Green leaves of summer

Composed by Dimitri Tiomkin
Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster.

A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer are calling me home
It was good to be young then in the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping as high as the sky.

刈り入れのとき、種まきのとき
夏の緑がぼくを故郷へ呼んでいる
懐かしき青春の日々、豊かな季節に
魚が空高く跳ねていた 

A time just for planting, a time just for plowing
A time to be courting a girl of your own
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife, at the moment of birth.

植えるべきとき、耕すべきとき
愛しき乙女を誘うとき
懐かしき青春の日々、土にまみれた日々、
出産の妻を支えていた日々

A time to be reaping, a time to be sowing
A time just for living, a place for to die.
T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home

収穫のとき、種まきのとき
生きるべきとき、死ぬべき土地
懐かしき青春の日々、土にまみれた日々
いま、夏の緑がぼくを故郷へ呼んでいる 

T'was so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,
Now the green leaves of Summer are calling me home.

懐かしき青春の日々、土にまみれた日々
いま、夏の緑がぼくを故郷へ呼んでいる 

Ooooooooooooooh, oooh oooh....
