Paroles et traduction Naotaro Moriyama - よく虫が死んでいる

よく虫が死んでいる

起き抜けの朝とか 眠れない夜とか
私の部屋では よく虫が死んでいる
立て付けのよくない 一軒家だから
よく虫が死んでしまうのかもだな
考え事をしてる自分に気付くと
丸まった背中 眉間には皺
私は一体 何を考えてたのか
自分の背中に問いかけたりして
動物とはあまりに違うから 虫たちは遠い宇宙から来たと
子供の頃は思ってたけれど 最近じゃあんまり思わなくなった
よく虫が死んでいる よく虫が死んでいる
私の部屋では よく虫が死んでいる
汗だくの夏とか 霜焼けの冬とか
季節に限らず よく虫が死んでいる
我が国は四方を 海に囲まれてるから
よく虫が死んでしまうのかもだな
恐竜とか太古の昔から 生き延びてきたとは思えないほど
儚く脆くそれでいてグロテスク 縦んば友達になれたとしても
よく虫が死んでいる よく虫が死んでいる
茶碗の中でも よく虫が死んでいる
よく虫が死んでいる よく虫が死んでいる
私の部屋では よく虫が死んでいる

Insects Often Die

Upon waking in the morning, or in the sleepless nights,
In my room, insects often die.
Because it's an old house with poor fittings,
Maybe that's why insects often end up dead.
When I catch myself lost in thought,
With a hunched back and furrowed brow,
What exactly was I thinking about?
I ask my own back, you see.
Because they're so different from animals, as a child I thought insects came from a distant universe,
But lately, I don't think that way anymore.
Insects often die, insects often die.
In my room, insects often die.
In the sweaty summer, or the frostbitten winter,
Regardless of the season, insects often die.
Because our country is surrounded by the sea on all sides,
Maybe that's why insects often end up dead.
They seem so ephemeral and fragile, almost grotesque, that I can't believe they've survived since the dinosaurs and ancient times,
Even if we could become friends vertically.
Insects often die, insects often die.
Even in my teacup, insects often die.
Insects often die, insects often die.
In my room, insects often die.
