Paroles et traduction Izumi Makura - circus

circus

誰もの目を引くトピック
山積みの週刊誌に
あきれるような見出しが溢れてる
うるさい文字は
挑発的でなんか妙な不安まで覚える
邪魔くさいものは捨てて
塞いでた気持ちとリスタート
ただ生きてたって求める幸せ
忘れないように鍵かけて
見たくないものは見なくていい
外はサーカス
「あの人何か間違えたならすぐに
首吊るまで責めてやるのに」
「ざまぁみろ、自業自得、有名税」
そんな気まぐれな正義に
皆少し夢中みたい
こんなこわい世界抜け出して
走って 遠くへ もっと！

辿り着く広い部屋 一人きり 小さな明かりだけ
眠りにつくの

火の輪くぐれ 綱を渡れ
そんなこと皆自分の中で
いつも強いられて生きているのにね

誰のための痛み？ 答えひとつなのに
他人の目ってくだらない
人知れず傷つき
心奮い立ち 向かう先に幸信じ
走って 走って遠くへ もっと！

「あの人何か間違えたならすぐに
首吊るまで責めてやるのに」

Circus

Who steals the eyes of everybody
In weekly magazines stacked up high
Absurd headlines spilling over
Noisy letters
Provocative, stirring up unease
Throw away what’s annoying
Lock up my feelings and start again
The happiness I ask for just by being alive
Lock it up, not forgetting
There’s no need to see what you don’t want to see
Outside is the circus
“If that person does something wrong, I’ll
Immediately hang them by the neck and berate them”
“Serves you right, reap what you sow, the price of fame”
Everyone is a little crazy for such whimsical justice
Everyone seems a little enthralled
Escape from this terrifying world
Run somewhere distant, far away!

Arrive at a large, empty room, only me, a tiny light
I’m going to fall asleep

Jump through hoops of fire, walk a tightrope
We’re always forced to do these things inside ourselves
Yet we all go on living, don’t we?

Whose pain is this? The answer is simple
The eyes of others are so worthless
Getting hurt without anyone knowing
My heart leaps up, heading towards a future where I believe in happiness
Run, run somewhere distant, far away!

“If that person does something wrong, I’ll
Immediately hang them by the neck and berate them”
