[Translation] Prague no Onna - Hitomi Shimatani
Prague no Onna (Woman of Prague) - Hitomi Shimatani
*Meguru rekishi unmei no hito yo
Jidai wo koete mata deai mashou
Katsute koko wa ougon no miyako
Hikari kagayaku wakare sae
History repeats itself, oh my destined person,
let's cross time and meet once more
in the former golden capital where
even partings shine
Rakuyou ni kowai hodo
Makka ni somatta PURAHA
Setsuna hodo utsukushii... tatta ichibyou demo
Prague was dyed such a deep red
by the setting sun I was almost afraid
For an instant it was beautiful... though only for a second
**Sayonara wa atta toki ni shitteta
Kokoro dakede tsugeteta ai wo sotto tsubuyaita
...Satte yuku senaka ni
We knew we would have to say goodbye eventually when we met
I softly murmured my love in my heart
... to your departing back
***Tatta ichido furimuita anata
Kareru bashi wo watari kiru mae ni
Subete sutete kake yori takatta
...Dakedo, watashi wa te wo futta
You only looked back once
before you crossed the Charles Bridge
I wanted to abandon everything and run over to you
... But I waved goodbye instead
Machi ni mata osoi haru
Yatte kite shitta “Mujou”
Yuki wa toke kusabana wa sotto me fuku no ni
Spring came late to this city once again and
I finally understood the meaning of "impermanence"
The snow melts and a flower gently buds
Anata he no futte yama nai omoi
Watashi dake ga tsumorase, kogoe,
Tachidomatte iru
...Matteta no, anata wo
My feelings for you endlessly rain down
I only let them pile up and freeze
I stood still,
.... as I waited for you
Sadame sae mo
hikisake nai mono
“kokoro” dake wa soi togete yuku wa
Tsui no yume wa tourou no you ni
Nagashi, kaesou MORUDAU he
Even destiny is something
which can't be torn apart
Only "hearts" are married for life
A pair of dreams are set adrift like lanterns
and seem to return to the Moldau
**Repeat
***Repeat
*Repeat

Please tell me if I've gotten anything wrong as I'm still learning Japanese! :D
