The Greatest Japanese Song of All Time!

This is my first ever enka recommendation^^...a song by Hibari Misora,Kawa No Nagare No Youni( 川の流れのように), literally meaning "Like the Flow of the River"

This remarkable song was composed by Akira Mitake, with lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto...


I personally like this song^^..eventhough Im not really a fan of enka song..but I think this song is really worth listen to^^..Really nice song, nice vokal^^..the melody really nice^^

Lyric:
.
Shirazu shirazu aruite kita
hosoku nagai kono michi
furikaereba haruka tooku
furusato ga mieru
dekoboko michi ya magarikunetta michic
hizu sae nai sore mo mata jinsei
A~a kawa no nagare no you ni yuruyaka ni
ikutsu mo jidai wa sugitea
~a kawa no nagare no you ni tomedo naku
sora ga tasogare ni somaru dake
.
Ikiru koto wa tabi suru koto
owari no nai kono michi
ai suru hito soba ni tsurete
yume sagashinagara
ame ni furarete nukarunda michi demo
itsuka wa mata hareru hi ga kuru kara
A~a kawa no nagare no you niodayaka ni
kono mi o makasete itai
a~a kawa no nagare no you ni utsuriyuku
kisetsu yukidoke o machinagara
.
A~a kawa no nagare no you ni
kono mi o makasete itai
a~a kawa no nagare no you ni itsumademo
aoi seseragi o kikinagara

English Translation by Sekicho:
(*There are no personal pronouns in the song, so I've interpreted it as meaning "we." It could just as easily be referring to the singer or the listener. Be advised.)
.
We've walked it unconsciously
If we turn our heads, far in the distance
We can see our hometown
Bumpy roads and winding roads
And uncharted roads, c'est la vie
Ah, like the flow of the river, laid backSo many years pass by
Ah, like the flow of the river, endlessly
The sky is dyed with twilight
People we love come near us
Even on roads muddied by rain
Someday, again, another clear day will come
Ah, like the flow of the river, calmly
We want to lose ourselves
Ah, like the flow of the river
As we wait for the thaws of the coming seasons

Ah, like the flow of the river, calmly
We want to lose ourselves
Ah, like the flow of the river, forever
As we listen to the stream of blue
