ルート53 - 稲葉浩志 Übersetzung ins Englische

ルート53

南北に走る車のタイミング見て
一斉に駆け抜ける 渡っちまえばそこには
高架下 秘密を持ち寄った小さな宇宙
コンクリート 冷たい暗渠 か細い線路 砂の山
この世のノイズがまじり響く
胸騒ぎ止まらぬ夏の昼下がり

誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ
心が透き通ってゆくような
ひんやり深い森に
抱きしめられる
そんな気分になれるという
それは今もそこに

ある日家族がなんだか慌てていた
おじいちゃんがはねられ足が折れちゃったんだって
近所の病院の固そうなベッドの上で
はやく家に帰らせろって 看護婦に怒鳴りちらしてる
わかるよわかる 横断歩道ないけど
大好きな畑までの近道だもの

誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ
思わず笑ってしまうような
漫画のヒーローを
本気で目指してる
いつかの自分になれるという
それは今もそこに

そのうち一人二人と町から流れ出してゆき
僕もあの道をたどり 何かを追いかけていった

喧騒に揉まれ 成長しただなんて
みっともない勘違いに気づいたよね

誰にでも居場所はあるもんだ
何も言わず叱られてるような
ずる賢い心嗤うような
それでいて待っててくれるような
流れる川に
何度も飛び込む
いつかの自分になれるという
それは今もそこに

そこにある

Route 53

Watching for a break in the north-south traffic flow,
We'd make a dash across. On the other side, you'd find
Under the overpass, our little universe, where we shared our secrets,
Concrete, a cold culvert, slender tracks, piles of sand.
The noise of the world mingling and echoing,
A restless summer afternoon, my heart pounding.

Everyone has a place they belong,
Where their heart feels transparent, pure,
In a cool, deep forest,
Held close and safe.
A place where you can feel that way,
It's still there, even now.

One day, my family was in a panic,
Grandpa got hit by a car and broke his leg.
In a stiff hospital bed, he lay,
Yelling at the nurses, demanding to go home.
I understand, I get it. There's no crosswalk,
But it's the shortcut to his beloved field.

Everyone has a place they belong,
A place that makes you laugh out loud,
Like a comic book hero,
Someone you truly aspired to be.
A place where you can become that someone you once dreamed of,
It's still there, even now.

One by one, people drifted away from town,
I too followed that same path, chasing something.

Battered by the hustle and bustle, I thought I'd grown up,
What an embarrassing misconception that turned out to be.

Everyone has a place they belong,
A place where you feel scolded without a word,
Where your cunning heart gets mocked,
Yet still waits for you.
Into the flowing river,
I dive in again and again.
A place where you can become that someone you once dreamed of,
It's still there, even now.

It's still there.
