Gondola no Uta (ゴンドラの唄, "The Gondola Song") is a 1915 Romantic Ballad that was popular in Taishō period Japan.
Lyrics were written by ISAMU YOSHII, melody by SHINPEI NAKAYAMA.
The lyrics of the song are presented as the advice of an experienced
individual to younger souls regarding the fleeting nature of youth and
the caution against missing the opportunities of youth when they are
available and before they have passed with growing age.
This song was used as a theme song in Akira Kurosawa's 1952 film Ikiru (To Live).
The terminally ill protagonist, played by TAKASHI SHIMURA, initially sings this romantic ballad as an expression of loss, and at the end with great contentment.His final performance of the song has been described as "iconic."
The hero of the film, a quiet, methodical bureaucrat, had discovered he has stomach cancer. He finds himself in a jazzy nightclub, quite drunk, and sits near the piano and sings an old song about love and death.
Ikiru(To Live)song.(Gondola no Uta) English translate
life is brief.
fall in love, maidens
before the crimson bloom
fades from your lips
before the tides of passion
cool within you,
for there is no such thing
as tomorrow, after all
life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before his hands
take up his boat
before the flush of
his cheeks fades
for there is not a person
who comes hither
life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before the boat drifts away
on the waves
before the hand resting on your shoulder
becomes frail
for there is no reach here
for the sight of others
life is brief
fall in love, maidens
before the raven tresses
begin to fade
before the flame in your hearts
flicker and die
for today, once passed,
is never to come again
