聞いて下さい私の人生 [Kiite kudasai watashi no jinsei] [English translation]

Please listen to my life

I was born in the farthest ends of the north country

My childish heart was in the dark

I lived with the lights off

Without being disheartened by that past

Seven hills of troubles is the journey of a song

Today too I endure the tears

I sing devotedly my woman feelings

Even if my voice withers and breaks

My determination goes devotedly on the enka road

I entrusted to enka my lovely sixteen years

Night suburbs, flowing songs

I was carried along by mom to make a living

While I was crossing over mountains and rivers of problems

The songs hold up my heart

The ocean noise, the salty wind, lullabies

While I bet my hopes for tomorrow

Keiko's figure sings

Even if my voice withers and breaks

My determination goes devotedly on the enka road
