Jonkara of Homesickness Tsugaru is a snow spirit when it flies down Are you all right? Haven't you changed? I miss my hometown where I played Hana ichi monme Ah Old men play a Jonkara Bushi The crying shamisens Are heard cutting the wind When I get drunk of sake in teacups My hometown comes to my mind And lonely tears fall I want to meet, I want to meet Tsugaru is in my dreams I turned off the lights and I yelled To the sky of Tokyo Stars flow, my heart is cold Exposing nineteen springs to the blizzard I rode on the night train I miss the old night sky It aches me, it aches me That girl is in my dreams I apologize with tears for disrespecting my parents I can't return without a souvenir I miss my hometown where I played Hana ichi monme Ah Kodomari harbor, Iwaki Mount When flowers bloom Boats row in dreams and seagulls make an uproar Bearing the pain is only a good thing Writing a letter How many years have passed since then? I wonder if I'll return, I want to return My hometown is in my dreams I wonder if I'll return, I want to return My hometown is in my dreams
