Eiko No Otoko - Southern All Stars перевод на английский

Eiko No Otoko

ハンカチを振り振り
あの人が引退(さ)るのを
立ち喰いそば屋の
テレビが映してた
シラけた人生で
生まれて初めて
割箸を持つ手が震えてた

「永遠に不滅」と
彼は叫んだけど
信じたモノはみんな
メッキが剥がれてく

I will never cry.
この世に何を求めて生きている？
叶わない夢など
追いかけるほど野暮じゃない

悲しくて泣いたら
幸せが逃げて去っちまう
ひとり寂しい夜
涙こらえてネンネしな

ビルは天にそびえ
線路は地下を巡り
現代(いま)この時代(とき)こそ
「未来」と呼ぶのだろう
季節の流れに
俺は立ち眩み
浮かれたあの頃を思い出す

もう一度あの日に
帰りたいあの娘(こ)の
若草が萌えてる
艶(いろ)づいた水辺よ

生まれ変わってみても
栄光の男にゃなれない
鬼が行き交う世間
渡り切るのが精一杯

老いてゆく肉体(からだ)は
愛も知らずに満足かい？
喜びを誰かと
分かち合うのが人生さ

優しさをありがとう
キミに惚れちゃったよ
立場があるから
口に出せないけど
居酒屋の小部屋で
酔ったフリしてさ
足が触れたのは故意(わざ)とだよ

満月が都会の
ビルの谷間から
「このオッチョコチョイ」と
俺を睨んでいた

I will never cry.
この世は弱い者には冷たいね
終わりなき旅路よ
明日天気にしておくれ

恋人に出逢えたら
陽の当たる場所へ連れ出そう
命預けるように
可愛いあの娘とネンネしな

Man of Glory

Waving my handkerchief,
Watching him retire,
On the standing soba shop's
Flickering TV screen.
In this dull life of mine,
For the very first time,
My hand holding chopsticks trembled.

"Eternally immortal,"
He declared aloud,
But everything I believed in,
Is losing its veneer.

I will never cry.
What am I living for in this world?
Chasing unattainable dreams
Is just foolish, isn't it, girl?

If I cry from sadness,
Happiness will slip away.
On this lonely night,
I'll hold back my tears and sleep.

Buildings pierce the sky,
Trains run underground,
This present time, this era,
Is what we call "the future," I suppose.
In the flow of seasons,
I feel a wave of dizziness,
Remembering those carefree days.

I want to go back to that day again,
Back to that girl,
To that vibrant, verdant waterside,
Where young grass sprouts.

Even if I'm reborn,
I'll never be a man of glory.
In this world full of demons,
Just surviving is all I can do.

This aging body,
Are you content without knowing love, darling?
Sharing joy with someone,
That's what life is all about.

Thank you for your kindness,
I've fallen for you, you see.
Because of my position,
I can't say it aloud,
But in that small izakaya room,
Pretending to be drunk,
Touching your foot was on purpose, my dear.

The full moon, from between
The city's towering buildings,
Glared down at me,
Calling me a "clumsy fool."

I will never cry.
This world is cold to the weak, isn't it?
On this endless journey,
Please let tomorrow be a sunny day.

If I find my love,
I'll take her to a sunny place.
Entrusting my life to her,
I'll sleep with my sweet darling.
