Lyrics and translation Aki Yashiro - 喝采

喝采

いつものように幕が開き
恋の歌うたうわたしに
届いた報らせは 黒いふちどりがありました
あれは三年前 止めるアナタ駅に残し
動き始めた汽車に ひとり飛び乗った
ひなびた町の昼下がり
教会のまえにたたずみ
喪服のわたしは 祈る言葉さえ 失くしてた
つたがからまる白い壁
細いかげ長く落として
ひとりのわたしは こぼす涙さえ忘れてた
暗い待合室 話すひともないわたしの
耳に私のうたが 通りすぎてゆく
いつものように幕が開く
降りそそぐライトのその中
それでもわたしは 今日も恋の歌 うたってる

Appreciation

The curtain opens as usual
As I sing a love song
The message I received was bordered in black
That was three years ago, when I left you at the station
When I jumped on the moving train by myself
In the afternoon of a quaint town
I stood in front of the church
Dressed in mourning clothes, I had lost the words to pray
Ivy covered the white walls
Casting long, thin shadows
I was alone, and I had even forgotten to shed tears
In the gloomy waiting room, there was no one to talk to
My song drifted past my ear
The curtain opens as usual
Amidst the cascading lights
Even so, I will still sing a love song today
