Текст песни Песни Vосточных Славян - Сакура

SAKURA / Japanese folk song /

Sakura blossomed beautifully
As it has not bloomed for a long time.
To the warm stream of Kurosivo
A geisha came out in a kimono.

I went out, started hokku
About your beloved Japanese land,
About the one I loved
Who is called proudly - a samurai.

Oh you are the song, the song is narrow
Sail across the Pacific
Samurai from the island of Shikoku
Pass the declarations of love.

Let the rumble of the familiar tsunami
He will remember, as if by chance
Geisha with origami on tatami
And he will exclaim joyfully: "Banzai!"

Let the hara-kiri pass him by
Let the sake flow into your mouth frequently.
Let him live in harmony and peace
All Japanese working people!
