Paroles et traduction Masayoshi Yamazaki - Polaroid Shashin

Polaroid Shashin

フェンスの向こうの夕焼け 工場の終業のサイレン
オイルと汗が混じった匂いが体にまとわりついていた
日に焼けたポラロイド写真 あいつはふざけて笑ってる
事あるごとに張り合ったけど 結局のとこ勝てなかったな
馬鹿だったなぁ 疑うことを知らず 永遠を信じていた
若かったなぁ 誰かを傷つける 危うさに気づかないまま
素知らぬ顔のフェンス越しの空に
容易く壊れない夢を探していた
いつか胸にしまった刃は 気がついたら錆びついていた
うまく立ち回ろうとしたけど 何の役にも立たなかったな
甘かったなぁ 溢れる思いだけで うまくいくと信じていた
長かったなぁ 何も分かってなかった そんなことに気づけるまで
少し霞んだ 暮れて行く街に
いつか見たあの時の空を探している
馬鹿だったなぁ 剥き出しのままで 気持ちを抑えきれずに
甘かったなぁ ただ情熱だけで どうにかなると思っていた
まだまだかなぁ 全ては行き過ぎる そんなことに気づけるまで
あの日写したあいつとの写真に
心が求めた永遠を見た気がした

Polaroid Photo

Sunset beyond the fence and the siren signaling the end of the workday at the factory,
a smell of oil and sweat mixes with the air and clings to my body.
A sun-bleached Polaroid photo, you're smiling and kidding around,
we were always arguing, but in the end, I just couldn't win.
I was such an idiot, never knowing how to doubt, believing in forever.
I was so young, oblivious to the pain I could inflict,
in the sky beyond the fence, a face of pretended ignorance,
I was searching for the kind of dream that wouldn't break so easily.
The blade that I kept hidden in my chest grew rusty before I knew it.
I tried to play it smart, but it didn't do any good.
I was so naive, so convinced that my overflowing emotions would lead to success.
I was so slow, so unaware of everything, until I finally realized.
In the slightly hazy evening glow of the city,
I'm searching for that sky I once saw.
I was stupid, so open and raw, unable to control my feelings.
I was naive, convinced that passion alone could make anything happen.
There's still so much I don't know, everything passes by, until I finally come to understand.
In the photo I took that day, of you and I,
I feel like I found the eternity my heart was longing for.
