履物と傘の物語 | Hakimono to kasa no monogatari | A Story of Shoes and Umbrellas / The Story of Clogs and Umbrellas

ある田舎の駅の近く
2つの店が並んでました

履物屋さんと傘屋さんの
おばあちゃんは仲良しでした

それぞれの連れ合いに先立たれて
子どもたちも自立しました

おばあちゃんたちに残されたのは
客の少ないこの店だけ

それでも2人はしあわせでした
話し相手がそばにいたから

履物屋さんのおばあちゃんが
微笑みながら亡くなりました

傘屋さんのおばあちゃんも
後を追うように亡くなりました

それぞれの家族が片付けた時
店の奥を見て驚きました

履物屋さんの押し入れには
傘がいっぱいありました

傘屋さんの押し入れには
履物がいっぱいありました

お互いの店まで行ったり来たり
そう自分たちが客になってました

履物の数だけ 傘の数だけ
しあわせがそこにありました

しあわせがそこにありました

Near a certain train station in the country
Two shops stood side by side

They were a shoe shop and an umbrella shop
And the old ladies who worked there were friends

Both their husbands had passed before them
And their children had moved away

What was left to the old ladies
Were only their shops, scant of customers

Even so, the two of them were happy
Because someone to talk to was right next door

The old lady at the shoe store
Passed away with a smile on her face

And soon after, as if chasing her
The old lady at the umbrella store passed too

When each of their families were straightening up
Looking in the back of the shops, they were surprised

Filling the closet of the shoe shop lady
Were dozens of umbrellas

And filling the closet of the umbrella shop lady
Were dozens of pairs of shoes

Coming and going from each others' shop
Yes, they became customers themselves

In each and every pair of shoes, in each and every umbrella
There lay great happiness

There lay great happiness

Near the train station of a certain village
The stores are situated next to each other

The clogs store and the umbrella store's
Old lady owners were good friends

Their husbands had already passed on
Their child already grown up and independent

What's left for the old ladies
Were their stores with minimal customers

Even so, the two ladies were happy
Because they had someone to chat with so nearby

The old lady of the clogs store
Passed away with a smile on her face

The old lady of the umbrella store
Soon passed away too, as if following her

When their respective families were cleaning up the stores
What they saw at the back surprised them

The drawers of the clogs store
Were stuffed with umbrellas

The drawers of the umbrella store
Were stuffed with clogs

While visiting each other's stores
Yes, the two old ladies had become each other's customers

The number of clogs, the number of umbrellas
Were the signs of happiness

Were the signs of happiness
