Paroles et traduction Ai Kawashima - Tokyo

Tokyo

闇をくぐって走る車の中で1人
物憂げな瞳でまたゆらめくネオンを追い越してゆく
最後ぐらいきれいに濃いめの化粧させて
泣き顔は見せたくない うつむき加減の目黒通り
忘れたい 忘れたい 暁がおりる前に
誰よりもあなただけ愛おしく愛していた
なぜなの？教えて あの人はどうしてここ東京から去ってゆくの？
雨よもっとたたきつけて 忍び泣く街 Tokyo
さっきから黙っては窓辺を見ているばかり
ずるいでしょ 何か言って 静寂が私をあざ笑うの
抱きしめてくれたのに今はもう触れられない
この街で生きていくには強くならなきゃいけない
なぜなの？教えて 思い出はどうしてこんなに優しいの？
風よもっと飲み込んでよ 咽び泣く街 Tokyo
懐かしい笑顔さえ 「さよなら」にかき消された
なぜなの？教えて あの人はどうしてここ東京から去ってゆくの？
波よもっと打ち寄せてよ 心ごと流されたい
雨よ降ってどこまでも はぐれ泣く街 Tokyo

Tokyo

In the running car that pierces through the darkness, alone
With languid eyes chasing after the neon that shimmers yet again
Let me wear bright makeup for the last time
I don't want to show you my crying face along the Meguro street as I stare down
I want to forget, I want to forget it all before the crack of dawn
You were my most cherished love
Why love? Tell me, why are you leaving this place called Tokyo?
Rain, please fall harder against the streets of Tokyo that silently weeps
You've been silently gazing out the window since earlier
Isn't that cruel? Say something, this silence is only mocking me
You used to hold me close, but now I can't even touch you
To survive in this city, I need to be strong
Why love? Tell me, why are these memories so painful yet kind?
Wind, please embrace me, let the streets of Tokyo sob
Even your smile, which once brought me such joy, is now erased by this goodbye
Why love? Tell me, why are you leaving this place called Tokyo?
Waves, please crash upon the shore, wash my heart away
Rain, fall endlessly, let the weeping streets of Tokyo drown in your embrace
