Текст и перевод песни 稲葉浩志 - 孤独のススメ

孤独のススメ

みんながいるなら ひとまずは安心と
ぞろぞろ渡ってしまった赤信号
右も左も見ることなく流れに身を任す
妙な連帯感 これまるでヒプノタイズ
強くなった気になるのは勘違い
突っ込んできた車にゃ体は勝てないし
泣いても遅い

何にも疑わず考えるの
サボりまくって
痛い目にあってから
泣きっ面で犯人さがしに躍起になる

たまにはひとりで
寂しく強く考えてみてよ
これでダメならばしょうがないと
晴れやかに歩き出せ

BGM付きのニュースばっかり見たい
誰かに心ひっぱってもらいたい
悪いのはあいつだ とりあえずあいつを懲らしめろ
リーダーの暗示に身を任す

いつも運悪く誰かが
巻き添え食らう
その時一体
誰の言うこと聞いてついていく気なの

たまにはひとりで
深い海を潜っていってみてよ
新しい言葉を
息も絶え絶えに手に入れてごらん

必死に空気ばっか読んでたら
自分の名前さえ分かんなくなっちゃうかもよ

たまにはひとりで
寂しく強く考えてみてよ
たまには群れずに
静けさの中 どっぷり浸かりなよ
大勢の力に
たやすく押し流されちゃいけない

Recommendation of Solitude

If everyone's doing it, it must be safe, right, darling?
We all blindly marched across that red light together.
Without looking left or right, just surrendering to the flow.
A strange sense of solidarity, almost like hypnosis.
It's a mistake to think you're stronger in a crowd, sweetheart.
Your body's no match for an oncoming car.
And crying won't help then.

Never questioning, never thinking for yourself.
Slacking off constantly, love.
And after getting hurt,
You frantically search for someone to blame, tears streaming down your face.

Sometimes, you need to be alone, darling.
Think deeply and strongly, even if it's lonely.
And if it doesn't work out, then so be it.
Walk away with your head held high.

You just want to watch the news with background music, right, sweetheart?
You want someone to guide your heart.
He's the bad guy. Let's punish him.
Surrendering to the leader's suggestion.

Someone always gets caught in the crossfire, love.
Collateral damage.
In that moment, whose words will you follow?
Who will you blindly follow?

Sometimes, you need to be alone, my dear.
Dive deep into the ocean of your thoughts.
Find new words,
Even if you're gasping for air.

If you're always desperately trying to read the room, love,
You might even forget your own name.

Sometimes, you need to be alone, darling.
Think deeply and strongly, even if it's lonely.
Sometimes, break away from the crowd, sweetheart.
Immerse yourself in the silence.
Don't be so easily swept away
By the force of the masses.
