Paroles et traduction Shinji Tanimura - 春雷のあとで・・・

春雷のあとで・・・

時は五月 花咲く街角
浮かれて流れる 車の河
夏を告げる 気まぐれ五月雨
急ぎ足人は 雨を避けながら
稲妻駈け抜ける 夕暮れの空
耳をふさいだ 貴方の肩越しに
濡れた指先 手に霞草
時は五月 夏はすぐそこに...

時は九月 色づく街角
冬の訪れ 知らせる風達
いつだって貴方は 何も話してくれないまま
私を置き去りに 歩き始めてゆく
何かを求めゆく 終りへの旅は
それに気づいていた 本当よ私は
悲しいくらいにやさしいはずの貴方
時は九月 いつしか落葉時

時は五月 夢去りし街角
変わらぬ景色に行きかう人波
悲しい目をした 人間ばかりが
ぬくもり求めてすれちがう中
疲れすぎた足 傷ついた心
どこへもやりばのないむなしさよ
せめたりしないわ 貴方のことは
求めたりしないわ 小さななぐさめなんて

After the Thunder...

It's May, flowers bloom on the street corner
A river of cars flows by, carefree
May showers, fickle heralds of summer
People hurry along, seeking shelter from the rain
Lightning races through the sky at dusk
I cover my ears, over your shoulder
Dewy fingertips, Queen Anne's lace in my hand
It's May, summer is just around the corner...

It's September, the city streets are turning color
Winds whisper the approach of winter
As always, you say nothing, you simply begin walking
Leaving me behind
Your journey's end, a search for something more
I knew it, I truly did
You're so gentle, it's almost cruel
It's September, and the leaves are falling

It's May, the dreams have faded from the street corner
The same scenery, with people coming and going
Everyone looks so sad
They pass each other by in search of warmth
Weary feet, wounded hearts
A bottomless emptiness
I won't blame you, my darling
I won't ask for anything, not even a little comfort
