サラダの国から来た娘 (Sarada no kuni kara kita musume) – The girl from the salad kingdom


from “Iruka Live” “Shokubutsushi” ~Chiisana album~.

——

You’re so absent-minded that
You don’t even realize when the seasons change
For you, I gather mixed wools and knit a muffler
Into an autumn field for you

I’ve come to you as your bride
Shut my dreams and heart into a cage
The girl from the sa-sa-sa-salad salad kingdom

I want to quietly draw apart the curtains
Hanging by the window of your bedroom
Then, as you mumble… Morning
Becomes my favorite time

I’ve come to you as your bride
I’ve come from a faraway land, but you neglect me
The girl from the sa-sa-sa-salad salad kingdom

Even when night falls and the owl hoots
I won’t be afraid as I wait here
Until you come to open my heart
I hug my knees and sit alone

I’ve come to you as your bride
Shut my dreams and heart into a cage
The girl from the sa-sa-sa-salad salad kingdom

Nakamori Akina, in Folk Song ~ Utahime jojouka~ album,
and Ken Naoko, in Renairon album.

Your back as you put on make-up
Can’t help but seem so small
“I am probably still in love with you”
That thought surfaces in my mind

Rain outside the window, rain is falling
The end of our story
Fits this rainy day too well

There is always that one page in everyone’s story
That will stir up encouragement in their hearts
It should have been written on my bedroom door
This really sad story

Rain outside the window, just like on that day
When you stood on the other side of this door
Your shoulders wet

Rain outside the window, rain is falling
A single streak of rain
Runs down the frosted glass of your heart
