Текст и перевод песни ドイツ民謡 feat. Yuko Mifune - かえるの合唱

かえるの合唱

生ぬるい夜の水辺を
ゆっくりとなぞる とろけた月明かり
神様の声におびえて

深い井戸の底 丸い宇宙見上げ歌う
一匹のかえる

誰も聴いちゃ いないけれど
草木の呼吸に メロディ這わせて

けろけろけろけろ
楽しそうにかえるは歌う
縛られず誰にも邪魔されず
好きな歌を歌う

「素敵な歌声をもっと聴かせて。」
暗い井戸の底 灯りを運ぶ蛍

初めて差しのべられた 期待の声に
少しおどけて 真っ赤なベロを垂らす

君が聴いてくれるのなら
しっぽの光に BPMを合わせて

けろけろけろけろ
嬉しそうにかえるは歌う
ゆらゆら舞う蛍のダンスに
見惚れながら歌う

やがて 井戸から灯る光につられ
色んなかえるたちが集りだし
あたたかい声とつめたい声の
思惑の粒が投げ込まれ
水辺を波だたせてゆく

けろけろけろけろ
孤独だったかえるのうたが
気づけば賑やかな輪となって
星空を震わす

けろけろけろけろ
悩みながら かえるは歌う
ほんとの気持ちを隠したまま
なるべく好きな歌を歌う

そして月日は経ち
穴底の歌声は消えうせ
やがてまた 別の穴底から
新たなかえるの歌声が

Chorus of the Frogs

As I slowly glide across the lukewarm water of the night
The soft moonlight tracing my path
Scared by the voice of God

I sing staring up at the round universe at the bottom of the deep well
A solitary frog

Nobody’s listening
My melody slipping along the breaths of the grass and trees

Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
The happy song of the frog
Bound by nothing, bothered by nobody
I sing the song I want

“Let me hear more of your wonderful voice.”
A firefly, a light in the dark depths of the well

For the first time, a voice of anticipation reaching down
I playfully hang my bright red tongue out

If you will listen to me
I will match my BPM to the light of your tail

Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
The delighted song of the frog
Enthralled by the gently dancing firefly
I sing as I watch

Then, drawn to the light coming from the well
Frogs of all kinds begin to gather
Their warm and cool voices
Grains of opinion thrown in
Making waves across the water’s surface

Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
The lonely frog’s song
Unnoticed, it has become a lively chorus
Making the starry sky tremble

Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit
The troubled song of the frog
Hiding my true feelings
I sing the song I want as much as I can

And as the days pass
The song from the bottom of the hole fades away
And once more, from a different hole
The song of a new frog
