Jpop Recommend #219 Fuyu no uta by Kiroro

冬のうた Fuyu no uta

Kiroro


Released in November 1998, this is the duo's 3rd single.  Since both of Kiroro members are from Okinawa, this duo and winter wouldn't seem to match.  However, when I listened to this song, I realized that this assumption was a complete mistake.  


The combination of beautiful voice and gentle piano melody makes this a perfect winger song.

こんな  遠い  街       にも
Konna tooi machi nimo
Even this faraway town
夢       を   与えて   くれる
yume wo ataete kureru
is given a dream
白い      粉      雪    が  降って
shiroi kona-yuki ga futte 
while white powder snow falls,
心          に 届くよ       winter song
kokoro ni todokuyo 
reaching to our heart, winter song


ふと 息  を    かける   だけ  で

futo iki wo kakeru dake de
Only with one breath
消えそう に  揺れる  灯り
kiesou   ni yureru akari
makes the light sway and almost gone out
空     に    輝く           星       達     より も   たくましく      生きてる
sora ni kagayaku hoshi-tachi yori mo takumashiku ikiteru
But it still remains stronger than shining stars in the sky

どんな に  離れて      いても

donna ni hanarete itemo
No matter how far we are
あなた が  側     に いて くれる
anata ga soba ni  ite kureru
you are still by my side
同じ     夜     でも   信じる    こと  で
onaji yoru demo shinjiru koto de
By believing so, the same night
優しい       風   が  吹いてる
yasashii kaze ga fuiteru
will have gentler wind


広い    空  に   向かって  両手     高く        広げ

To the vast sky I put both hands up in the air

The dream I almost forgot
心          の    中     に 描いた
kokoro no naka ni egaita
I drew it in my heart
あなた  の   声  が  聞きたくて   瞳       を   閉じて みる
anata no koe ga kikitakute hitomi wo tojite miru
I close my eyes just to listen to your voice


かすか  に  聞こえて くる  よ

kasuka ni kikoete kuru yo
Faintly I hear 
銀     世界   の オルゴール

music box in the world covered with snow
まつげ     に とまった     一   粒      の

Fallen on my eyelash
音符   が ひびいて いる
