Paroles et traduction Akihisa Kondo - 無表情

無表情

"悲しくはない"から"笑う"の?
"嬉しくはない"から"泣く"の?
"どちらでもない表情"を
「無」と呼んだのは誰なの?
二択に迫られるのなら 「とりあえず」と笑ってみるよ
時が経てば経つほどに 泣きたくなるのは何でなの?
"笑い続ける悲しさ"と"泣き続ける嬉しさ"が
存在しちゃった難問を「無」という答えで解いたの?
笑う事もできない 泣く事もできない
何よりも悲しい そんな事はわかってるよ
泣きそうなほど「悲しいけど」 泣かないよって強がるよ
その小さな抵抗力が きっと僕には「嬉しいんだ」
両極端に目を奪われ 「心配ない」と思い込まれ
この不安や苛立を 無かったことにしておくよ
笑うとか、泣くとか、忙しすぎて 何だか疲れてしまったので
しばらくお休みを頂きたい。
逃げるのではなく戦っているのです。
葛藤も自問自答も足掻きも存在を証明のリハ?
こう見えてもどう見られても 僕は今ここに「有」る
見上げたり見下さずに 左右に振り回されずに
ただそのままの視線を 「前」と呼んだのは誰なの?
"悲しくなった"から"泣く"よ "嬉しくなった"から"笑う"よ
どちらでもない表情さえ
「前」と呼んでみてもいいの?
「前」と呼んでいていたいよ

Expressionless

"It's not that I'm sad" that makes me "laugh"?
"It's not that I'm happy" that makes me "cry"?
"Neither expression"
Who called it "empty"?
If I have to choose one of two "for the time being" I'll laugh
Why is it that as time goes by I feel like crying?
"The sadness of continuing to laugh" and "the joy of continuing to cry"
Did you solve the difficult question that arose with the answer "emptiness"?
I can't laugh or cry
Sadder than anything, I understand that
Even though I feel like crying, "I'm sad, but" I pretend to be strong and say I won't cry
That small resistance is surely "joyful" to me
Captivated by extremes "Don't worry" they say
I'll just pretend that this anxiety and irritation don't exist
Because I'm too busy laughing and crying, I'm getting tired
I'd like to take a break for a while.
I'm not running away, I'm fighting.
Is conflict, self-questioning and struggle a rehearsal for proving my existence?
It may not seem like it, but however I'm seen I "exist" here and now
Without looking up or down, without being swayed from side to side
Who called just looking straight ahead "forward"?
"If I feel sad" I'll "cry" "If I feel happy" I'll "laugh"
Even an expression that's neither
Can I also call it "forward"?
I want to call it "forward" and keep looking
