Текст и перевод песни Sheena Ringo - 歌舞伎町の女王

歌舞伎町の女王

蝉の声を聞く度に 目に浮かぶ九十九里浜
皺々の祖母の手を離れ 独りで訪れた歓楽街
ママは此処の女王様 生き写しの様なあたし
誰しもが手を伸べて 子供ながらに魅せられた歓楽街
十五に成ったあたしを 置いて女王は消えた
毎週金曜日に来ていた 男と暮らすのだろう

「一度栄えし者でも 必ずや衰えゆく」
その意味を知る時を迎え 足を踏み入れたは歓楽街
消えて行った女を憎めど夏は今
女王と云う肩書きを 誇らしげに掲げる
女に成ったあたしが 売るのは自分だけで
同情を欲したときに 全てを失うだろう
JR新宿駅の東口を出たら
其処はあたしの庭 大遊戯場歌舞伎町 oh
今夜からは此の町で 娘のあたしが女王

Queen of Kabukicho

When I hear the cicadas singing, I'm taken back to the Ninety-Nine Mile Beach
I left my grandmother's wrinkled hand and visited the entertainment district alone
My mother is the queen here, I look just like her
Everyone reached out to me, I was fascinated by the entertainment district even as a child
The queen left me when I was fifteen
She must be living with the man she used to come here with every Friday

“Even those who once flourished will surely decline”
The time came for me to understand the meaning of those words, and I stepped into the entertainment district
I hate the woman who disappeared, but summer is here now
I proudly bear the title of queen
As a woman, I only sell myself
If I seek sympathy, I will lose everything
When you exit the east exit of JR Shinjuku Station
That is my territory, the great playground of Kabukicho oh
From tonight on, I will be the queen of this town, my adorable daughter
