Текст и перевод песни ケツメイシ - 願い

願い

Refrain:
暗い世界 暗い時代の果て
笑い合い 笑いたいのに なぜ
涙を流すの 声を殺すの
人の上に人はいないのに なぜ

争い事 絶えない世の中
また歴史は同じ道をたどる愚かさ
罪のない子供 力ない者から
消されて行く その優しい心が
その銃の重さ知らないが 命の重さぐらい伝えたい
ばらまかれた欲望のかたまりとの戦い
まだ終わらない 止まらない
誰のため 何のため 兵士さえ戦う意味も知らず
人々のため 国のためなら なぜまた黒い雨を降らす
神さえ止められない 祈りさえ届かない
持たざる者が 泣くしかない
また いつ笑い合えるのか?
この歌 心に響くのか?

暗い世界 暗い時代の果て
笑い合い 笑いたいのになぜ
涙を流すの 声を殺すの
人の上に人はいないのに

また世界のどこかで 起こる様は世の果て
メディア 電波 ニュース ネット
乗って届く ここまで
守る者があって 頼る物があって
皆 同じ様にこの星に生まれ立って 何で?
容赦ない 鉛玉が子供達に降り注ぐ
望まない ミサイルをまたミサイルで 撃ち落す
その影で 誰かまた でかい兵器売り飛ばす
その理由 もう一度考えろ 罪と罰
過ちも薄れる 戦いを続ける
思いやりに愛を 足さないと崩れる
鳴り響く銃声の中に生きる執念は
お互い様ならば もう止めにしないか?
憎しみや怒りからは もはや何も生まれない
浮かれたい ただ笑い声のでかさ比べたい
繰り返す人はまた 同じことがどこかで
届かね 俺の声は もう もはやそこまで

Refrain

朝昼晩 いつ点けてもテレビから流れる暗いニュース
目を背けずに見るが 瞑りたくなる目
塞ぎたくなる耳を手の平で
僕らに何が出来るかも分からず 歌い続ける
この声の先は遥か彼方に いやまずは傍にいる君の元に
届いたなら まずは君一人
でも変わってく この先のヒストリー
人 一人の命の重み 感じて変わって行こう人類
笑顔で 暮らす事の意味
笑顔を奪い去る 事の罪
いつまでも止まらぬ 権力主義
なくすため日々 託す僕らの思いを

Refrain

Wish

Refrain:
At the edge of this dark world, this dark age,
Why do we shed tears and silence our laughter,
When we long to laugh and share joy?
Why do we place one person above another?

In this world where conflict never ceases,
History foolishly repeats its course.
Innocent children, the powerless,
Their gentle hearts are extinguished first.
I may not know the weight of a gun, but I want to convey the weight of a life.
This battle against scattered desires,
It doesn't end, it doesn't stop.
Even soldiers don't know why they fight, for whom, for what?
If it's for the people, for the nation, why do you rain down black rain again?
Even God can't stop it, even prayers don't reach.
The have-nots can only weep.
When can we laugh together again?
Will this song resonate in your heart?

At the edge of this dark world, this dark age,
Why do we shed tears and silence our laughter,
When we long to laugh and share joy?
There is no one person above another.

The scenes that unfold somewhere in the world again, feel like the end of the world.
Through media, radio waves, news, and the internet,
They reach us, right here.
We have protectors, we have things to rely on,
We are all born on this same star, so why?
Merciless lead bullets rain down on children.
We shoot down unwanted missiles with more missiles.
In the shadows, someone sells off large weapons.
Think again about the reason, about sin and punishment.
Even mistakes fade as the fighting continues.
Without adding compassion and love, it will crumble.
The determination to live amidst the echoing gunshots,
If we're all in this together, shouldn't we stop it already?
Nothing more will be born from hatred and anger.
I just want to revel, compare the loudness of our laughter.
Those who repeat the same things will do so again somewhere.
My voice can't reach that far anymore.

Refrain

Morning, noon, and night, dark news flows from the TV whenever it's on.
I watch without turning away, but my eyes want to close.
I cover my ears with my palms, wanting to block them out.
I keep singing, even though I don't know what we can do.
The end of this voice is far beyond, but first, it reaches you by my side.
If it reaches you, then at least one person.
But history will change in the future.
We, as humanity, will change by feeling the weight of one human life.
The meaning of living with a smile.
The sin of taking away a smile.
Authoritarianism that never stops.
To eliminate it, we entrust our hopes day by day.

Refrain
