Текст и перевод песни 松任谷由実 - ノーサイド

ノーサイド

彼は目を閉じて 枯れた芝生の匂い 深く吸った
長いリーグ戦 しめくくるキックは ゴールをそれた

肩を落として 土をはらった
ゆるやかな 冬の日の黄昏に
彼はもう二度と かぐことのない風 深く吸った

何をゴールに決めて
何を犠牲にしたの 誰も知らず
歓声よりも長く
興奮よりも速く 走ろうとしていた あなたを
少しでもわかりたいから
人々がみんな立ち去っても私 ここにいるわ

同じゼッケン 誰かがつけて
また次のシーズンを かけてゆく
人々がみんなあなたを忘れても ここにいるわ

何をゴールに決めて
何を犠牲にしたの 誰も知らず
歓声よりも長く
興奮よりも速く 走ろうとしていた あなたを
少しでもわかりたいから
人々がみんな立ち去っても私 ここにいるわ

No Side

He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply the scent of the withered grass.
The long league season was over, and his final kick had missed the goal.

He shrugged his shoulders and brushed the dirt off his uniform.
In the fading light of a mild winter day,
he took one last deep breath of the wind he would never smell again.

What was your goal, anyway?
What did you sacrifice to reach it?
You ran faster than the cheers of the crowd,
longer than the thrill of victory.
I want to understand you, even a little.
Even when everyone else leaves, I'll still be here.

Someone else will wear your number,
and next season will begin anew.
Even if everyone else forgets you, I'll always be here.

What was your goal, anyway?
What did you sacrifice to reach it?
You ran faster than the cheers of the crowd,
longer than the thrill of victory.
I want to understand you, even a little.
Even when everyone else leaves, I'll still be here.
