Kawaii musume wo nokoshite itta
Anata wo shinonde naita hi mo aru
Narifuri kamawazu onna wo sutete
Tada hitasura ni haha to nari
Tsurai yamazaka taenagara
Ashita wo shinjite ikite kita
Chichioya yuzuri no yasashii memoto
Miru tabi kurou mo egao ni kaeru
Ieji ni isoida yuugurebashi de
Nakibeso kaite matte ita
Sonna waga ko mo mou nijuu sai
Ima mo natsukashi akane zora
Hanayome sugata no sono hi mo majika
Shiawase negatte tenjin mairi
Nagaiki shite ne to ureshii kotoba
Omowazu namida komiageru
Aruku futari no katasaki ni
Haru no hizashi ga atatakai

You died and left behind a lovely daughter
There are days I cried, remembering you
I abandoned womanhood, not caring about my appearance
Devoting myself to motherhood
I made it through the hard times
Always having faith in tomorrow
Her kind eyes look just like her father's
Whenever I look at them my troubles turn to smiles
My daughter is twelve now and the red sky of those days
When I hurried home across the bridge at sunset
To find her waiting for me crying
Now seem so nostalgic
Soon she'll be a bride
And I'll pray for her happiness
When I say those happy words, "Long life to you"
My eyes fill up with tears
The spring sun is warm
On our shoulders as we walk together
