Paroles et traduction Daisuke - まほろば

まほろば

春日山から飛火野辺り
ゆらゆらと影ばかり泥む夕暮れ
馬酔木の森の馬酔木に
たずねたずねた 帰り道

遠い明日しか見えない僕と
足元のぬかるみを気に病む君と
結ぶ手と手の虚ろさに
黙り黙った 別れ道

川の流れは よどむことなく
うたかたの時 押し流してゆく
昨日は昨日 明日は明日
再び戻る今日は無い

例えば君は待つと
黒髪に霜のふる迄
待てると云ったがそれは
まるで宛て名のない手紙

寝ぐらを捜して鳴く鹿の
後を追う黒い鳥鐘の声ひとつ
馬酔の枝に引き結ぶ
行方知れずの懸想文

二人を支える蜘蛛の糸
ゆらゆらと耐えかねてたわむ白糸
君を捨てるか僕が消えるか
いっそ二人で落ちようか

時の流れは まどうことなく
うたかたの夢 押し流してゆく
昨日は昨日 明日は明日
再び戻る今日は無い

例えば此処で死ねると
叫んだ君の言葉は
必ず嘘ではない
けれど必ず本当でもない

日は昇り 日は沈み振り向けば
何もかも移ろい去って
青丹よし平城山の空に満月

Mahoroba

From Mount Kasuga to Tobinobe field
Shadows sway and flicker in the muddy twilight
In the Pieris forest's Pieris trees
I searched and searched for the path back home

My distant tomorrow seems beyond my grasp
While you fret over the mud at your feet
The emptiness of our clasped hands
Casted us to our silent parting

The river flows ever forward
Carrying away the ephemeral time
Yesterday is yesterday, tomorrow is tomorrow
Today, once gone, will never return

If you were to wait, so you said
Until frost gathers in your raven hair
But waiting like that
Is like a letter without a destination

The deer cries out, searching for shelter
A black bird follows, the sound of its bell alone
On the Pieris branch it ties and weaves
A love letter, its recipient unknown

A spider's thread, supporting us both
It trembles and strains, a thread of white
Will I abandon you, or will I vanish?
Perhaps we should fall together

The river flows, its course unaltered
Carrying away dreams of illusion
Yesterday is yesterday, tomorrow is tomorrow
Today, once gone, will never return

If you could die here, you exclaimed
Your words, they cannot be all lies
Yet not entirely true either
They neither promise nor deny

The sun rises, the sun sets, and when I look back
All has changed and faded away
Under the blue sky of Mount Yoshino, there's only the full moon
