Текст и перевод песни 太田裕美 - 午後のプレリュード

午後のプレリュード

花籠(かご)屋根に積んだ
車が鳴らすクラクションに
ふと振り向けば 街中楽しそうに
午後の挨拶かわす人達
今 カフェテラスから

幸せ風景画見てるみたいよ
愛がゆきかう傍で
風とたわむれながら
知らずに急いでた 心の時計を
少し止めるの
そう 一人きりのバカンス

古着屋さんで買った
リボン刺繍の小さなバッグ
手にやさしくて
にぎやかなマダムの身振り話に
笑った事が もうなつかしくなる

あなたに絵葉書送りましょうか
軽く頬杖つけば
旅のいたずらかしら
"好きよと"横文字で書きそうな気分
ちょっとまぶしい夏
一人きりのバカンス

Afternoon Prelude

The car with flowers piled high on its roof
Blasts its horn and I
Turn my head suddenly: the town
Is joyously trading "good afternoons"
Now, from the cafe terrace

I'm watching a scene of happiness like a painting
Love flows all around me
I play with the wind
Without knowing, I was rushing to keep up with time
I'm stopping now
Yes, it's a solo vacation

The little bag with the ribbon embroidery
That I bought at the second-hand shop
Feels soft in my hand
The lively madam chats and gestures
I laugh, but it already feels like a distant memory

Shall I send you a postcard?
As I rest my cheek in my hand
Is this just a mischievous prank the journey's playing on me?
I feel like writing "I love you" in English
Summer is somewhat dazzling
A solo vacation
