Paroles et traduction 高山厳 - 夕挽歌

夕挽歌

夕暮れの買物が好き 店に灯りを吊るす頃
客を呼ぶ言葉の荒さ そうね心は温かい...
日一日 惜しくなる 手放した 年と月
線路沿いに行き違う 見知らぬ顔も懐かしい...
もうどこにも行かないわ この夕陽と生きて行く
父も 母も かくれんぼ
隣を歩く人 今はないけど

自転車が追い越して行く 何を急いだ私なの
穏やかなお寺の鐘に 生きる歩幅を思い出す...
幸せは 住んでいた 昔から この路地に
誰が折った露草の 一途な青が目に沁みる...
もう明日を捨てないわ この夕陽がある限り
やっと 上がる 遮断機に
駆け出す子供たち ここはふるさと

もうどこにも行かないわ この夕陽と生きて行く
若い 父と 若い母
背中で教わった 歌を支えに

Evening Elegy

I love shopping at dusk when the shops light their lamps
The rough words soliciting customers, you see, hide a kind heart...
Day after day, I regret having let go of those years and months
On the path alongside the railway, even unfamiliar faces seem nostalgic...
I'll go nowhere anymore; I'll live with this sunset
Father and Mother are also playing hide-and-seek
The person walking beside me, though they're no longer here

A bicycle passes me by; where was I rushing to?
In the soothing sound of the temple bell, I remember the rhythm of life...
Happiness was living here, in this alley from time immemorial
The single-minded blue of these dewdrop flowers you carelessly picked stings my eyes...
I'll no longer waste my tomorrows; as long as this sunset stays
The railroad crossing gates are finally going up
The children are running; this is my hometown

I'll go nowhere anymore; I'll live with this sunset
My young father and my young mother
The song you taught me by example will support me
