Текст и перевод песни Asako Toki feat. Motohiro Hata - やわらかい気配

やわらかい気配

確かなものなど どこにもないと嘆いた
あの頃 本当は ずっと何を探してたんだろう

少しゆっくり話すくせが
愛しくって まだ うつったまま

夏の雨と 秋の影と 冬のサイレン 春に舞うビル風を
胸のなかの
きみのやわらかい気配
抱きしめて歩いた
忘れたくないと泣いた

黙ってそれきり 出てゆくきみを見ていた
あの頃 本当は この弱さがただ もどかしくて

きみの答えになれなかった
僕を残して夜が明ける

線路のさび 工場の壁 小さな歩道橋へとつづく道
胸の奥の
きみのやわらかい気配
ありふれた景色も
物語にしてくれた

つないだ指 負けず嫌い
シャツの匂い
笑う一瞬の美しさ
いまも残る
このやわらかい気配
きみが生きたすべては
確かな永遠だった

あのとききみは 本当は何を
幸せと感じていたの 分からない
さよなら
でも
このやわらかい気配
まだここで生きてる
確かな悲しみ抱いて

Gentle Touch

I lamented that there was nothing certain
Back then, what was it that I was really looking for?

Your habit of speaking a little slowly,
I cherished it, and it still lingers.

The summer rain, the autumn shadows, the winter sirens, the spring breeze billowing through buildings,
Inside my heart,
Your gentle touch,
I embraced you and walked on.
I cried out that I never wanted to forget it.

I watched in silence as you calmly made your exit.
Back then, it was really only this weakness that frustrated me.

I couldn't give you the answer you needed,
And so you left me as night turned into day.

The rusty train tracks, the factory walls, the small footbridge and the road that led to it
Deep in my heart,
Your gentle touch,
Even the most ordinary of sights,
You turned them into a story.

Our intertwined fingers, our competitive spirits,
The scent of your shirt,
The fleeting beauty of your smile
Still linger with me,
This gentle touch.
Everything you lived for
Was a true eternity.

Back then, what did you really,
Consider happiness? I don't know.
Goodbye,
But
This gentle touch
Still lives on within me,
Carrying with it a deep and abiding sadness.
