Lyric translation: Fukuko (from her final letter to Fujii): - If we were here, it would be a worry for the future, and you wouldn't be able to do your best. We will go before you and wait. Fujii (sitting beside the bodies of his wife and daughters on the banks of the river): - I might shed tears today. Please excuse me for today. Please understand. Fujii (in a letter to his oldest daughter after her death): - The day when the wind blows away in cold December, your life disappeared as dew on Arakawa River's bank. - It is painfully sad that, together with your mother, you sacrificed yourself ahead of your father, because of his fervent desire to lay down his life for his country. However, I hope that you, who as a young girl vanished together with your mother, will be gladly smiling. - Father will soon be able to follow you. - Do not worry, I will hold you close to me as you sleep Until then, please wait without crying. - If Chieko cries, please protect her well. Goodbye for a short while. - Father will perform a great achievement on the battlefield, and bring it back as a souvenir. Ichiko-chan and Chieko-chan, please wait for me until then. Fukuko: 私たちがいたのでは後顧の憂いになり、存分の活躍ができないことでしょう。お先に行って待っています Fujii: 俺は、今日は涙を流すかも知れない。今日だけは勘弁してくれ。わかってくれ 冷え十二月の風の吹き飛ぶ日 荒川の河原の露と消し命。 母とともに殉国の血に燃ゆる父の意志に添って、一足先に父に殉じた哀れにも悲しい、然も笑っている如く喜んで、母とともに消え去った命がいとほしい。 父も近くお前たちの後を追って行けることだろう。 嫌がらずに今度は父の暖かい懐で、だっこしてねんねしようね。 それまで泣かずに待っていてください。 千恵子ちゃんが泣いたら、よくお守りしなさい。ではしばらく左様なら。 父ちゃんは戦地で立派な手柄を立ててお土産にして参ります。 一子ちゃんも、千恵子ちゃんも、それまで待ってて頂戴
