Jpop Recommend #463 Futou wo wataru kaze by Yuming

埠頭を渡る風 Futou wo wataru kaze 

松任谷 由実 Yumi Matsutoya

Released in October 1978, this song is her 12th single.  This song isn't exactly one of the hit songs she recorded in her long career, but I think this is the best song for a night drive with the windows wide open when the wind gets cooler in the autumn.

aoi  tobari ga michi no hate ni tsuzuiteru
Blue curtain of the night awaits at the end of the road
悲しい      夜    は  私        を  となり に 乗せて
kanashii yoru wa watashi wo tonari ni nosete
On a sad night, take me next to you
街       の  灯り  は   遠く   なびく  ほうき  星
machi no akari wa tooku nabiku houki-boshi
the city light is like a comet lingering in the distance
何     も  いわず  に 私         の そば に いて

Say nothing but just stay by my side

I saw the wind across the wharf
いつか 二人   が  ただ の  友達         だった 日 ね

when we were just friends
今   の あなた  は  ひとり 傷つき

Now you are hurt all alone
忘れた       景色     探し     に ここ へ 来た の
wasureta keshiki sagashi ni koko e kita no 
and came here to find the forgotten view
もう  それ  以上 もう  それ  以上

Not any more No more  
やさしく    なんて しなくて  いい の よ

you don't need to be nice to me
いつ でも   強がる        姿     うそ に  なる
itsu demo tsuyogaru sugata uso ni naru 
You always act strong, but it becomes a lie


セメント 積んだ 倉庫    の  かげ で
cement tsunda souko no kage de 
Under the shadow of a warehouse with piled cement stocks
ひざ  を かかえる あなた は   急に   幼い
hiza wo kakaeru anata wa kyuni osanai
suddenly you looked like a child sitting on his knees
だから   短い   キス  を  あげる よ

So I'll give you a light kiss

Just like I do on a lost photo

Not any more No more

you don't need to be nice to me
いつ でも   強がる        姿      好き  だから
itsu demo tsuyogaru sugata suki dakara
I like when you pretend to be strong



白い   と息  が   闇   の   中   へ  消えて ゆく
shiroi toiki ga yami no naka e kiete  yuku
white breath disappears into the darkness
凍える     夜    は    私       を   となり に 乗せて
kogoeru yoru wa watashi wo tonari ni nosete
on a freezing night, take me next to you
ゆるい カーヴ で あなた へ たおれて みたら
yurui   curve de anata e taorete   mitara
on a slow curve, I'll try to lean on you
何     も きかず  に   横顔      で  笑って
nani mo kikazu ni yokogao de waratte
Don't ask anything but show me your smile from the side


青い とばり が  道     の  果て に  続いてる
aoi  tobari ga michi no hate ni tsuzuiteru
Blue curtain of the night awaits at the end of the road
悲しい      夜    は  私        を  となり に 乗せて
