千両役者

• Por: King Gnu

Letra:

[日本語]

[English]

出鱈目な劇を繰り返して

Repeating reckless plays

筋書きは何時も無理矢理で

The script always forced and fake

命を継ぎ接ぎ

Piecing together life

迷路の先は何時も振り出し

Always back to the start after the maze

吊り橋を渡れ剥き出しで

Cross the suspension bridge exposed

のらりくらり千鳥足で

Carefree, stumbling along

命の駆け引き

The gamble of life

くたばりゃ最後

If you die, it’s the end

死人にゃ口無し ah

Dead men tell no tales ah

食った食われたの茶番劇

The fool’s game of eating and being eaten

一夜限り仮初めの繁栄

A fleeting illusion of prosperity for one night only

命の安売り

Selling life cheaply

緞帳閉じ当代を御仕舞い

Close the curtain, this show is over

泥仕合の果てに喜劇あり

There’s comedy after the mudslinging

カタストロフィ超えてけ業

Moving beyond catastrophe, keep going

今宵の千両役者

Tonight’s star performer

狂気の如し歌舞いて頂戴

Sing wildly, like madness, for me

薪尽きて火の滅する時

When the fire dies out after all the wood is gone

駆け巡った走馬灯の

The whirl of the running lamps

其の眺めは値千金か万金か

Is that view worth a fortune or more?

此の目には絶景かな

A breathtaking sight in my own eyes

一世一代の大舞台

A grand stage of a lifetime

有名無名も関係ない

Famous or unknown, it doesn’t matter

爽快だけを頂戴

Give me only the thrill

あなたと相思相愛で居たい

I want to be in love with you

好き勝手放題の商売

Doing business as I please

後悔なんて面倒臭いや

Regret’s a bother anyway

青臭い野暮臭い生涯を

Living in a naive, dull life

ただ生きるための抗体を頂戴 ah

Just give me the resistance to keep on living ah

合いの手の如し口を出し

Interjecting like a chorus

立場悪くなりゃ「お先に」

If your position worsens, “After you”

無意識に串刺し

Unconscious impalement

ど阿呆には自覚は無し

Pure fools have no awareness

何様者だ 其様もんだ

Who do you think you are? You’re nobody

Da da da ママのおマンマで

Da da da, with mommy’s good food

お腹パンパンだ

My stomach is full

パッパラパーな頭ん中

A fool’s mind

馬鹿な儘だ

Remaining foolish

無意味から眺める意味を

Seeking meaning from nothing

死から眺めた生の躍動

Living energy viewed from death

その様まるで 御祭り土砂降り

It’s like a festival, pouring rain

此の目には絶景かな

A breathtaking sight in my own eyes

一世一代の大舞台

A grand stage of a lifetime

有名無名も関係ない

Famous or unknown, it doesn’t matter

爽快だけを頂戴

Only the thrill

あなたと相思相愛で居たい

I want to be in love with you

好き勝手放題の商売

Doing business as I please

勝敗なんて興味は無いや

I’m not interested in wins or losses

青臭い野暮臭い生涯を

Living a naive, dull life

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

ただ生きるための抗体を頂戴

Just give me the resistance to keep on living

出鱈目な劇を繰り返して

Repeating reckless plays

筋書きは何時も無理矢理で

The script always forced and fake

命を継ぎ接ぎ
