【和訳】This Life -Vampire Weekend
初めまして！和訳のブログを始めました！
最初の曲は、大好きなバンドの大好きな曲を選びました。
冒頭の、悲しい気持ちを雨で表現するところがとても詩的で大好きです。
カリフォルニアのカラッとした晴れの日に、1人雨の中にいるような孤独を感じさせてくれます。
悲しい詩の割には、明るく軽やかなサウンドが採用されていて、孤独な魂が安らぎを求めているのかなと想像できますね。
では、是非曲と一緒にお楽しみください！
Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
ベイビー、僕は分かっているつもりだよ。痛みを感じるのは、雨が降るようにごく自然なことなんだってね。
I just thought it didn't rain in california
ただ僕はね、まさかカリフォルニアでは雨なんて降らないだろうと思っていただけなんだよ。
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
ベイビー、愛ってのは僕が思っていたのとは違ったよ。
Cause I've never known a love like this before ya
以前は、愛がこんなものだなんて知りもしなかったのさ。
Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
ベイビー、僕は分かってるつもりだよ。夢ってのは最高のところで崩れるもんなんだってね。
I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
でも僕は、2人の夢はもう少しは長続きするだろうと思っていただけなんだ。
There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
男ってのはみんな、砂のなかに線を引く時がある。
We're surviving, we're still living, I was stronger
痛みを乗り越えて生き抜くんだ。まだまだ生きていくんだ。僕はより強くなったんだ。
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
君は長い間僕以外の人を好きだったよね。
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
僕も実は浮気していたんだ。
You've been cheating on me
君はずっと僕を我慢してたみたいだね。
But I've been cheating through this life and all its suffering
でもそれより辛いのはさ、僕はずっとこの人生を適当に生きてきたってことなんだ。
この全ての苦しみを見ないようにしてきたんだよ。
Oh Christ, am I good for nothing?
あぁ、君様。僕には何も残ってないよ。それが僕にはお似合いなんだろうか。
Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
ベイビー、憎しみってのはいつもゲートで待ち構えているのは知ってるけどさ
I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
And I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But I've been cheating through this life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all its suffering
(You've been cheating on me, I've been cheating through)
Oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
(You've been cheating on me, I've been cheating through)
Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
'Cause I don't remember living life before this
And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
Unaware that they've been living in a forest
You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But I've been cheating through this life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all its suffering
(You've been cheating on me, I've been cheating through)
Oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
(You've been cheating on me, I've been cheating through)
This life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all its suffering
(You've been cheating on me, I've been cheating through)
Oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
