Текст и перевод песни Aki Yashiro - すずめの涙

すずめの涙

世の中であんたが一番
好きだったけれど
追いかけてすがりつき
泣いてもみじめになるだけ
幸福を窓に閉じこめて
飼いならしてみても
悲しみが胸のすきまから
忍び込んでくる
たかが人生 なりゆきまかせ
男なんかは 星の数ほど
泥んこになるまえに きれいにあばよ
好きでいるうちに 許してあばよ
もし今度生まれてくるなら
孔雀よりすずめ
口紅も香水もつけないで
誰かと暮らすわ
色づいた夢を見るよりも
ささやかでもいいの
あたしだけ飛べる青空を
持ってる人ならば
たかが人生 きれいなときは
花よりもっと 短いはずね
酔いどれになるまえに 背中にあばよ
好きでいるうちに 許してあばよ
たかが人生 なりゆきまかせ
男なんかは 星の数ほど
泥んこになるまえに きれいにあばよ
好きでいるうちに 許してあばよ
許してあばよ

Tears of a Sparrow

You were my favorite person in the world,
but I loved you too much.
Chasing after you, clinging to you,
only made me look pathetic.
I tried to lock happiness away,
to tame it,
but sadness crept in through the cracks,
in my heart.
Life's just a game of chance,
there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Before I get dragged down, I'm going to say goodbye.
I'm going to forgive you, while I still love you.
If I'm ever reborn,
I'll be a sparrow, not a peacock.
I won't wear lipstick or perfume,
I'll just live with someone.
Instead of dreaming big dreams,
I'll be content with something small.
I just want to fly in my own sky,
with someone who can share it with me.
Life's too short to be beautiful all the time,
like a flower.
Before I become a drunk, I'm going to turn my back on you.
I'm going to forgive you, while I still love you.
Life's just a game of chance,
there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Before I get dragged down, I'm going to say goodbye.
I'm going to forgive you, while I still love you.
Forgive me.
