Sarah Brightman - Kaze no torimichi

Kanji version of lyrics Mori no oku de umareta kaze ga
Harappa ni hitori tatsu nire no ki
Fuwari kasume yatte kita
Are wa kaze no toori michi

Mori no oku de umareta kaze ga       [1]
Mienai te sashinobete migi no ho
Fuwari kasume anata no kami o
Yurashite toorisugiteku

Harukana chi tabiyuku kaze michi shirube       [2]
Hitori yuku anata ni okuru kami no kazari

Mori no oku de umareta kaze ga
Harappa ni hitori tatsu nire no ki
Fuwari kasume kiete iku
Are wa kaze no toori michi

Pathway of Wind

From the depths of the woods where the wind originates
To the field where alone stands an elm tree
Floating, softly embracing, it has come
Over there is the pathway of the wind

From the depths of the woods where the wind originates       [1]
Its invisible hand extends over the ears of barley
Floating, softly embracing, your hair
flutters as it passes by

Faraway land travelling wind waypost       [2]
Going alone I give you a hair ornament

From the depths of the woods where the wind originates
To the field where alone stands an elm tree
Floating, sofly embracing, it is going
Over there is the pathway of wind

repeat [2]
repeat [1]

 
The song is taken from Miyazaki's cartoon "My neighbor Totoro"; see e.g. this page at IMDb.
