Текст и перевод песни 松任谷由実 - ずっとそばに

ずっとそばに

ゆれる海に潜るような
何もきこえない ひとりぼっちのとき
きみはハンター もがきながら
宝物みつけ きっと戻って来る

かわってあげられぬ痛みが哀しいわ
どんなに思っていても

たなびく夕映えの雲 私に
涙あふれさせてくれたかわりに
そっと呼んで つらいならば
時を かけて行くわ

人は勝手ね 淋しいからよ
きみらしいフォームでゆっくりと泳いで

疑うこともなく知り合う人々を
"ともだち"と呼べた日々へ

ふりそそぐ8月の雨 私を
はだしで笑わせてくれたかわりに
そっと呼んで 胸の奥で
ずっと そばにいるわ
今日も 明日も ずっと

Always by Your Side

I feel as if diving into the turbulent ocean,
When I hear nothing, when I'm all alone.
Like a hunter, you struggle,
Searching for hidden treasures, until you finally return.

It makes me sad to know that there is pain I cannot take away from you,
No matter how much I care.

The clouds painted in the fading sunlight,
Remind me of the tears you’ve shed for me,
Call out to me when you are in pain,
And I will come to you in time.

People are selfish; they come to you when they are lonely,
Keep on swimming slowly and steadily,

To the days when you could call,
Those whom you met without hesitation: “friends.”

The heavy August rain,
Reminds me of the laughter you shared with me, even when we were barefoot,
Call out to me when you are in pain,
I will always be there for you,
Today, tomorrow, and forever.
