Paroles et traduction 林原めぐみ - あの頃

あの頃

とてもとても久しぶりに
この駅に降り立ってみた
あの頃よく通っていた
あの店にちょっと立ち寄ってみよう

特別おいしいわけでもなく
せまい店だけど
なぜかいつもみんな集まってた
バカみたいに飲んでた

あの時の僕は
日焼けして部活に励んでた
今はスーツにネクタイ
マスター覚えてるかな

今時流行らない昔ながらの
蝶ネクタイ
無口にふるえた手で
あれこれ ゆっくりつくってた

はやる心押さえながら
あの頃の僕が重なる
5年ぶりにドアを開けると
この店はちょっと様変わりしてた

若い夫婦がやけに明るく
僕を出迎える
まるで違う空気にのまれて
立ちすくんでしまった

察した二人が
淋しげに微笑み会釈する
僕はネクタイゆるめて
店の面影を探す

時が過ぎるってこういうことかな
何も言えずに
ここに来たくなった理由(わけ)
あれこれ ゆっくり考える

今時流行らない昔ながらの
蝶ネクタイ
無口にふるえた手から
あれこれ ゆっくり教わってた

Those Days

It's been a long, long time
Since I've been back to this station
That I used to pass through all the time
Let's stop by that shop for a bit

It's not particularly tasty
And it's a small shop
But for some reason, everyone would always gather there
We'd drink like we were crazy

Back then
I was always tanned and doing club activities
Now it's suits and ties
I wonder if the master remembers me

He wears an old-fashioned bow tie
That isn't popular these days
With hands that tremble without saying a word
He'd slowly make this and that

Trying to keep my beating heart at bay
My younger self appears in my mind
Pushing open the door for the first time in five years
This shop had changed a bit

An energetic young couple
Warmly welcomes me
Swept away by the completely different atmosphere
I froze in my steps

The two of them noticed
And gave me a sad smile as they greeted me
I loosened my tie
And looked for traces of the old shop

I guess this is what it means for time to pass
Unable to say anything
I slowly think about the reason I came here
This and that

He wears an old-fashioned bow tie
That isn't popular these days
From his trembling hands
I slowly learned this and that
