Paroles et traduction 小椋佳 - 道草

道草

まっすぐに張った糸が あの日僕は好きだった
岩に似て 強いものが あの日僕にあるように
恋さえも人の弱さ 許せないごまかしなんだと
肩はって人を責めても 実りない日々のからまわり
じっと目を閉じ 今 じっと目を閉じ
心の中で琥珀にかすむ思い出たどれば
浮かんでくるのは 不思議と道草
数々の寄り道 まわり道

真実を背負うことが あの日僕は好きだった
この世には他に意味が あの日僕に無いように
どんなにか闇を行こうと 果てない深さの極みに
あこがれを守り袋に はりつめた日々のからまわり
じっと目を閉じ 今 じっと目を閉じ
あの気まぐれとそのたわむれと またあやまちさえ
許しも乞わずに 手を振る道草
数々の寄り道 まわり道

Path of the Stray

The straight line I drew that day, it was something I cherished
Like a rock, unyielding, it was something I imagined I had
Even love, a human weakness, I condemned as an unacceptable deception
Stiff-necked, I carried on accusing others, in an empty struggle that led nowhere
Close your eyes now, close your eyes now
If you trace within your heart the memories that grow hazy, like amber
What emerges, surprisingly, is the path of the stray
The many detours and roundabouts

Bearing the truth, that was something I valued that day
As if there could be no other purpose in life for me
No matter how deeply I walked into darkness, to the endless depths of despair
I clung to my aspirations, in an empty struggle that led nowhere
Close your eyes now, close your eyes now
Those whims and fancies, even those mistakes
I bid them farewell, without asking for forgiveness, on the path of the stray
The many detours and roundabouts
