Текст и перевод песни Mika Nakashima - Today

Today

くだらない くだらないって不貞腐れてばっか
投げやりな毎日が 道端で転がってら 鳩も食いつきやしない
今だろう? いや後にしよう そして僕は今に到って
逃げ道もなくなって 後は飛び込むしかなくなった

自分に嘘をついて 理想を捻じ曲げて
手に出来た夢なんてさ 一つもないよ

有限 つまり僕は明日を信じないよ
だって今日が最後だとしたなら 後悔ばかりの人生です
だから僕は今日を投げ打って でかい理想に張って 勝って
笑って死にたいんだ それだけの価値の今日だ

幾つの分かれ道 幾つの決意 くぐり抜けて
ここに流れ着いたんだろう 思い出してみるんだよ
選んだ道の数だけ 覚悟や別れがあったんだ
そしてそれは今も僕の 背中に重く圧し掛かる

忘れちゃいけない 捨てた僕の罪と
そうしてまで 手にしたかった 夢って奴を

有限 つまり僕は過去を信じないよ
だって今日と昨日の境目なんて 実は誰かが決めたもんです
だから生きている限り続く 僕の物語にいつだって
燃え尽きたいな それだけの意味の今日だ

ひたむきに生きる君の今日も 投げやりに生きる僕の今日も
楽しくて名残惜しい今日も 悲しくてやりきれない今日も
夕立ちが去った街の今日も 被弾した戦場の今日も
誰かが生きられなかった今日も 誰かがあんなに望んだ今日も
全部同じ重さで 全部同じ尺度で 今僕らの目の前にあるよ
今僕らは今日を生きてるよ

有限 つまりどんな今日も 限りある一生の一ページ
だとしたなら読み飛ばしてもいい今日はないです
だから僕は描き直すんだ 新しい僕等の第二章
ちぐはぐでも そんなもんだろ僕の一生
それだけのものだよ

Today

Puttering around, complaining everything's futile,
My listless days are just rolling around in the gutter, not even the pigeons will peck at it.
I keep thinking, I'll do it now, but then I say I'll do it later, and now here I am,
With no way out, only the plunge left to take.

I've been lying to myself, distorting my ideals,
And all I've got to show for it is a fistful of nothing.

Finite, that's me, I don't believe in tomorrow.
Because if today were my last, then my life would be one big regret.
So I'll cast my lot today, I'll aim high, I'll win,
And I'll die with a smile on my face. Today's worth that much.

How many crossroads, how many decisions have I passed through,
To end up here, washed ashore? Let me think back.
For every path I chose, there were sacrifices and goodbyes.
And they still weigh heavy on my back.

I mustn't forget the sins I've forsaken,
And the dream I yearned for so much.

Finite, that's me, I don't believe in the past.
Because the line between today and yesterday is just something someone decided.
So as long as I'm alive, my story will continue, and I'll always want,
To burn bright. Today's got that much meaning.

The day you live so earnestly, the day I live so recklessly,
The day that's so joyful and precious, the day that's so sad and unbearable,
The day after the storm, the day on the war-torn battlefield,
The day someone couldn't live, the day someone wished for so much,
They all have the same weight, they're all measured by the same scale, and right now they're all in front of us.
Right now, we're living today.

Finite, that's me, so every day is a page in a finite life.
If that's the case, there's no day that I can afford to skip.
So I'll start over, I'll write a new chapter for us.
It might be mismatched, but that's just my life.
That's all it is.
