Paroles et traduction 太田裕美 - 茶いろの鞄

茶いろの鞄

路面電車でガタゴト走り
橋を渡れば校庭がある
のばした髪に帽子をのせた
あいつの影がねえ見えるようだわ
人は誰でも振り返るのよ
机の奥の茶色の鞄
埃をそっと指でぬぐうと
よみがえるのよ 懐しい日々

学生服に煙草かくして
代返させてサボったあいつ
人間らしく生きたいんだと
私にだけは ねえやさしかったわ
もう帰らない遠い日なのに
あの日のままね茶色の鞄
大人になって変わる私を
恥ずかしいよな気持にさせる

運ぶ夢などもう何もない
中は空っぽ茶色の鞄
誰も自分の倖せはかる
ものさしなんて持ってなかった
誰かが描いた相合傘を
黒板消しでおこって拭いた
あいつも今は色褪せてゆく
写真の中で ねえ逢えるだけなの

Brown School Bag

Going jangling on a streetcar
Cross the bridge to a schoolyard
Hat perched on your long hair
I swear I can see that shadow of yours
You can't go anywhere without turning heads
The brown bag sitting deep in your desk
When you gently brush the dust away
You're transported, to the fond old days

Hiding cigarettes in your school uniform
Skipping out by getting others to cover for you
You just wanted to be true to yourself
But to me, you were just sweet
Those days are gone, but
That brown bag stays the same
It makes me feel ashamed
As an adult, I've changed so much

Nothing more to dream about
Just an empty brown bag now
Everyone's got their own yardstick to measure happiness
No one has one for themselves
You erased the matching umbrellas someone drew
With the blackboard eraser, in a rage
Now you're just a faded memory in a photograph
All I can do now, is meet you there
