Текст и перевод песни 太田裕美 - かなしみ葉書

かなしみ葉書

泣きはらした目に絵葉書が揺れる
あなた遠い町でさよなら書いたのは
せめてもの私へのいたわりね

吊り橋の写真 選んだ理由は
心の架け橋がなかったせいかしら
やさしさを読みとれば胸がつまるわ

あなたと私の淋しさを足せば
それが愛と信じていたの

去りゆく季節を追いかけてみても
あなたはもう帰らないの

旅立ちの前にここに来たあなた
せめてその隣に私を横たえて
なぐさめる事ぐらいできたはずだわ

あなたと私の淋しさを足せば
それが愛と信じていたの

去りゆく季節が手に残したのは
インク滲む絵葉書だけ

Postcard of Sadness

A postcard flutters before my tear-stained eyes,
A farewell scribbled in a distant town where you lie,
A token of compassion, meant to ease my pain and sighs.

You chose a picture of a bridge, suspending high;
Perhaps a metaphor, for the connection we lacked.
But in your kindness, a bittersweet truth I find.

The sum of our loneliness, we once believed, was love;
But now I know, it's a dream lost and gone.

I chase after the seasons as they fade away,
But you're already gone, and won't return this way.

Before your departure, you visited this place,
I wish you had taken me in your embrace,
So I could offer solace, in your arms so tender.

The sum of our loneliness, we once believed, was love;
But now I know, it's a dream lost and gone.

The fading season leaves me with a trace,
A postcard soaked in ink, a mournful, lonely space.
