Paroles et traduction 吉井和哉 - 甲羅

甲羅

もうやめた もう飽きた もうさようなら
ひらひら花びら
ないものないもの触れやせん
あるもの育ててみたいから
夜明けに街を出る
行った事ないけど中国の深い谷に流れる河で
顔を洗って水を飲んで都会に戻れば、、
ニイハオニイハオすれちがう
再見再見
老人が背中でなぐさめた
急に降った雨が大粒の雨が通り過ぎたら
新しい私に
目をつぶって浴びよう
そしてまたカメのように歩きだしたら
全部忘れちゃいな
乗っかった過去の甲羅キレイにはならない
だけど私は過去には隠れない
アイキャンゲットノーサティスファイ
ハッタリばっかで
心ゆくまで響かせ鳴らせ
ビルとビルの谷間で人混みのカフェで
お茶を飲んで新しい私に
のろくたって明日の太陽を浴びながら
歩きだしたら
全部忘れちゃいな

Turtle Shell

I'm done with this, I'm tired of this, this is goodbye
Petals flutter
I won't touch what's not there
Because I want to nurture what is
I'll leave town at dawn
I've never been there, but by the river that flows through the deep valley in China
I will wash my face and drink the water, and when I return to the city,
"Ni hao ni hao" we'll greet each other as we pass by
"Zai jian zai jian"
An old man consoled me with a pat on the back
After the sudden downpour of heavy rain
I will expose myself to the new me
Close my eyes and take it all in
And when I start walking again like a turtle
I'll forget about everything
The shell of the past that I carried around won't become pretty
But I won't hide in the past
I can't get no satisfaction
It's just empty bravado
Let it resonate and make noise as much as you want
Between the buildings and the crowds, in a cafe
I'll drink tea with the new me
Even if I'm slow, as long as I'm basking in the sun of tomorrow
If I start walking,
I'll forget about everything
