Amoureux séparés

Language: French (Français) after the English

Our translations: JPN

Dans le royaume de Yen
  un jeune galant réside,
Dans le royaume de Chao
  une belle demoiselle habite.
A vrai dire, ces royaumes
  ne sont pas très distants,
Mais une chaîne de monts à pic
  les sépare bel et bien.
"Vous, nuages, sur vos fortes poitrines,
  emportez-moi
Vents, soyez mes chevaux
  et galopez!"

[...
...
...
...]
Les nuages du ciel
  n'écoutent pas la voix,
La brise changeante
  s'élève et retombe,
Je reste dans l'amertume
  de mes pensées
Songeant à la bien-aimée
  que je n'atteindrai pas.

はなればなれの恋人たち

Language: Japanese (日本語) after the French (Français)

燕 (イェン)の王国には
　　一人の若き色男が、
趙 (チャオ)の王国には
　　一人の美女が住んでいてな
本当言うと燕と趙は
　　それほど離れているわけじゃないんだが
雲をつくような高い山脈が
　　二国の間にでーんと立ちはだかっていやがる
「おーい、雲よ、お前らの立派な胸に乗せて
　　オレを運んでくれよ
風よ、オレの馬になって
　　駆けてくれよ!」

[...
...
...
...]
空の雲には
　　声は届かず
風は気まぐれに
　　吹いたりやんだり
オレは一人
　　苦い思いをしているのさ
そばに行けない
　　あの子のことを考えながら
