Paroles et traduction Mariya Takeuchi - Junai Rhapsody

Junai Rhapsody

明るいだけが取り柄でも
私だって命がけの恋に憧れることがある
ドラマティックな出来事は
起こるはずもないくらいに平凡を生きてきた
あなたとの出逢いの日を境にして
すべてが輝き始めて 想いは募るばかり
愛し方何ひとつ知らないままで
飛び込んだぬくもりは他の誰かのものだけど
タイムカードを押すたびに
ふと感じる物足りなさ いつしか消えてたの
恋の舞台に上がっても
脇役しかもらえなくて セリフはいつでもひとり言
見えぬ鎖につながれた
あなたの心奪うのは ルール違反でしょうか
遅すぎためぐり逢いを 悔やみながら
過去にやきもち焼いたって
戻せない時までは
片づいてゆく仲間達に ため息
どこまでも 主役には なれない私でもいいの
人をこんなに好きになり
優しさと強さ知ったわ それだけで幸せ
形では愛の深さは測れない
さよならが永遠の絆に変わることもある
二度と会えないふたりでも
胸の中で生き続ける 大好きな微笑み
So, I sing this rhapsody for you
So, I sing this rhapsody for you

Junai Rhapsody

Even if my only virtue is my cheerfulness,
I too have yearned for a life-threatening love.
I have lived so ordinarily that dramatic events
are unlikely to occur.
My life has been transformed since the day I met you,
everything has started to sparkle and my feelings only grow.
I don't know how to love properly,
the warmth I've found belongs to someone else.
But every time I punch the time clock,
the sudden sense of emptiness that I used to feel has disappeared.
Even if I were to step onto the stage of love,
all I would get is a supporting role, my lines would always be monologues.
I am bound by invisible chains.
Is it against the rules for me to steal your heart?
I regret our late encounter,
but even if I were to be jealous of the past,
there is no way to turn back time.
I sigh as my friends settle down,
I will never be the leading lady, but that's fine with me.
I’ve come to know true love and strength,
just that is enough to make me happy.
The depth of love cannot be measured by its form,
sometimes farewell turns into an eternal bond.
Even if we never meet again,
your beloved smile will continue to live on in my heart.
So, I sing this rhapsody for you.
So, I sing this rhapsody for you.
