Paroles et traduction Shinji Tanimura - Sorezore no Aki

Sorezore no Aki

陽溜まりの坂道に立ちどまり
通りすぎる学生を見ていた
俺もあの頃はあんなふうに
きらきらと輝いて見えたろう
授業にも出ずに お茶を飲みながら
くだらない夢を話した
突然おこった不精ひげのおまえも
噂では苦労していると

今も忘れられないのはあの時の言葉
幸せになろうなんて思っちゃいけない

愛した女ひとりと 苦労を共に出来たなら
そんなささやかな人生も きっと悪くはない
夢、散りじり夏はすぎ去り それぞれの秋

たしか去年の初夏の頃
届いた一通の手紙には
旅好きなあいつのおふくろから
痛々しいほどの細い文字
ある雨の朝 見知らぬ町で
自ら命を終えたと
母に残した一行の言葉
悲しみだけが人生

今も忘れられないのは あいつの口ぐせ
人は自分の死に場所を捜すために生きる

ささやかに 生きている友達の
人生とは 一体何んだろう
あざやかに死んだ 友達の
人生とは、一体何んだろう
夢、散りじり夏はすぎ去り それぞれの秋

今では二人の思い出も 忘れかけるほどの毎日
ふと立ちどまる道端に 悲しいほど赤い落日

夢、散りじり夏はすぎ去り それぞれの秋
夢、散りじり夏はすぎ去り それぞれの秋

Autumn for each of us

Standing still on the path in the sun
I watched the students passing by
In those days, I was just like that
I must have seemed radiant
Skipping class, sipping tea
Chatting about our worthless dreams
You too, with your sudden beard,
I hear you are going through a hard time

I still can’t forget the words you said
I shouldn’t think about being happy

If I could have struggled together with the woman I loved
An ordinary life like that, would certainly not be so bad
Dreams scattered, summer passed, and for each of us, autumn

I think it was around the beginning of last summer
I received a letter
From the mother of my friend who loved to travel
Painfully thin handwriting
On a rainy morning, in an unknown town
He took his own life
Written to his mother, in a single phrase
Sadness is the only life

I still can’t forget your catchphrase
People search for a place to die

The friends who live on, ordinary
What do they call life
The friend who died vibrantly,
What did he call life
Dreams scattered, summer passed, and for each of us, autumn

Now, even the memories of you both, I forget, day by day
I stop for a moment, at the roadside where a sunset burns crimson, so beautiful it hurts

Dreams scattered, summer passed, and for each of us, autumn
Dreams scattered, summer passed, and for each of us, autumn
