ART(FCO2811)

ストリートミュージシャンがいた
1人でギター掻き鳴らしながら
彼はこう言った
金をくれ、タイムマシンを買って1950年代に帰るんだって
俺は小銭を投げ入れた
二度と会えない街や人や物や
現在生きていることを誰に残せるか
今残せるか

いつからだって...

酷い雨が降り出して工事現場の人たちは仕事の手を一度止めて
急ごしらえのトタン屋根に集まって歌を歌ってた
ここは神の住む国 決まった時間に聞こえる神への祈り
錆びついたサイレンのように響き
生ぬるい監獄の中で誰もが雨音と歌い 夢を見る

I need your love like a butterfly flys on flowers, yeah
I just need you, I just need you, need you, need you
いつからだって いつからだって...
いつからだって...

アメリカはメイン州に住む俺の祖母が星になった
日本とアメリカはそれこそ星と地上くらい離れてるから
会える機会も少なくて
俺を忘れてしまったかと思ったけど
そんな祖母の家には今も
幼い頃俺が書き残した絵がたくさん飾ってあった
俺が何を伝えることができたのか わからないけど

ねぇ、あなたも誰かが必要でしょう？
伝えたい 知らせたい 聴かせたい

いつからだって いつからだって...
いつからだって...

There was a street musician
Sitting alone strumming on his guitar
He said to me
"Hey, give me some money, I'm gonna buy a time machine and go back to the 1950s."
I threw him some change
Cities, people, things that I’ll never see again
Who can I entrust the present with?
Can I entrust it now?

Never too late...

A terrible rain started to come down, and folks on a construction site stopped working for a bit
They gathered under a makeshift tin roof and sang a song together.
This is a God-fearing nation, where prayers to God can be heard at set times.
It echoes like a rusty siren.
In this lukewarm prison, everyone dreams while listening to the rain and the singing.

I need your love like a butterfly flies on flowers, yeah
I just need you, I just need you, need you, need you
Never too late, never too late...
Never too late...

My grandmother, who lived in the state of Maine in the United States, became a star.
Japan and the United States are as far apart as stars and the Earth,
So we rarely got to see each other, and
I thought she had forgotten about me...
But at my grandmother's house
There are still many pictures that I drew when I was a child.
I don't know what I was able to convey, but

Hey, don't you need someone, too?
I want to tell you, I want to let you know, I want you to listen.

Never too late, never too late...
Never too late...
