng from Vietnam. I've started to listen to Teresa's for about 1 year. I especially love Japanese songs she sang. They are so emotional and sentimental. I used to listen and admire the melody of Teresa's. However, for these days, thanks to your translation, I can understand well and know how touching the lyrics are.

Thank you very much for your warm help.

Although I am just a 23-year-old, I hope that I could be a friend of Masami.

@ventures333 おやおや？　昔からですか？　もし現在の表示年齢が正しければ、随分オマセさんでしたね。

[yokkohamada1]

中山大三郎さんは、素晴らしい曲を書いていましたね。

[masami43]

そうですね。　そして、歌詞もピッタリ、合っていますね。　とても良い歌です。

Dear Masami, I would like to ask you whether you have any documents about Teresa Teng and the time she lived in Japan. I always want to find more and more info. of my favorite singer. I've read her biography on the internet but it seems to be unclear about Teresa's life.

I hope that my suggestion will not bother you.

Thank you very much.
