Satono Suzume - Echigo Koi Uta Lyrics (Romaji)

Romanized Lyrics

Nyoubou ni suru nara yo... Echigo onna da yo
Doka yuki futtemo yowane wa hakanu
Dakedo anta nee anta saredo onna desu
Horeteru otoko no ude no naka
Hieta karada wo nukume te hoshii

Osake wo nomaserya yo... Otoko masari da yo
Echigo no Sanzan inochi no mizu yo
Demo ne anta nee anta saredo onna desu
Toki ni wa shippori yoitai no
Kata ni motarete amaete itai

Oborozukiyo wa yo... kuchi nya dasanu ga yo
Kono mune hotette nemure ya shinai
Dakara anta nee anta saredo onna desu
Oyama de koishii nami no oto...
Komoriuta de yo nadamete hoshii

English Lyrics

If you're going to take a wife... an Echigo woman's the one
She won't breathe a word of complaint, not even in the deepest snows
But my love... hey, my love... at heart, I'm still a woman
In the arms of the man I've fallen for
I need you to warm this chilled body of mine

When it comes to drinking sake... she's better than any man
The Three Peaks of Echigo, it's the very water of life!
But you know, my love... hey, my love... at heart, I'm still a woman
Sometimes, I just want to get tipsy, soft and slow
To lean upon your shoulder and let you dote on me

On a hazy, moonlit night... I'd never say it out loud...
But this heart of mine burns so hot, I can't find any sleep
And so, my love... hey, my love... at heart, I'm still a woman
From the mountains, I long for the sound of the waves...
I need you to soothe me to sleep with a lullaby

Japanese Lyrics

女房にするならヨ… 越後女だよ
どか雪降っても 弱音は吐かぬ
だけどあんた ねえあんた されどおんなです
惚れてる男の 腕の中
冷えた身体を 温めて欲しい

お酒を飲ませりゃヨ… 男勝りだよ
越後の三山 命の水よ
でもねあんた ねえあんた されどおんなです
時にはしっぽり 酔いたいの
肩にもたれて 甘えていたい

おぼろ月夜はヨ… 口にゃ出さぬがよ
この胸火照(ほて)って 眠れやしない
だからあんた ねえあんた されどおんなです
お山で 恋しい 波の音…
子守唄でよ なだめて欲しい
