雪椿 [Yuki tsubaki] [English translation]

Being tender and being good for nothing

Are together like front and back

Since I'm fascinated for those men

I tell them I'll do my best

I bend my back and return a smile

Echigo's flower, Echigo's flower

Is a snow camellia

The money and the good status I dreamed

When I was young are far away

But as if you make my troubles happier

You don't show your sleeping face to anyone

Like mom with lipstick in a snow valley

Echigo's love, Echigo's love

Is a snow camellia

If I'm patient even if it aches

Spring days will come surely

Throwing their lives, I was raised

By your way of talking and your tears

Leaving a smell in my child heart

Echigo's flower, Echigo's flower

Is a snow camellia
