Paroles et traduction Kei Ogura - 白い一日

白い一日

真っ白な陶磁器を
眺めてはあきもせず
かといってふれもせず

そんな風に君のまわりで
僕の一日が過ぎてゆく

目の前の紙くずは
古くさい手紙だし
自分でもおかしいし
破りすてて寝ころがれば
僕の一日が過ぎてゆく

ある日踏切のむこうに君がいて
通り過ぎる汽車を待つ
遮断機が上がり振りむいた君は
もう大人の顔をしてるだろう

この腕をさしのべて
その肩を抱きしめて
ありふれた幸せに
落ち込めればいいのだけど
今日も一日が過ぎてゆく

真っ白な陶磁器を
眺めてはあきもせず
かといってふれもせず
そんな風に君のまわりで
僕の一日が過ぎてゆく

A Day In White

I gaze at pure white porcelain
And never tire of it
But I never touch it

That's how I spend my days around you
My days just pass me by

The scrap of paper before me
Is an old letter
It's strange even to me
As I tear it up and lie down
My day passes me by

One day, you were on the other side of the railroad crossing
Waiting for the train to pass
The crossing gate went up and you turned around
You had already become an adult

I wanted to reach out my arm
And put my arm around your shoulder
And we could happily fall
Into a life of normalcy
But another day passes me by

I gaze at pure white porcelain
And never tire of it
But I never touch it
That's how I spend my days around you
My days just pass me by
