矢切の渡し
石本美由起作詞・船村徹作曲

「つれて逃げてよ……」
「ついておいでよ……」
夕ぐれの雨が降る　矢切の渡し
親のこころに　そむいてまでも
恋に生きたい　二人です

「見すてないでね……」
「捨てはしないよ……」
北風が泣いて吹く　矢切の渡し
噂(うわさ)かなしい　柴又すてて
舟にまかせる　さだめです

「どこへ行くのよ……」
「知らぬ土地だよ……」
揺れながら艪(ろ)が咽(むせ)ぶ 矢切の渡し
息を殺して　身を寄せながら
明日(あす)へ漕(こ)ぎだす　別れです

The Ferry of Elopement
[駆落ち船] (By Sadao Mazuka)

Please let me go with you!
Follow me on the escape journey!
We are going to take a ferry
Going to the opposite province
We'll brave our parents’ displeasure
We'll get the heavenly happiness while fulfilling our love

Please don't forsake me!
I'll never desert you!
Blowing the heavy cold wind
on the river of Edo-gawa
Can we arrive on the opposite shore?
Anyway, we have no regret for the old town in Edo

Where can we go to live?
The soil that you never know!
The oar groans like screams
We hope no boat comes in pursuit
So nervous and fear to the world there
But we'll have a better tomorrow with our sincere love(2011.9.30)
