Paroles et traduction Aki Yashiro - 女ごころ

女ごころ

なんで私を 女になんか
生んでくれたの お母さん
男ごころを 知りたさに
嘘やお世辞も 嘘やお世辞も 身につけた
瞼 閉じれば 見えてた人が
瞼開ければ 何故消える
逢えば別れが 来ることを
誰が決めたの 誰が決めたの 守ったの
訳があるなら 教えてほしい
訳がないなら 戻ってと
胸のあたりで 合わす手に
宿る倖せ 宿る倖せ 何故薄い
川を流れる 木の葉でさえも
指を差し出す 人はいる
知らぬ誰かに 身をまかせ
眠りたくなる 眠りたくなる 夜もある

A Woman's Heart

Why did you create me
as a woman, Mother?
In order to understand the heart of a man,
I've learned to tell lies and flatteries.
When I close my eyes, I can see the person,
But when I open them, why do they disappear?
Who decided that every meeting
must end in parting? Who set that rule?
If there's a reason, tell me.
If there's no reason, come back to me.
The hands that I hold to my chest
contain happiness, but why is it so fleeting?
Even a leaf floating down a river
finds someone to reach out to.
I surrender myself to a stranger,
and there are nights when I long to fall asleep.
