Paroles et traduction Shinji Tanimura - 冬の雁

冬の雁

手紙はみんな破りすてた
燃やす勇気はあったけれど
雨の気配ね窓の外は
濡れてる人もいるんでしょうね

あなたがくれた言葉を生きがいに
暮らしつづけてきたそれも今日まで
悲しいけれどやさしさだけでは
生きてゆけない
そんな年なのおかしいでしょう

食事の仕度をしなければ
母がいないと大変なのよ
雨の気配は道をおおい
きっとあなたも濡らすでしょうね

人それぞれの幸せがあるらしいわ
私はこれできっと良かったのよ
好きやきらいで別れたりできる
遊びまがいの恋は出来ない
おかしいでしょう

おかしいと言えばこの家で
生まれてずっと暮らしてきたわ
心配ばかりかけつづけの
出来の良くない娘だったわ

昨日の夜も父の背中を見ていると
私はゆけない私はゆけない
飛べない鳥は空を見つめて
涙流すけれど飛ばない鳥なの
おかしいでしょう

Winter Geese

I've torn up all your letters
I had the courage to burn them
The rain is approaching outside my window
There are probably people also getting wet

I'll continue to live on guided by your words
I've kept on living until today
It's sad, but kindness alone
Can't sustain me
It's strange to be this old

I have to prepare dinner
It's difficult without my mother
The rain is covering the street
It will surely get you wet too.

Everyone has their own happiness it seems
I should be fine as I am
We can break up based on likes and dislikes
I can't have a love like a game
It's strange

Speaking of strange, I've lived in this house
Since I was born
I've always been causing trouble
I was never a good daughter

Last night, I looked at my father's back
I can't go, I can't go
A flightless bird stares at the sky
And sheds tears, but it never flies
It's strange.
