SUDACHINO UTA

The Song of Sudachi

SUDACHINO UTA

The colors of flowers, shadows of clouds
はなのいろ くものかげ
Hana no iro kumo no kage
Bring back memories from long ago
なつかしい あのおもいで
Natsukashii ano omoide
Left behind at the window of days gone by
すぎし日の まどにのこして
Sugishi hi no mado ni nokoshite
Today we part ways, like a sudachi fruit
すだちゆく きょうのわかれ
Sudachi yuku kyō no wakare

So long now, farewell teacher
いざさらば さらばせんせい
Iza saraba saraba sensei
So long now, farewell friends
いざさらば さらばともよ
Iza saraba saraba tomo yo

For the beautiful days that lie ahead
うつくしい あすのひのため
Utsukushii asu no hi no tame

On windy days and rainy days
かぜのひも あめのひも
Kaze no hi mo ame no hi mo
With all my heart, I’ve learned so much
はげみきし まなびのには
Hagemi kishi manabi no ni wa
Holding your teachings close to my heart
かのおしえ むねにいだきて
Kano oshie mune ni idakite
Today we part ways, like a sudachi fruit
すだちゆく きょうのわかれ
Sudachi yuku kyō no wakare

So long now, farewell teacher
いざさらば さらばせんせい
Iza saraba saraba sensei
So long now, farewell friends
いざさらば さらばともよ
Iza saraba saraba tomo yo

For the shining days that lie ahead
かがやかしい あすのひのため
Kagayakashii asu no hi no tame
