銀河鉄道 - BUMP OF CHICKEN перевод на английский

銀河鉄道

電車の窓はガタガタ鳴く 生きた街を遠ざける
見送る人も居なかった僕の 生きた街を遠ざける

知っている景色と 知らない景色が
僕を騙すように いつの間にか 入れ替わる

僕の体は止まったままで 時速200キロを越えている
考える程に 可笑しな話だ 僕は止まったままなのに

こんなに可笑しな事 黙っちゃいられない
そう思って間もなく ひとりだったって 思い出す

誰もがそれぞれの 切符を買ってきたのだろう
今までの物語を 鞄に詰めてきたのだろう

リボン付きのクマが転がって来る 迷ったけど拾ってやる
同時に女の子が駆け寄って来る 僕を見て怖じ気付く

後悔した僕からクマを奪うと 礼も言わず逃げていく
もういいや 寝ようかな シートを倒す 後ろから舌打ちが聴こえる

聞こえない振りをして 保たれかかって
目を閉じてみたけど 気になるから 眠れない

あぁ 誰もがそれぞれの 切符を買ってきたのだろう
荷物の置き場所を 必死で守ってきたのだろう

人は年を取る度 終わりに近付いていく
動いていない様に見えても 確かに進んでいる

自転車を漕いで手を振る人 見送りたい人が居るのだろう
相手を想うならやめてやれよ ちょっと恥ずかし過ぎるだろう

僕の体は止まったままで あの自転車を遠ざける
本当はとても羨ましかった 僕は止まったままだから

役には立てないし 邪魔はしちゃうし
目を閉じてみたけど 辛くなるから 目を開けた

真っ赤なキャンディーが差し出されている 驚いたけど貰ってみる
笑った女の子が席に戻る 誰にも知られず僕が泣く

電車の窓はガタガタ鳴く 生きる街を近付ける
出迎える人も居ないであろう僕の 生きる街を近付ける

誰もが それぞれの 切符を買ってきたのだろう
今までの物語を 鞄に詰めてきたのだろう
荷物の置き場所を 必死で守ってきたのだろう
これからの物語を 夢に見てきたのだろう

人は年を取る度 始まりから離れていく
動いていないように思えていた 僕だって進んでいる

The Galaxy Express 999

The train's window rattles and groans, carrying me away from the lively city.
There was no one to see me off as my train carried me away from the lively city.

Familiar and unfamiliar sights
deceitfully swap places while I'm lost in thought.

My body remains motionless, yet I'm hurtling through space at over 200 kilometers per hour.
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems that I'm standing still, even though

such an absurd situation is impossible to keep quiet about.
And before long, I remembered that I was all alone, too.

Each of us must have bought our own tickets,
packing our suitcases with the stories of our past lives.

A ribboned teddy bear comes tumbling down the aisle. Though I hesitated, I picked it up.
The girl who had dropped it ran over and looked at me with fear in her eyes.

With regret, I handed her back the bear. Without a word of thanks, she ran away.
Oh well, I might as well try to sleep. I reclined my seat, but could hear the sound of someone clucking their tongue behind me.

I pretended not to hear and leaned against them for support.
I closed my eyes, but curiosity got the better of me and I couldn't fall asleep.

Oh, each of us must have bought our own tickets,
desperately trying to secure a place for our luggage.

As people age, they approach their end.
Even if it seems like they're not moving, they're definitely making progress.

A man waving from a bicycle. I wonder if there's someone he doesn't want to say goodbye to.
If you care about the other person, let them go. It's a little embarrassing.

My body remains motionless, carrying me away from that bicycle.
The truth is, I was very envious because I was stuck in one place.

I'm useless and I get in the way,
I closed my eyes, but the pain was too much, so I opened them again.

A bright red candy is offered to me. I hesitated for a moment, but I took it.
The girl who gave it to me smiled and went back to her seat. I cried, unseen by anyone.

The train's window rattles and groans, carrying me towards the city of life.
There will be no one to greet me as my train carries me towards the city of life.

Each of us must have bought our own tickets,
packing our suitcases with the stories of our past lives.
desperately trying to secure a place for our luggage.
dreaming of the stories that lie ahead.

As people age, they move further away from their beginnings.
Even I, who thought I wasn't moving, am making progress.
