Текст песни и перевод на английский roco - かえるの合唱

かえるの合唱

生ぬるい夜の水辺を
ゆっくりとなぞる とろけた月明かり
神様の声におびえて

深い井戸の底 丸い宇宙見上げ歌う
一匹のかえる

誰も聴いちゃ いないけれど
草木の呼吸に メロディ這わせて

けろけろけろけろ
楽しそうにかえるは歌う
縛られず誰にも邪魔されず
好きな歌を歌う

「素敵な歌声をもっと聴かせて。」
暗い井戸の底 灯りを運ぶ蛍

初めて差しのべられた 期待の声に
少しおどけて 真っ赤なベロを垂らす

君が聴いてくれるのなら
しっぽの光に BPMを合わせて

けろけろけろけろ
嬉しそうにかえるは歌う
ゆらゆら舞う蛍のダンスに
見惚れながら歌う

やがて 井戸から灯る光につられ
色んなかえるたちが集りだし
あたたかい声とつめたい声の
思惑の粒が投げ込まれ
水辺を波だたせてゆく

けろけろけろけろ
孤独だったかえるのうたが
気づけば賑やかな輪となって
星空を震わす

けろけろけろけろ
悩みながら かえるは歌う
ほんとの気持ちを隠したまま
なるべく好きな歌を歌う

そして月日は経ち
穴底の歌声は消えうせ
やがてまた 別の穴底から
新たなかえるの歌声が

Frog's Chorus (かえるの合唱)

Under the tepid moonlight, I slowly trace
The water's edge on a lukewarm night
Terrified by the voice of God

I gaze up at the round universe at the bottom of a deep well and sing
A single frog

No one is listening
I weave a melody into the breath of the plants and trees

Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit
The frog sings merrily
Bound by nothing, bothered by no one
Singing any song it wishes

“Let me hear more of that beautiful voice.”
A firefly carrying light at the bottom of a dark well

For the first time, a voice of anticipation reaches out to me,
And I playfully hang my bright red tongue out of my mouth.

If you will listen to me,
I will match the beat of my tail's light.

Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit
The frog sings in delight
Singing while gazing in wonder at the swaying dance of the firefly
Singing while lost in admiration

Then, lured by the light shining from the well,
Many frogs gather together.
Their voices, warm and cool,
Are like grains of longing, cast out
Making ripples across the water's surface.

Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit
The lonely frog's song
Has transformed into a lively chorus
Making the starry sky tremble

Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit
The frog sings while pondering
Hiding its true feelings.
It sings the songs it loves the most.

And so time passes
The song from the bottom of the well fades away,
Until one day, from a different well,
A new frog's song is heard.
