Paroles et traduction Chitose Hajime - 恐竜の描き方

恐竜の描き方

スケッチブックにそっと閉じ込めて
もう気のすむまで眺めていたよ
遠くかすかにけぶる木々の声や
言葉と波動の間に揺れる風とともに

思い付くままに 色を選んで
ぺんを走らせて

今夜 恐竜の絵を描いた

歩き出した巨大な影の背に乗って
私は何を踏み潰したのだろう
ケモノにも鳥にもなれなかったあなた
空を見上げ吼えてみせてよ

この大きな澄みきった目を この長い爪を
受け止めてくれる
国や街なんか何処にも無いけど
この舗道の途切れた所から行こう
どこまでも

歩き出した巨大な影を見上げて
私は今何の歌を歌おう
太古の森に倒れたあなたは
行く当ても無くビルに登る

歩き出した巨大な影の背に乗って
私は何を知りたいのだろう
ケモノにも鳥にもなれなかったあなた
空を見上げ吼えて見せてよ
空を見上げ吼えて見せてよ

スケッチブックを閉じた夜に

How to Draw a Dinosaur

I softly closed it in my sketchbook,
And watched it intently for as long as I wanted.
The distant, hazy voices of the trees,
And the wind swaying between words and waves.

Picking colors as they came to me,
Letting the pen dance.

Tonight, I drew a dinosaur.

Riding on the back of a massive, walking shadow,
What have I trampled underfoot?
You, who could become neither beast nor bird,
Look up at the sky and let out a roar.

This big, clear eye, this long claw,
Embrace me.
There's no country or city to be found,
But let's start from this point where the pavement ends,
Forever.

Looking up at the massive, walking shadow,
What song shall I sing now?
You fell in the primeval forest,
You climb up buildings with nowhere to go.

Riding on the back of a massive, walking shadow,
What do I want to know?
You, who could become neither beast nor bird,
Look up at the sky and let out a roar.
Look up at the sky and let out a roar.

On the night I closed my sketchbook,
