Текст и перевод песни 東風 - ぽろぽろ

ぽろぽろ

私小さい頃から随分と負けず嫌いだった
何をする時も絶対一番じゃないと気がすまなくて
ある日ある時私は運動会のリレーのアンカーで
バトンを受け取ってがむしゃらに腕を振って走った
大声援が聞こえていたキラメク秋空の下
突然私足がもつれて派手に転んでしまって
そのせいで私のクラスは一番ビリだった
みんなが慰めてくれたから余計に悔しくて
ぽろぽろぽろぽろ 涙流して泣いた

私にも彼ができて夢中になってた高校生の時
二人の愛はいつまでも続いていくと疑わなかった
なのに彼は違う女との間に子供ができたと言って
涙1つも見せないで私の前から消えた
「あんな奴忘れてしまえ」口々に言われたけど
私にとって生き甲斐だった彼を失うことは
考えることができない信じることができない
いつかまた私のもとへ必ず帰ってくるから
私ぽろぽろぽろぽろ 涙流して泣いた

お礼もお詫びも言えない突然の別れがあることを知ったのは
それからしばらく経って私も大人になって
いつも相談相手になっているはずの私の友達が
自殺を図りこの世を去ったと電話が入った
私固まって真っ白になって何が起こったかわからない
とても不器用で悩みを抱えてだけど必死に生きてたの
薬と恋に溺れてたった孤独で逝った
私があげたワンピース 最後に着ていたって...
ぽろぽろぽろぽろ...
涙を流す度に心の中で生きていく人がいる
流した涙は消えることなく心に深く溜まっていく
歳を重ねてしわを増やして思い描いてた人生から
遠ざかっていくから私達はささやかな幸せを願う
今日もまた空を見上げて誰かを思う度に
心の中の涙の泉で手を振る人たちがいる
私を励ましながら私を悲しませている
私を弱くさせながら私を強くさせている
だから ぽろぽろぽろぽろ 涙こらえながら
私 ぽろぽろぽろぽろ 涙あふれている

Pitter-patter

I've always been a sore loser since childhood,
Everything I did, I had to be the best, I couldn't help it,
One day I was the anchor for my class's relay at the sports festival,
I received the baton and furiously pumped my arms and ran,
Amidst the cheers, under the sparkling autumn sky,
Suddenly my feet tangled and I fell spectacularly,
Because of me, our class ended up dead last,
Everyone consoled me, which made me cry more,
Pitter, patter, pitter-patter, I let the tears fall.

I had a boyfriend when I was in high school, and I was crazy about him,
I never doubted that our love would last forever,
But then, out of the blue, he told me that he had gotten another woman pregnant,
He didn't shed a single tear as he disappeared from my life,
Everyone told me to "forget about that loser",
But to me, he was my raison d'etre, losing him
Was unthinkable, I couldn't believe it,
I knew he would come back to me one day,
And so, pitter, patter, pitter-patter, I let the tears fall.

Sudden partings, where there is no time for thanks or apologies, only came
After many years, when I had become an adult,
A friend of mine, who was always there for me,
Apparently attempted suicide and passed away, I was told over the phone,
I froze, my mind went blank, I couldn't comprehend,
She was clumsy, had her struggles, but she lived hard,
Drowned in drugs and love, she died alone,
The dress I gave her, she was wearing it at the end....
Pitter, patter, pitter-patter...
For every tear I shed, there is someone living in my heart,
The tears I shed do not vanish, but accumulate deep within my soul,
As I get older, and the wrinkles grow, the life I had envisioned,
Becomes more distant, so we wish for simple happiness,
Today again, as I look up at the sky and think of someone,
In the fountain of tears in my heart, there are people waving their hands,
Encouraging me, saddening me,
Weakening me, strengthening me,
That's why, pitter, patter, pitter-patter, I hold back the tears,
But, pitter, patter, pitter-patter, the tears still overflow.
