Paroles et traduction Tamio Okuda - Sutaudamaiyar

Sutaudamaiyar

地図上ではほんの20センチほど 知らない町はずれに滞在中
窓の外には学校が見えて ボールのあるところに子供
ぐるぐる 回って ぐるぐる いつまでも

ぐらぐらの歯と枯れた声の調子は 海の向こうではいまいち解りづらい
ねこと金魚も思い出しながら 着替えて出かけるところ
ぐるぐる 回って 明日も どこへでも

野をこえ 山こえ 川こえ 谷こえ 海をこえ
とびこえ のりこえ まちがえ わきまえ 日々をふまえ
ぐるぐる 行くから わかるだろう

ぐるぐる 回って 回って どこまでも
君の涙を風が運んで星の砂
ゆれている 燃えている しおさいに浮かんだ未知の島
野をこえ 山こえ 川こえ 谷こえ 時をこえ
とびこえ のりこえ まちがえ わきまえ 日々をふまえ
ぐるぐる 回って 帰るから

地図上は今は北が上だけど 僕には西も東も全部前
僕の右手はもうぼろぼろだけど まだまだやる事はたくさん
そろそろ 寝るから おやすみを

Sutaudamaiyar

On the map, it's only about 20 centimeters away. I'm staying in an unknown suburb.
I can see a school outside the window. There are children where there is a ball.
Round and round, round and round, forever.

My shaky teeth and hoarse voice are hard to understand across the ocean.
Remembering the cat and the goldfish, I'm getting dressed and going out.
Round and round, tomorrow too, anywhere.

Over the fields, over the mountains, over the rivers, over the valleys, over the sea.
I jump over, ride over, make mistakes, understand, and face each day.
I'll keep going round and round, so you'll see.

Round and round, round and round, to the ends of the earth.
The wind carries your tears and the stars of the sand.
It's shaking, it's burning, an unknown island floating in the surf.
Over the fields, over the mountains, over the rivers, over the valleys, over time.
I jump over, ride over, make mistakes, understand, and face each day.
I'll keep going round and round, so I'll come back.

On the map, north is up now, but for me, west, east, it's all ahead.
My right hand is all worn out, but I still have a lot to do.
I'm going to bed now. Good night.
