Paroles et traduction Akina Nakamori - 面影

面影

いつかきた道 あの街角に
ひとり求める 想い出いずこ
ああ一度だけ 恋して燃えた
あああの時は もう帰らない
叶うはずない 虚しい祈り
さすらい歩く 悲しみの街
いつかの店の いつかの椅子で
ひとり眺める 想い出の街
ああ一度だけ 恋して燃えた
あああの時は もう帰らない
心に想い 面影たずねて
見はてぬ夢の 降りつもる街
別れ告げよう あの想い出に
別れ告げよう あの面影に
ああ一度だけ 恋して燃えた
あああの時は もう帰らない
告げた別れが 涙ににじむ
あすは何処か 旅立ちの街

Vestige

On the street corner of a familiar path I one day sought
Memories now lost, my mind distraught
Oh, once alone I loved and burned with passion's fire
Oh, those times are gone, never to transpire
Unfulfilled, hopes now reduced to a futile plea
I wander through the city, gripped by melancholy
In a shop, on a chair, where moments once unfurled
I sit alone, gazing at the city of a forgotten world
Oh, once alone I loved and burned with passion's fire
Oh, those times are gone, never to transpire
In my heart, I long for the image I seek
Dreams yet unfulfilled, like snow upon the bleak
I bid farewell to my memories of old
I bid farewell to the visage that I hold
Oh, once alone I loved and burned with passion's fire
Oh, those times are gone, never to transpire
The farewell I uttered stains my cheeks with tears
Tomorrow I depart, leaving behind these fears
