Текст и перевод песни Sheena Ringo - 名うての泥棒猫

名うての泥棒猫

泥棒猫呼ばわりか
人聞きの悪い事を
云うじゃあないか
箆棒(べらぼう)め言い掛りよ
あのひとは春猫さ
甘え上手

勝手に舞い込んで来たものを
不意に返せだなんて
陽炎や蜃気楼(かいやぐら)の様に
追えば のがすもの

泥棒猫呼ばわりも
この頃は好(い)い加減
馴れちまいんした
一通り言い掛りよ
あたしなら秋猫さ
寒がり屋

勝手に擦り寄って来たものは
無理に追返せないわ
不知火(しらぬい)や宵月に同じ
何時も さむいもの

「全てを手に入れる女」
と、云われちゃあ
流石に白々しくなる
なんてったって女と男の縁は
切ったって切れないたぐいか
どう足掻(あが)こうと切れる手合よ

あのひとが隠し事するなら
それが罪業(ざいごう)じゃあないか
なにが不幸か幸せかは
だれもわかりんせん

勝手に立ち去って行くものを
なにも引き留めないわ
連れてって焼いたり煮たり
さあ、お気に召すまま

Notorious Thief Cat

You call me a thief cat
How awful of you to say
Such a mean thing
You're talking nonsense
That man is just a spring cat
He's good at playing cute

He came here on his own
And now you expect me to return him?
Like a mirage or a heat haze
The more you chase after it, the more it fades

Being called a thief cat
Doesn't bother me anymore
I'm used to it
You can say whatever you want
I'm an autumn cat
I get cold easily

He came here on his own
I can't just throw him out
Like a will-o'-the-wisp or the moon at dusk
It's always so cold

'A woman who gets everything she wants'
That's what they say
But it's hard to believe
A man and a woman are like fire and water
You can't put them out, no matter how much you try
They're like a stubborn flame that just won't die

If he's keeping something secret
Then he's the one who's sinful
Nobody knows what true happiness is
We're all just guessing

He can leave whenever he wants
I won't stop him
He can take me with him and do whatever he wants
Go ahead, make your move
