Текст и перевод песни 茅原実里 - 金魚

金魚

一匹も すくえなかったね
ほんとうに要領が悪いんだから
浮いてきたところ すくわなきゃ
ほらシャツの袖が水びたし

きらりひらりきらりひらり
人生が身をかわす
きらりひらり
幸せが逃げる

でも嬉しいみたい
すくえなかったことが
どうせ飼えないものね
旅暮らし
一匹も すくえなかったね
ほんとうに要領が悪いんだから
浮いてきたところ すくわなきゃ
ほらシャツの袖が水びたし

きらりひらりきらりひらり
人生が身をかわす
きらりひらり
幸せが逃げる

でも嬉しいみたい
すくえなかったことが
どうせ飼えないものね
旅暮らし

Goldfish

I couldn't even catch one
You are so slow.
You have to scoop them up when they come to the surface.
Look, the sleeves of your shirt are all wet.

Flittering and sparkling, flittering and sparkling,
life evades me.
Flittering and sparkling,
happiness eludes me.

But I'm glad
that I couldn't catch any.
I couldn't have kept them anyway.
I'm a wanderer.
I couldn't even catch one
You are so slow.
You have to scoop them up when they come to the surface.
Look, the sleeves of your shirt are all wet.

Flittering and sparkling, flittering and sparkling,
life evades me.
Flittering and sparkling,
happiness eludes me.

But I'm glad
that I couldn't catch any.
I couldn't have kept them anyway.
I'm a wanderer.
