三文小説

• By: King Gnu

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

この世界の誰もが

In this world, everyone

君を忘れ去っても

may forget you,

随分老けたねって

they say you've aged quite a bit,

今日も隣で笑うから

but today, I still laugh beside you.

怯えなくて良いんだよ

You don't have to be afraid,

そのままの君で良いんだよ

it's okay to be just as you are.

増えた皺の数を隣で数えながら

Counting the number of wrinkles beside you,

...

...

僕らの人生が

Even if our lives

三文小説だとしても

are just a cheap novel,

投げ売る気は無いね

I have no intention of throwing it away,

何度でも書き直すよ

I'll rewrite it as many times as needed.

誰もが愛任せ

Everyone entrusts their love,

いつまでも彷徨う定め

destined to wander forever.

この小説の果ての

At the end of this novel,

その先を書き足すよ

I'll add what comes next.

真実と向き合うためには

To face the truth,

一人にならなきゃいけない時がある

there are times when you have to be alone.

過ちだと分かっていても尚

Even knowing it's a mistake,

描き続けたい物語があるよ

there's a story I want to keep drawing.

あゝ

Ah,

駄文ばかりの脚本と

with a script full of nonsense

三文芝居にいつ迄も

and a cheap play, I want to keep

付き合っていたいのさ

hanging on forever.

あゝ

Ah,

君の不器用な

with your clumsy

表情や言葉一つで

expressions and words,

救われる僕がいるから

I find salvation in you.

...

...

あの頃の輝きが

Even if the brilliance of those days

息を潜めたとしても

has faded away,

随分老けたねって

they say you've aged quite a bit,

明日も隣で笑うから

but tomorrow, I will still laugh beside you.

悲しまないで良いんだよ

You don't have to be sad,

そのままの君が良いんだよ

it's okay to be just as you are.

過ぎゆく秒針を隣で数えながら

Counting the passing seconds beside you,

止めどなく流るる泪雨が

the tears that flow endlessly

小説のように人生を何章にも

divide life into many chapters,

区切ってくれるから

just like a novel.

愚かだと分かっていても尚

Even knowing it's foolish,

足掻き続けなきゃいけない物語があるよ

there's a story I must keep struggling with.

あゝ

Ah,

立ち尽くした

standing still,

あの日の頼りない背中を

I can now push strongly against

今なら強く押して見せるから

that unreliable back from that day.

あゝ

Ah,

僕のくだらない

with my silly

表情や言葉一つで

expressions and words,

微笑んだ君がいるから

I see you smiling.
