Текст и перевод песни Junichi Inagaki - 悲しみは優し過ぎて

悲しみは優し過ぎて

夕映えの中を家路に急ぐ
少年たちの声を聴いていた
自転車を止めた橋の真下を
曳き波たてて舟が過ぎてゆく...

僕たちが決めたさよならは
間違っていなかったの

※いつも君を苦しめてたのは
僕の弱さだったこと
知らずにいたよ
君はいつでも優し過ぎて※

君といる頃は気づかなかった
街の景色が僕を孤独にする
君を憎んだら忘れられるの?
君の笑顔や君の泣き顔を

平凡な日々が過ぎてくと
哀しみは深くなるね...

もしも 次にめぐり逢う人が
もしも ねえ君だったらよかったのにね
きっと 優しくできたはずさ

(※くり返し)

Sadness is Too Kind

On my way home through the fading twilight
I listened to the voices of the boys
I stopped my bicycle on the bridge
And watched the wake of a passing boat...

The goodbye that we agreed on
Wasn't a mistake

※It was always my weakness
That caused you pain
I didn't realize it
You were always too kind※

When I was with you, I didn't notice
How the city's scenery made me lonely
If I hated you, could I forget you?
Your smiling face and your tears

As the ordinary days pass
My sadness deepens...

If the next person I meet
If, darling, it were you
I'm sure I could be gentle with you

(※Repeat)
