Текст и перевод песни 小椋佳 - 時

時

街角で偶然に出あった
とてもとても遠い日
ほんの少し首をかしげて
微笑む癖覚えていました
手にすくった巻貝に
聞こえた白い潮騒が
あなたのまわりに聞こえます

時に長さがあるなんて
だれが告げたのですか
僕はあの日の君の姿
今も見つめることができるのに

街角で偶然に出あった
とてもとても遠い日
君の好きな色は変わらず
淡い淡い紫でしたね
いつか手紙に書くはずの
朝まで捜した言の葉は

今でも心に住んでます
時がすべて流すなんて
だれが言ったのですか
ひとり逃げた冬の海の

波の冷たさが僕の手の中にある

街角で偶然に出あった
とてもとても遠い日
幸せを尋ねる戸惑い
どうしてか聞けない僕です
開いたばかりの花の香の

春のどやかなひろがりが
あなたのまわりにさざめいてます
時はもとに戻れないと
だれが決めたのですか
心の中にあこがれが
今もふくらんでいくと感じているのに

Time

We ran into each other by chance at the street corner
On that very, very distant day
You cocked your head just a little
And I remembered your habit of smiling
I scooped up a conch shell in my hand
And the sound of the white surf
Can be heard all around you

Time has length, you say?
Who told you that?
I can still see you as you were that day
I can still see you as you are now

We ran into each other by chance at the street corner
On that very, very distant day
Your favorite color hasn't changed
It's still a soft, light purple, isn't it?
I was going to write you a letter
I searched all night for the right words

And now they live in my heart
Time washes everything away, you say?
Who told you that?
I ran away to the winter sea, all alone

And the coldness of the waves is still in my hands

We ran into each other by chance at the street corner
On that very, very distant day
I'm hesitant to ask about your happiness
Somehow, I can't bring myself to ask
The scent of flowers that have just bloomed

The gentle spread of spring
Ripples all around you
Time can't be turned back, you say?
Who decided that?
My heart still yearns for you
And I can still feel it growing
