Gendai Tokyo Kitan - 桑田佳祐 перевод на английский

Gendai Tokyo Kitan

明日の行方も知らない 羊達の群れ
都会の闇に彷徨い 身を守るだけ

娼婦が無情に散った日も 顔を背けるようにして
傷ついた者だけを 置き去りにした

街の灯りに佇む 欲まみれの亡霊
笑みを浮かべた狼が 手招きしてる

飼い慣らされた僕は 一人じゃ立てそうもない
川は流れ ただそれを 見つめるばかり

淋しくて 淋しくて 魂に死化粧
忘られぬ面影が 逝くなと呼び止める
愛し合う悦びを もう一度噛みしめて
この頬を濡らすのは 熱いひと筋の涙

人間はあてなき旅路に 疲れ果てたまま
己れの仕掛けた罠に 堕ちてゆくのね

幼き日見た夢が 全て嘘と言うのなら
世の中は裏表 何故か教えて

階段を下りるように 沈む夕陽を見て
やるせない運命だと 言うのは易いけど
生まれくる子供らに 真心を伝えて
この胸に響くのは 母の大切な言葉

淋しくて 淋しくて 魂に死化粧
今は亡き面影が 泣くなと呼び掛ける
愛し合う悦びを 誰かと分かち合い
この命燃やすのは 赤い血の如き涙

Modern Tokyo Strange Tales

A flock of sheep, unaware of tomorrow's path,
Wander in the city's darkness, just protecting themselves.

Even on the day the prostitute died tragically, turning my face away,
I left only the wounded behind.

Standing in the city lights, ghosts consumed by desire,
A smiling wolf beckons me.

Tamed as I am, I can't stand on my own,
The river flows, and I just stare at it.

Lonely, so lonely, I put death makeup on my soul,
Your unforgettable face calls out to me, telling me not to go.
Once more, savoring the joy of our love,
These cheeks are wet with a single, hot tear.

Humanity, weary from its aimless journey,
Falls into the traps it sets for itself.

If the dreams I saw in my childhood were all lies,
Tell me why the world has two faces.

Watching the setting sun sink like descending stairs,
It's easy to say it's a cruel fate, but
I'll convey my true feelings to the children yet to be born,
Echoing in my heart are my mother's precious words.

Lonely, so lonely, I put death makeup on my soul,
Your departed face calls out, telling me not to cry.
Sharing the joy of love with someone,
This life I burn is a tear the color of red blood.
