Paroles et traduction Aki Yashiro - カラス

カラス

恋し恋しと羽を噛み
夜明けの晩に啼くカラス
わたしゃ素肌に赤襦袢(あかじゅばん)
ふとんをかぶって枕抱く

逃げるあんたは夢ん中
両手を延ばしてまぼろし掴む
ここじゃ男は盆暮れに
御神酒飲みほし女を替える

つらい想いに身を焼いて
あんたの空を飛ぶカラス
冷えた背中を丸めても
過ぎたぬくもり戻りゃせぬ

今夜あんたは誰の家
憎さがあまれば欲しさに変わる
あの日むつんでされっきり
女所帯にゃ酔う酒もない

逃げるあんたは夢ん中
両手を延ばしてまぼろし掴む
ここじゃ男は盆暮れに
御神酒飲みほし女を替える

A Crow

Biting my feathers with longing
A crow cries out in the pre-dawn night
I wear a red kimono over my bare skin
And cuddle my pillow under the sheets

You, my elusive lover, are in my dreams
I stretch out my arms and grasp at an illusion
Here, men get drunk on sake
During the Obon and New Year festivals and discard their women

I burn with anguish
A crow that flies above your sky
Even as I curl up my cold back
The warmth that has passed will never return

Whose house do you visit tonight?
Hatred turns into desire when it becomes unbearable
That day, we were love-struck
But now, widowed, I have no sake to drink

You, my elusive lover, are in my dreams
I stretch out my arms and grasp at an illusion
Here, men get drunk on sake
During the Obon and New Year festivals and discard their women
