Paroles et traduction Mariya Takeuchi - 象牙海岸

象牙海岸

海岸線沿いに夏雲が雪崩れると
砂の蜃気楼に立ちすくむ影ひとつ
人影もない入江
そこが二人の秘密の場所で
象牙海岸と名前までつけた
遠い夏
あれから私時の波間を
ただ流れ木のように
ひとりで生きて来たの
もう一度訪ねても
道順さえも記憶の彼方
夢の中で見た風景のように
遠い海
あなたのあとに愛を知って
ただ流れ木のように
岸辺で踊っただけ
三年をへだててあなたから来た電話
懐かしい名前に忘れているふりをした
冷たいと言われたけど
本当の気持ちもし話しても
過ぎ去った時を埋めるものはない
遠い夏... 遠い夏... 遠い夏...

Ivory Coast

When the summer clouds avalanche along the coastline
A single shadow stands frozen in the sandy mirage
An inlet with no human presence
That's where our secret spot used to be
We even named it Ivory Coast
A distant summer
Since then, I've been adrift in the waves of time
Like a piece of driftwood
Living my life alone
Even if I were to visit there again
The path to it lies beyond the reach of memory
Like a scene I saw in a dream
A distant sea
After you, I came to know love
But like driftwood
I only danced on the shore
Three years later, I received a phone call from you
I pretended to have forgotten the familiar name
You said I was cold
But if I told you my true feelings
Nothing could fill the gap in time
A distant summer... A distant summer... A distant summer...
