Текст и перевод песни サザンオールスターズ - Friends

Friends

私の幼い妹よ
眠れるお前は腕の中
だけども悲しい夢を見て
寝息の合間に涙ぐむ

夜が怖くて 朝が見たくて
身体寄せ合う 嗚呼 ふたり

あの日の子守唄を
もう一度聴かせて

サヨナラするのは辛いけど
輝く未来を friends, friends
この子が大人になる日まで
希望の光を消さないで

永く果てない戦争は
人の歴史の 嗚呼 運命

遥かな時代)を超えて
流れる大河(かわ)のように

私の可愛い妹は
今では冷たい土の中
想い出枕に在りし日の
クルクル回るよ風車

夜空見上げて星を数えた
それが幸せだったのに

この世に生まれたのは
愛する人のため
Hey

Hey, hey
Love somebody, need somebody
Love somebody, tonight
Love somebody, need somebody
Love somebody, all right

あなたがくれたものは
永遠なる真心

Friends

My little sister,
You sleep in my arms.
But you're having a sad dream,
Shedding tears between your breaths.

Afraid of the night, longing for the morning,
We huddle together, oh, the two of us.

That lullaby from that day,
Let me sing it to you once more.

Saying goodbye is painful, but
A bright future awaits, friends, friends.
Until the day this child becomes an adult,
Don't let the light of hope fade away.

The long, endless war,
Is the fate of human history, oh.

Beyond the distant ages,
Like a flowing river.

My sweet little sister,
Now lies in the cold earth.
With memories as my pillow, of those bygone days,
The pinwheel spins round and round.

We looked up at the night sky and counted the stars,
That was happiness, wasn't it?

We are born into this world
For the sake of those we love.
Hey

Hey, hey
Love somebody, need somebody
Love somebody, tonight
Love somebody, need somebody
Love somebody, all right

What you gave me
Is an eternal, true heart.
