人生かくれんぼ - Hiroshi Itsuki traduction en anglais

人生かくれんぼ

惚れていたんだ おまえにだけは
ぐちになるから 言葉にゃださぬ
風がしみるよ 心がさむい
ちょいと人生 かくれんぼ
灯りひろって ちどり足

わかるもんかよ やさしさだけじゃ
生きてゆけない 男のにがさ
バカな奴だよ 背中をむけて
ちょいと人生 かくれんぼ
意地をとおして ひとりぼっち

時がうつれば 世間も変わる
変わりようない おいらの心
酒よ今夜は 酔わせてほしい
ちょいと人生 かくれんぼ
泣いて笑って 生きてゆく

Life's Hide-and-Seek

I was in love, only with you,
But it'd be complaining, so I kept it unsaid.
The wind cuts through me, my heart is cold,
Just playing life's hide-and-seek.
Picking up the lights, tiptoeing along.

How could you understand? Just kindness alone
Isn't enough for a man to live on, it's a bitter truth.
I'm a fool, turning my back,
Just playing life's hide-and-seek.
Stubbornly going it alone.

Time passes, the world changes,
But my heart remains the same.
Oh, sake, tonight, let me get drunk,
Just playing life's hide-and-seek.
Laughing and crying, living on.
