枯葉 - Bill Evans перевод на английский

枯葉

北の街の夕暮れを
あてもないままゆけば
歩くよりも立ち止まる

そのことの方が多い
街はずれの公園
懐かしむように歩く
恋人たち 肩を寄せ合う

逆らうすべもなく
季節は駆け足で過ぎる
君の姿さえ
今は思い出せない
君と別れたあの頃は
ほんのはずみで
想い出はボロボロこぼれて落ちたよ

想い出に生きた日々は
とてもつらいけれど
忘れてしまうことの淋しさは
たとえば秋の
風に誰も気付かぬうちに
はらはら落ちる
枯れ葉にどこか 似ていませんか

いつか違う人と
たとえ愛を誓いあったときも
この道は誰とも
歩かないと決めていた
小さな街のことです
2人だけのあの場所さえ
新しい出逢いの場所として

逆らうすべもなく
季節は駆け足で過ぎる
君の姿さえ 今は思い出せない
想い出がみんな優しいのは
時の流れに運ばれて
静かに消えてゆくからです

Fallen Leaves

In the twilight of the northern town,
I wander without aim,
And find myself stopping more often

Than walking on.
In the park at the edge of town,
I walk as if reminiscing,
Lovers huddle close together.

The seasons rush by,
Unstoppable and swift.
Even your face,
I struggle to recall now.
Back when we parted,
In a fleeting moment,
Memories crumbled and fell away.

Those days I lived in memories,
Though filled with pain,
The loneliness of forgetting them,
Is like the autumn
Wind, unnoticed,
Rustling and scattering
Fallen leaves. Don't you think they're similar?

Even if someday,
I pledge my love to another,
I decided I wouldn't walk this path
With anyone else.
This small town,
Even our special place,
Will remain untouched by new encounters.

The seasons rush by,
Unstoppable and swift.
Even your face, I struggle to recall now.
Memories are all gentle
Because they are carried away
By the flow of time, fading quietly.
