Paroles et traduction 小椋佳 - 徒らに、戯らに

徒らに、戯らに

然したることも無いままに
君のあとさき行き違い
男と女 犬と猫
結局距離は縮まらず
夢が欲しさに 男とは
深く付き合い 女とは
浅く付き合う 旅人の
魂未だ 死に切れず
要領良さに 女とは
深く付き合い 男とは
浅く付き合う 洒落人の
魂未だ 殺されず

徒らに時走る 戯らに人笑う
神たなごころの 遊園地

然したることの無い憂さに
夢のコスモスひとむれを
真昼の空に 飛ばしつつ
目先の瑣事も捨て切れず

夢が欲しさに人集め
団欒談笑 さもなくば
放歌高吟 夜は更けて
人一人さえ 傷つかず
祭づくりに 人集め
理屈筋書 飾り立て
喝采の中 気が付けば
恋人遠く 背も見えず

徒らに時走る 戯らに人笑う
神たなごころの 遊園地

然したることも 無いけれど
眠れぬ夜を寝過ごせば
珈琲豆を 挽く君の
朝の歌声遠からず
何ものも無い 土を割る
雑草の芽の 鮮やかに
散歩決め込む 飼い犬は
尾を振りせがみ 吠え止まず
さあれ見果てぬ 夢覚めず
僕が意気込む 試みの
先の儚さ 見透かして
君は手仕事 止めもせず

徒らに時走る 戯らに人笑う
神たなごころの 遊園地

然したることも無いままに

Wandering Around and Fooling Around

Without doing anything meaningful,
We crossed paths with you,
A man and a woman, a dog and a cat,
Ultimately, the distance never shortened.
In my desire for a dream, as a man,
I have relationships with women,
But I only stay long enough to be a traveler
My soul is not yet ready to die.
In my skill, as a woman,
I have relationships with men,
But I only stay long enough to be a charmer
My soul is not yet ready to be killed.

We wander around and fool around, and laugh at people.
It's a playground for the gods.

In that sad, meaningless time,
In a field of cosmos dreams,
I fly them in the midday sky
And can't let go of the trivial things in front of me.

In my desire for a dream, I gather people
For friendly chats and laughter, or
Singing out loud as the night grows late,
Without hurting anyone.
In creating a festival, I gather people
With reason and logic, with decoration,
And in the midst of the applause, I realize
My lover is far away, and I can't see them.

We wander around and fool around, and laugh at people.
It's a playground for the gods.

Even though nothing meaningful happens,
If I sleep through the sleepless nights,
The sound of you grinding coffee beans
Is not far away in the morning.
In the soil where nothing grows,
The buds of weeds are so vivid.
The dog I walk every day
Wags its tail and barks and won't stop.
My dreams are not over yet,
And as I try, you
See the futility of my efforts
And continue your work without stopping.

We wander around and fool around, and laugh at people.
It's a playground for the gods.

Without doing anything meaningful,
