Paroles et traduction May J. - 遠く遠く

遠く遠く

遠く遠く離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
外苑の桜は咲き乱れ
この頃になるといつでも
新幹線のホームに舞った
見えない花吹雪思い出す
まるで七五三の時のように
ぎこちないスーツ姿も
今ではわりと似合うんだ
ネクタイも上手く選べる
同窓会の案内状
欠席に丸をつけた
「元気かどうかしんぱいです。」と
手紙をくれるみんなに
遠く遠く離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
いつでも帰ってくればいいと
真夜中の公衆電話で
言われたとき 笑顔になって
今までやってこれたよ
どんなに高いタワーからも
見えない僕のふるさと
失くしちゃだめなことをいつでも
胸に抱きしめているから
遠く遠く離れた街で
元気に暮らせているんだ
大事なのは
"変わってくこと"
"変わらずにいること"
同窓会の案内状
欠席に丸をつけた
だれよりも今はみんなの顔
見たい気持ちでいるけど
遠く遠く離れていても
僕のことがわかるように
力いっぱい 輝ける日を
この街で迎えたい
僕の夢をかなえる場所は
この街と決めたから

Where You Are

Even though I'm far, far away
I hope you can see who I've become
I'm shining as bright as I can
In this city, I found my home
The cherry blossoms in Gaien are in bloom
Every year around this time
The petals dance at the Shinkansen platform
A beautiful, invisible snowfall
Like when I was a child at the Shichi-Go-San festival
My suit was always too big for me
But now, I wear it well
I'm learning to tie my tie
The invitation to my class reunion
I circled "not attending"
To the friends who wrote to me, saying
"We're worried about you. Are you okay?"
Even though I'm far, far away
I hope you can see who I've become
I'm shining as bright as I can
In this city, I found my home
You said I could come home anytime
When you called me late at night
Your words made me smile
And I've been holding on ever since
No matter how tall the tower
I can't see my hometown
But I always carry the things I've learned
Close to my heart
In this distant city
I'm living a good life
What's important is
"To change"
"And to stay the same"
The invitation to my class reunion
I circled "not attending"
More than anything
I want to see your face
Even though I'm far, far away
I hope you can see who I've become
I'm shining as bright as I can
In this city, I found my home
This city is where I'll make my dreams come true
Because I've made up my mind
