Paroles et traduction feat. Ray - 日の出ずる国

日の出ずる国

どこへ向かうこの国は 日の出ずる国小さな島国で
生きていく俺ら このままでいいと思いますか?
どこへ向かうこの国は 色んな問題を抱えたまま
今の自分に何が出来る? 心に問いかける歌いながら

嫌なニュースが目に飛び込んだ 虐待されて子供が死んだ
無数の青あざ 火傷の跡 死亡原因は栄養失調
子供がいてない俺だから 親の気持ちはまだ分からんが
胸に渦巻くこの気持ち 消えるの見たくない小さな命

暗い気分のままTV 眺めてる一人きり
すると始まった番組は金持ち社長夫人の自慢話
片やストレス解消の道具 片や楽しい人生のトーク
それを見て俺は何を思う 身近にある天国と地獄

どこへ向かうこの国は 日の出ずる国小さな島国で
生きていく俺ら このままでいいと思いますか?
どこへ向かうこの国は 色んな問題を抱えたまま
今の自分に何が出来る? 心に問いかける歌いながら

2011 3.11 東日本を襲った一撃
大勢の死傷者 流された建物 未曾有の悲劇
さらに悪いのは まき散らされた放射能
こんな日本を 昔の人 未来の人 世界の人は どう思うだろう

2020年東京オリンピック万歳 欲しいのは鐘と金や
そしてもっと欲しいのは 夢と希望と 安心や
獣道を行く柔道みたいに何本も一本獲って
世界の見本になれる様に がんばれ日本!! Yeah!!

どこへ向かうこの国は 日の出ずる国小さな島国で
生きていく俺ら このままでいいと思いますか?
どこへ向かうこの国は 色んな問題を抱えたまま
今の自分に何が出来る? 心に問いかける歌いながら

色々便利になっていくのに幸せになれないのはなんで?
税金も年金もこの先払っていけるか不安になんで
自殺 蒸発 引きこもり 可哀そうやけど明日は我が身やんけ
もっとひどい状況の国もあるだろうに目に入らないのはなんで?

もっと良くなって欲しい 俺が生きていくこの国
したくない 見て見ぬふり知らんぷり けど自分の生活も大事
出口の見えない問題多過ぎて 何が出来るか分からずに
暗い部屋で思う一人ぼっち 俺が向かう明日はどっち!?

どこへ向かうこの国は 日の出ずる国小さな島国で
生きていく俺ら このままでいいと思いますか?
どこへ向かうこの国は 色んな問題を抱えたまま
今の自分に何が出来る? 心に問いかける歌いながら

The Land of the Rising Sun

Where is this country heading, the Land of the Rising Sun, small island nation?
We live here, my love. Do you think this is enough?
Where is this country heading, with all these problems?
What can I do, as I sing these words, asking myself this question?

I see horrible news, a child has died from abuse
Covered in bruises and burns, malnutrition was the cause of death
I don't have children yet, so I can't understand a parent's pain
But my heart is heavy, I can't bear to see such a young life lost

I'm watching TV, feeling down, all alone
And a show comes on, a wealthy CEO's wife bragging about her life
For some, it's a way to escape stress, for others, it's a life of luxury
As I watch, I think about the contrast, heaven and hell, so close

Where is this country heading, the Land of the Rising Sun, small island nation?
We live here, my love. Do you think this is enough?
Where is this country heading, with all these problems?
What can I do, as I sing these words, asking myself this question?

March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami struck eastern Japan
Many people died or were injured, buildings were destroyed, an unprecedented tragedy
And to make matters worse, radiation was released
I wonder what people in the past, in the future, and around the world think of Japan now

2020 Tokyo Olympics, everyone's cheering for Japan, we want gold medals
But what we really need is dreams, hope, and peace of mind
Like judo, where we strive for excellence and win many matches
Let's show the world what we can do, let's go Japan!! Yeah!!

Where is this country heading, the Land of the Rising Sun, small island nation?
We live here, my love. Do you think this is enough?
Where is this country heading, with all these problems?
What can I do, as I sing these words, asking myself this question?

We have so many conveniences, but why are we not happier?
I worry about taxes and pensions, can we afford to pay for them in the future?
Suicide, disappearance, withdrawal from society, it's sad, but it could happen to any of us
There are countries with much worse conditions, but why don't we notice them?

I want my country to be a better place, for me and for all of us
I don't want to ignore problems or pretend they don't exist, but I also have to take care of myself
The problems are endless, I feel lost, I don't know what I can do
In this dark room, I sit alone, wondering about the future, what does it hold for me?

Where is this country heading, the Land of the Rising Sun, small island nation?
We live here, my love. Do you think this is enough?
Where is this country heading, with all these problems?
What can I do, as I sing these words, asking myself this question?
