川の流れのように [Kawa no nagare no yō ni] [English translation]

Unwittingly I've walked

this long and narrow road

If I look back, far away in the distance

I can see my home town

Rough roads

Bending roads

With no map to guide my way

That's how life is

Oh, like a flowing river

Slowly

The years pass

Oh, like a flowing river

Endlessly

The sky is painted twilight

Living, travelling

This road has no end

Your loved ones walking beside you

While searching for your dreams

Rain falls

and the road gets muddy

But someday soon

the sun will shine again

Oh, like a flowing river

Calmly

I want to trust in myself

Oh, like a flowing river

Changing seasons

Waiting for the snow to thaw

Oh, like a flowing river

Calmly

I want to trust in myself

Oh, like a flowing river

Always listening

to the babbling blue brook
