Текст и перевод песни ケイコ・リー - Stand By Me

Stand By Me

「真夜中の匂いを嗅ぎに行こう」って
地元からツレと乗った終電
カッコ悪い大人になりたくねぇ

自分のこの目で確かめてみてぇ
今夜のチョイスは間違いねぇって
「見に行くどころか魅せに行こうぜ」
イかれた世界観って覚悟の上
知らなきゃ良いも悪いも分かんねぇ
鑑別所や裁判や事件
口うるさい大人達や先生
地元のしがらみとかうんざりで
クラブでHIPHOPが聴きたいだけ
全身に香水を振りかけ
「ナメられないようクールにいこうぜ」
草なら持ってる俺に任せとけ
何かが弾け飛び散ったSaturday

溜まり場照らす自販機の灯り
ラジカセの音響くStreet
明日が良い日になるように
トラブルと向き合う日々
答えが出るまで握った拳
語り合った未来夜通し
近づいてるつもりのTeen
憧れの自由に

少年課の取調室で
「仲間の名前を全部言え」って
笑っちまったら怒鳴られたっけ
親父とお袋が教えてくれたぜ
「友達だったら庇ってやれって
大人にちんころするのはダセェって
やられちまってもやり返せって
何度転んでも起き上がれって」

夜になっても溜まり場には
必ずそこには誰かいた
呼び出し知らせるポケベルの音がその日も鳴っていた
来る日も来る日もあれしてもこれしても物足りねぇよまだ
根拠のない自信から嘘偽りない物語が始まった

溜まり場照らす自販機の灯り
ラジカセの音響くStreet
明日が良い日になるように
トラブルと向き合う日々
答えが出るまで握った拳
語り合った未来、夜通し
近づいてるつもりのTeen
憧れの自由に

誰かが盗んできた原チャリに跨り走り出す
いざという時に頼れる奴らは数限られた奴
挫けたことも 何度もある それでも覆す
ラッパーだったら口だけのカスじゃないと誓い自分と向き合ってる
誰かが盗んできた原チャリに跨り走り出す
いざという時に頼れる奴らは数限られた奴
くだらねぇ言葉、字数を並べるよりまずラッパーの自覚を持ってマイク握る
ラッパーになってマイク握る

今日 明日 その先 僕はこのまま変わらない
近づいてる確実に Don't Stop ブリブリ

溜まり場照らす自販機の灯り
ラジカセの音響くStreet
明日が良い日になるように
トラブルと向き合う日々
答えが出るまで握った拳
語り合った未来、夜通し
近づいてるつもりのTeen
憧れの自由に

Stand By Me

“Baby, let's go smell the midnight breeze”
You and your boyfriend rode the last train out of town
You didn't want to grow up to be a square

You wanted to see it for yourself
You knew tonight's choice was right
“Let's not just go see it, let's show them what we've got”
You were ready for the crazy world
If you didn't know, you couldn't tell right from wrong
Detention, court, and trouble
Nagging parents and teachers
The drama of small-town life made you sick
All you wanted to do was listen to hip-hop at a club
You sprayed yourself with perfume
“Let's act cool so they don't mess with us”
“I got the weed, don't worry about it”
Something exploded and scattered on Saturday

The lights of the vending machine lit up the hangout
The boombox played music in the street
Hoping tomorrow would be a better day
Facing trouble every day
Holding on to your dreams until you found the answer
Talking about the future all night long
Teenagers pretending to be grown
Yearning to be free

In the interrogation room of the juvenile detention center
“Tell me the names of all your friends”
You laughed and they yelled at you
Your parents taught you
“If they're your friends, protect them
It's uncool to snitch on your friends”
“If they hurt you, hurt them back”
“No matter how many times you fall, get back up”

Even at night, there was always someone
Someone was always there at the hangout
That day, the pager went off, signaling you to come
Every day, you weren't satisfied no matter what you did
Your baseless confidence sparked a story that was true to your heart

The lights of the vending machine lit up the hangout
The boombox played music in the street
Hoping tomorrow would be a better day
Facing trouble every day
Holding on to your dreams until you found the answer
Talking about the future, all night long
Teenagers pretending to be grown
Yearning to be free

You got on the stolen moped and took off
When the time came, you could count on a few people
You've been let down before, but you always bounced back
You vowed that if you were a rapper, you wouldn't be a fake, and you'd face your problems
You got on the stolen moped and took off
When the time came, you could count on a few people
Instead of spouting empty words, you'd hold the mic like a true rapper
You'd hold the mic like a rapper

Today, tomorrow, and forever, I'll stay the same
I'm getting closer, for sure, don't stop

The lights of the vending machine lit up the hangout
The boombox played music in the street
Hoping tomorrow would be a better day
Facing trouble every day
Holding on to your dreams until you found the answer
Talking about the future, all night long
Teenagers pretending to be grown
Yearning to be free
