Paroles et traduction [Alexandros] - City

City

Light 光る
街にこうギラギラとした
他人 大人を教える

Words 泳ぐ
頭の中グルグルと
迷い 戸惑い 彷徨いながら

ここはどこですか
私は誰ですか

Night 澱む
ビルの谷間 モヤモヤと
霧 誰もを疑う

Crowd 騒ぐ
薄っぺらく笑い カラカラと
響く 空き缶 しばいた

君の涙疑って 言葉の中確かめた
何も見つからずに僕はまた言葉を戻した
僕は何を言いたくて
この街に居座ってんだろう
首から垂れ下がるIDが認証されずに

言葉が溺れて
心がそれを助けれずに
僕は何を言いたくて
この場所を選んだのだろう？
何も見つからずに また元のふりだしに戻った

Believe 誰にもハイハイと
頷いてはいけないのかな

It's time to know
私は誰誰であり 何を欲しているかを

ふと気付くと朝が泣き
いつの間にか夜が笑い
嫌がらせの様な空を ビルが真似し始めて

君も僕もそれに習い
誰よりも光ろうとし
完成を待たずして 僕等背伸びをするんだ

言葉がこぼれて
気持ちがそれに追いつけずに
君は何を言いたくて
この場所を選んだのだろう
意味の無い叫びでも良い
今すぐに吐き出して

言葉の中身を満たしたくて
意味のある心を見せたくて
嘘ばっか 嘘ばっか 歌って
偽って 偽って 笑った

It's time to give it up and realize that this is you
Nobody's gonna bring you up
Nobody's gonna back you up
I know it's hard and stiff, severe the wall in front of you
But I'm sure that there are things that you would like to accomplish before going to hell!

言葉が 流れて
身体から全部搾り出したら
僕は何を言いたいか
やっと理解し始めた
誰のためでもない自分の言葉を悟った

君は何を言いたくて
この街に居座ってんだろう
この歌も捨て 自らの言葉と身体で生きていけ

ここはどこですか
私は誰ですか

ここはどこですか
私は誰ですか

City

Light is shining
In the city, so dazzling,
Where strangers teach me about being an adult.

Words are flowing,
Swirling in my mind,
Lost, confused, and wandering.

Where am I,
Who am I?

Night is settling in,
In the valley of the buildings, hazy,
Mist making everyone suspicious.

Crowd is stirring,
Laughing shallowly, empty and hollow,
Echoing the crushed aluminum cans.

Doubting your tears, seeking truth in words,
Finding nothing, I turned the words back to you.
What do I want to say,
Why am I dwelling in this city?
My ID card, hanging from my neck, remains unrecognized.

Words are drowning,
My heart unable to save them.
What do I want to say,
Why did I choose this place?
Finding nothing, I'm back to square one.

Believe in no one's 'yes, yes,'
Must we always nod in agreement?

It's time to know,
Who I am and what I desire.

Before I knew it, morning was weeping,
And night was laughing somewhere.
The sky played a cruel joke, and the buildings copied it.

You and I, as well,
Wanting to outshine everyone else,
Reaching for completion, we stretch ourselves too thin.

Words are spilling,
My emotions unable to keep up.
What do you want to say,
Why did you choose this place?
Even a meaningless shout will do,
Pour it out now.

Wanting to fill the words with meaning,
Wanting to show a heart that matters,
I sang empty lies,
I laughed falsely.

It's time to give it up and realize that this is you,
Nobody's gonna bring you up,
Nobody's gonna back you up,
I know it's hard and stiff, severe the wall in front of you,
But I'm sure that there are things that you would like to accomplish before going to hell!

Words are flowing,
When I squeeze them out of my body,
I finally understand what I want to say,
My own words, not for anyone else.
You understand, don't you?

What do you want to say,
Why are you dwelling in this city?
Let go of this song, live with your own words and body.

Where am I,
Who am I?

Where am I,
Who am I?
