Paroles et traduction Yojiro Noda - WALTZ OF KARMA

WALTZ OF KARMA

恥ずかしさに顔歪めど僕ら記憶から 到底逃げられない
後悔が唯一で 無二の命の源たり得るのですか？ ですか？

抗えないものでこの世の九分九厘できてるというのに
残された一厘の世界でもがき続ける僕らは

どんな風に映るの 笑うの堪えてるの？

愛された記憶が僕らを 臆病者へと歪める
減点法の世界線上で 愛し方さえも試される

乾いた街が今日も あの子の溜まった涙吸い込む
歌にも映画にもならぬ 感情がシンクに流れる

逆らえないものがこの世にあるおかげで 僕らもしかして
ジリ貧の「優しさ」なんてものを抱えて 生きていられるのですか？

もしもそうなら 小さく微笑んでみて よね

WALTZ OF KARMA

Even though I distort my face in shame, we can't escape from our memories, not at all.
Can regret truly be the one and only source of life? Can it, darling?

They say 99% of this world is made up of things we can't resist,
but we keep struggling in that remaining 1% of the world.

How do we look? Are you holding back laughter, my love?

The memories of being loved distort us into cowards.
Even the way we love is tested on the curve of a world of demerits.

The dry city absorbs her accumulated tears again today.
Emotions that won't become songs or movies flow down the drain.

Is it thanks to the things we can't go against in this world that maybe we
can live on while holding onto something like this meager "kindness"? Tell me, darling.

If that's so, give me a small smile, won't you?
