汽車
作詞不詳・大和田愛羅作曲/文部省唱歌(三年)
今は山中、今は浜(はま)、
今は鉄橋(てっきょう)渡るぞと、
思う間も無く、トンネルの
闇(やみ)を通って広野原(ひろのはら)。
遠くに見える村の屋根(やね)、
近くに見える町の軒(のき)。
森や林や田や畠(はたけ)、
後(あと)へ後へと飛んで行く。
回り燈篭(どうろう)の絵のように、
変わる景色(けしき)のおもしろさ。
見とれてそれと知らぬ間(ま)に、
早くも過ぎる幾十里(いくじゅうり)。
The Train
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)
Now on the mountainside, and now by the seashore
And then reaching to a railroad bridge
Without looking for the scenery
Passing through a tunnel and comes on a field
We can see village roofs over there
And we can see town streets near here
Forests, woods and rice fields
Everything leaving us behind
Like the picture of a revolving lantern
Wonderful scenery comes and goes
While we have been fascinating
The train goes several ten miles(2008.10.7)
