Lyrics and translation 井上陽水 - ワカンナイ ((Remastered 2018))

ワカンナイ ((Remastered 2018))

雨にも風にも負けないでね
暑さや寒さに勝ちつづけて
一日 すこしのパンとミルクだけで
カヤブキ屋根まで届く
電波を受けながら暮らせるかい?
南に貧しい子供が居る
東に病気の大人が泣く
今すぐそこまで行って夢を与え
未来の事ならなにも
心配するなと言えそうかい?
君の言葉は誰にもワカンナイ
君の静かな願いもワカンナイ
望むかたちが決まればつまんない
君の時代が今ではワカンナイのよ
La la la...
日照りの都会を哀れんでも
流れる涙でうるおしても
誰にもほめられもせず 苦にもされず
まわりの人からいつも
デクノボウと呼ばれても笑えるかい?
君の言葉は誰にもワカンナイ
慎み深い願いもワカンナイ ワカンナイ
明日の答えがわかればつまんない
君の時代のことまでワカンナイ
君の言葉は誰にもワカンナイ
君の静かな願いもワカンナイ
望むかたちが決まればつまんない
君の時代が今ではワカンナイ
La la la...

Unknown ((Remastered 2018))

My dear, do not succumb to the gales nor the rain
Nor the relentless chill or unrelenting strain
Through sun or storm, endure with little bread and milk
And brave the thatched roof's stark and distant ilk
Can you live, my love, immersed in waves of sound?
In the south, a child endures in bitter plight
In the east, an adult weeps through endless night
Go now, and offer succor to their dreams
Dismiss their future's bleak and dismal gleams
Can you truly, darling, offer solace in those scenes?
Your gentle voice is lost in silent void
Your heartfelt plea remains forever unenjoyed
When desires take shape, they lose their vibrant hue
Your era, my dear, is lost beyond our view
La la la...
Though you lament the city's endless drought
Your tears bring no relief, they offer no devout
Unnoticed, unappreciated, you toil and strive
Your efforts scorned, as "blockhead" they deride
Can you endure, my love, the mockery they provide?
Your gentle voice is lost in silent void
Your heartfelt plea remains forever unenjoyed, unenjoyed
When answers beckon, they extinguish life's bright flame
Your era, my dear, is lost beyond our frame
Your gentle voice is lost in silent void
Your heartfelt plea remains forever unenjoyed
When desires take shape, they lose their vibrant hue
Your era, my dear, is lost beyond our view
La la la...
