Hito koe naite wa tabi kara tabi e Kuro umiyama no hototogisu Kyou wa awaji ka ashita wa sado ka Tooi miyako no koishisa ni Nurasu tamoto no hazukashisa Ii sa namida wo daita wataridori Onna to umareta yorokobi sae mo Shiranu takoku no higure michi Mama yo ukiyo no kaze mama kimama Tsubasa nurashite tonde yuku Otome gokoro no hitori tabi Ii sa namida wo daita wataridori Misete wa naranai kokoro no kizu wo Kakusu egao ni tsuki mo teru Kuchi nya dasumai mukashi no koto wa Mizu ni nagashite harebare to Aogu yozora mo hisashiburi Ii sa namida wo daita wataridori

From journey to journey with a single cry The cuckoo crosses the dark seas and mountains Today it might be Awaji, tomorrow it might be Sado The yearning for the distant city The embarrassment of wetting my sleeve It's all right, the bird of passage bears my tears The twilight road of a foreign country Which knows not the joy of being a woman It's all the same, the willful wind of this transient world Flying on wet wings My girlish thoughts travel alone It's all right, the bird of passage bears my tears The moon shines down on the smile That hides the scars in my heart which no one must see We mustn't speak of the past Just cheerfully wash it away It's been a long time since I've looked up at the night sky like this It's all right, the bird of passage bears my tears
