To live is to make a journey, always on the move, with a lovable companion close by, searching for the dream world. Even though I'm now forced to walk down a muddy road in the rain I believe I'll be blessed with glorious weather again one of these days. Ah, like the stream of the river, peacefully, I'd like to resign myself to Heaven; Ah, like the stream of the river, the time of the year is also moving, now on the tiptoe of expectation, toward the snow-thawing season.
ああ 川の流れのように Ah, like the stream of the river, おだやかに この身をまかせていたい peacefully, I'd like to resign myself to Heaven; ああ 川の流れのように Ah, like the stream of the river, いつまでも as long as I live, 青いせせらぎを 聞きながら I'd like to feel the murmuring of the blue stream.
