Paroles et traduction Naotaro Moriyama - 時代は変わる

時代は変わる

ああだこうだと屁理屈並べて
のらりくらりでどこまで行くのか
西から東へ地球は廻る
そうさこうして むすんでひらいて

時代は変わる 空の青さに理由を求め
時代は変わる 海の向こうの気配に怯え
嗚呼 もう時代は変わる
変わらぬモノを笑い飛ばせと

どうせ短き命じゃないか
手前の飯もくれてやれよと
奪い合うのが芸じゃないぜよ
陸海空の先に太陽

時代は変わる 誰でも言えるそれが真実
時代は変わる 後にも先にも今しかなくて
嗚呼 もう時代は変わる
変わらぬコトを弾き飛ばせと

やいのやいのと 諸手を挙げて
祭の合図を待っていたのさ
たかが百年 掛けても万年
この身の限り言ってみただけ

時代は変わる 涙を堪え僕らをノセて
時代は変わる 夕日はまるで朝日のようで
嗚呼 もう時代は変わる
宇宙の果てでイジケる同胞 おーい！

時代は変わる 眠れぬ夜に聴こえる歌よ
時代は変わる 新たに生まれる命の限り
嗚呼 もう時代は変わる
言葉が愛を越えない夜に

嗚呼 もう時代は変わる
変わらぬモノを笑い飛ばせと
変わらぬモノを笑い飛ばせと

Times Are Changing

You line up your specious reasoning,
How long will you beat around the bush?
The Earth turns from west to east,
So tie and untie the knot.

Times are changing; you seek reason in the blue of the sky,
Times are changing; you cower at the presence beyond the sea,
Oh, times are changing,
They tell you to laugh at the things that never change.

Our lives are short, aren't they?
Could you spare some food for me?
It's not skillful to fight over things,
Beyond the land, sea, and sky is the sun.

Times are changing; everyone can say it, and it's true,
Times are changing; there's only now, before and after,
Oh, times are changing,
They tell you to challenge the things that never change.

Hey, hey, you raise your hands
And wait for the festival's signal.
A mere hundred years, or even ten thousand years,
I've just said what I could within my lifetime.

Times are changing; they carry us along, holding back our tears,
Times are changing; the sunset is like a sunrise,
Oh, times are changing,
Hey, my comrades sulking at the edge of the universe!

Times are changing; this song can be heard on sleepless nights,
Times are changing; for the lives that are newly born,
Oh, times are changing,
On nights when words fail to surpass love.

Oh, times are changing,
They tell you to laugh at the things that never change,
They tell you to laugh at the things that never change.
