Paroles et traduction Keisuke Kuwata - 古の風吹く杜

古の風吹く杜

古都を見下ろして長谷へと下る
旅路切通しよ
そこに行き交う
"今生きる"も"今は亡き"人も

遥かな時代を夢見て越えて
訪れる砦

あてなく彷徨う想いが
私をこの地へ誘う
古の風吹く杜へ
黄昏時は切なさに
光と影とが寄り添う
そんな街とは
時間が止まった浪漫の舞台

波寄せるは由比の浜辺に
遠く蝉しぐれ
瞳を閉じれば 君よ恋しや
また逢える日まで

夕日を浴びた電車の窓に
江ノ島が見える

ざわめく木立ちに隠れた
不思議な気配に戸惑う
この街に降り立つ日から
古刹の鐘鳴る谷戸から
海へと続く小路を
"人"は素通りで
"魔性"が跋扈するのを
君は見るだろうか？

あてなく彷徨う想いが
帰らぬ人をも誘う
古の風吹く杜へ
祭りのあとの切なさに
光と影とが寄り添う
そんな街とは
矢羽放った戦の舞台

Ancient Wind Blowing Woods

Overlooking the ancient capital, descending to Hase
A journey through the cutting pass, my love,
Where they come and go,
Both the living and the departed now.

Dreaming of distant eras, passing through them,
We arrive at the fortress.

A wandering, aimless longing
Has led me to this place,
To the woods where the ancient wind blows.
In the twilight's sadness,
Light and shadow embrace,
In this town, my dear,
A stage of romance where time stands still.

Waves wash upon Yuigahama beach,
Distant cicadas sing their late summer song.
Closing my eyes, I long for you, my love,
Until the day we meet again.

In the window of the train bathed in the setting sun,
Enoshima comes into view.

Hidden within the rustling trees,
I'm bewildered by a mysterious presence.
From the day I arrived in this town,
From the valley where the ancient temple bell rings,
Along the path leading to the sea,
People pass by unknowingly,
While demonic forces run rampant.
Do you see it, my love?

A wandering, aimless longing
Beckons even the departed
To the woods where the ancient wind blows.
In the sadness after the festival,
Light and shadow embrace,
In this town, my dear,
A battlefield where arrows once flew.
