Paroles et traduction 鈴村健一 - つながり

つながり

薄明かりが照らす 夜更けの部屋でただ一人
誰がやっても同じ仕事 黙々と眠い目こすりこなす

遠い街の光 誰かが灯してる光
なにをしてるのかな？
笑って 怒って 泣いて そっと祈ってる

無意味に見える この日々だって
いつか輝き出すって

「なんのために生きていくのか」
その謎に振り回され 僕らはもがいてる
でもずっとあきらめはせず 目の前の小さな出来ること紡いでく
きっとそれが顔も知らない誰かの幸せへとつながると
そう信じて

ふと見上げた空に 白い飛行機雲 伸びて
どんな国へ向かうのかな ぼんやりといつもの電車で見てた

なぜだろう突然 僕の心にうずく
例えようもない痛み 人混みの中でも孤独で

広がる世界 ちっぽけな僕
誰か気付いてもらいたくって

僕はまた「生きてる証」を示すのに
目に見えるものにこだわってしまう
名も知らぬ人の想い ここに暮らす人々の夢につながっていく
その一人が僕であれば それを誇りに生きていけばいいさ
ひっそりと でも強く

「なんのために生きていくのか」
その謎に振り回され 僕らはもがいてる
でもずっとあきらめはせず 目の前の小さな出来ること紡いでく
世界中の幸せへと 届くように

僕らは今日もつながってる 哀しみも 喜びも
みんなつながってる
もし疲れてしまっても いつか出会う誰かが誰かを支えてる
そう想えば寂しくない
雨の日 風の日も 自分らしくいればいいんだよ
それでいいんだよ

Connection

In the twilight that illuminates the room late at night, I'm all alone
Doing the same work as everyone else, silently rubbing my sleepy eyes

The lights of a distant city, someone is lighting them
I wonder what they're doing?
Laughing, getting angry, crying, and praying softly

Even these days that seem meaningless
I believe will someday shine

“What is the meaning of living?”
We wrestle with these riddles and suffer
But we never give up; we keep doing the little things we can do right in front of us
Because we believe that it will somehow connect to the happiness of someone we don't even know
We believe in this

Suddenly looking up at the sky, a white contrail stretches out
I wonder what country it's headed to, I thought to myself as I watched from my usual train

Why, all of a sudden, does my heart ache?
An indescribable pain, even in a crowd, I'm lonely

The world is so big, and I'm so small
I just want someone to notice me

To prove that “I'm alive,” I
Keep getting caught up in things I can see
The thoughts of people I don't know, and the dreams of people living here, become connected
If I can be one of them, I can live proudly with that
Quietly, but strongly

“What is the meaning of living?”
We wrestle with these riddles and suffer
But we never give up; we keep doing the little things we can do right in front of us
So that we can reach happiness all over the world

Today, we are all connected; our sorrows and our joys
We're all connected
Even if you get tired, someday someone you meet will support someone else
If you think about it this way, you won't feel lonely
No matter the weather, you can still be yourself
That's enough
