Lyrics and translation 石川さゆり - 転がる石

転がる石

十五は 胸を患って
咳きこむたびに 血を吐いた
十六 父の夢こわし
軟派の道を こころざす
十七 本を読むばかり
愛することも 臆病で
十八 家出の夢をみて
こっそり手紙 書きつづけ
ああ ああ
ああ ああ...
※転がる石は どこへ行く
転がる石は 坂まかせ
どうせ転げて 行くのなら
親の知らない 遠い場所※
怒りを持てば 胸破れ
昂(たかぶ)りさえも 鎮めつつ
はしゃいで生きる 青春は
俺にはないと 思ってた
迷わぬけれど このままじゃ
苔にまみれた 石になる
石なら石で 思いきり
転げてみると 考えた
ああ ああ
ああ ああ...
(※2回くり返し)

Rolling Stone

At fifteen, my chest was sick
Every time I coughed, I coughed up blood
At sixteen, I broke my father's dream
And set my sights on the path of a playboy
At seventeen, I only read books
I was too timid to love
At eighteen, I dreamed of running away from home
And I secretly wrote letters to myself
Oh, oh
Oh, oh...
※Where will the rolling stone go?
The rolling stone is at the mercy of the slope
If I'm going to roll anyway
Then to a distant place my parents don't know※
If I get angry, my chest will break
Even my excitement is subdued
I thought that my frivolous youth
Was not for me
I have no doubts, but if I stay this way
I'll become a stone covered in moss
If I'm a stone, then I'll be a stone
And I'll roll as much as I want
Oh, oh
Oh, oh...
