北国の春
作曲：遠藤実　作詞：いで はく

kitaguni 白樺（しらかば）　青空　南風
こぶし咲くあの丘　北国の
ああ　北国の春
季節が都会ではわからないだろうと
届いたおふくろの小さな包み
あの故郷（ふるさと）へ帰ろかな　帰ろかな

雪どけ　せせらぎ　丸木橋
落葉松（からまつ）の芽がふく　北国の
ああ　北国の春
好きだとおたがいに言いだせないまま
別れてもう五年あの娘（こ）はどうしてる
あの故郷へ帰ろかな　帰ろかな

山吹（やまぶき）　朝霧　水車小屋
わらべ唄聞こえる　北国の
ああ　北国の春
兄貴も親父（おやじ）似で無口なふたりが
たまには酒でも飲んでるだろか
あの故郷へ帰ろかな　帰ろかな

Spring of North Region
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

kitaguni Blue Sky, south wind, and white birch trees
Kobus blowing on the northern hill
Oh, spring of North Region
“You wouldn't notice the season in the big city there!”
I received a small parcel from my mother
Now shall I return, shall I return to my native home?

Melting snow, clean brook, and small log bridges
Sprouting on the northern larch
Oh, spring of North Region
We couldn't say "I love you" each other
Five years after the separation, what she's going on
Now shall I return, shall I return to my native home?

Kerria flowers, morning mist, and old watermill
We can hear the nursery songs
Oh, spring of North Region
Both my father and brother are rather quiet
Are they drinking the local sake sometimes?
Now shall I return, shall I return to my native home?(2009.12.28)
