花
作詞:武島羽衣 作曲:滝廉太郎
春のうららの 隅田川
のぼりくだりの 船人が
櫂のしずくも 花と散る
ながめを何に たとうべき
見ずやあけぼの 露浴びて
われにもの言う 桜木を
見ずや夕ぐれ 手をのべて
われさしまねく 青柳を
錦織りなす 長堤に
暮るればのぼる おぼろ月
げに一刻も 千金の
ながめを何に たとうべき
Near the River in the Spring
English Words by Greg Irwin
Near the river in the Spring
Beautiful is the sight
Golden ripples glistening
In the April light
Have you seen the color green
That only Spring can bring?
Have you heard a hummingbird
When it starts to sing?
Near the river in the Spring
Beautiful is the dawn
Cherry trees are blossoming
Lovers on the lawn
Have you seen the willow tree
Whose branches hang so low?
Rustling in the shadows there
Of love's afterglow
Near the river in the Spring
Beautiful is the night
Stars are lighting up the sky
A crescent moon shines bright
Nature sings and gently brings
This glorious rebirth
Near the river in the Spring
Heaven here on Earth
