First Love

The rains of early spring are emerald green
They make me so sorrowful, these afternoons alone
Falling in love, being lonely
These feelings that didn't reach you burned inside
The first loves where you cannot say "I like you"
Are a deeply troubled heart
You were there, running in the schoolyard after school
I always looked for you there, from afar
It's just a superficial dream, so it can never leave my heart

The glow of the sunset is the color of apricots
On the way home alone, I whistle to myself
The only thing I can't do is call out your name
I looked so intently at the heart so captivated by you, you know
The first loves where you cannot say "I like you"
Are a deeply troubled heart
Like a pool of water disturbed by flower petals blown by the wind
Trying to write the word "love"
I trembled, back then
It's just a superficial dream, so it can never leave my heart

訳詩で歌う洋楽ヒット曲 "The Way" Fastball cover

Chanced upon this video, went looking for The Way by Fastball. Not a bad effort by singer to sing in the native languages.


Lyric: - The Way Fastball

They made up their minds And they started packing
心に決め 荷物を詰め込む
They left before the sun came up that day
日が昇る前に 旅立った
An exit to eternal summer slacking
長く けだるい夏の出口 
But where were they going without everKnowing the way?
でも どこに向かう 道も知らずに

They drank up the wine And they got to talking
ワインを飲み 話をした
They now had more important things to say
かなり深刻な話になった
When the car broke down they started walking
車が壊れて 歩き出した 
But where were they going without everKnowing the way?
でも どこに向かう 道も知らずに

Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved with gold
夏の日差し 金色に輝く道 
It's always summer They'll never get cold
どこまで続く 熱い命
They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey
腹もすかなきゃ 年もとらない
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
二人の影 強い光に 逃げ出して
They won't make it home But they really don't care
帰らないけど かまわない
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today
ハイウェイを目指す
幸せはそこに

Their children woke up And they couldn't find them
ふたりがいないのに 子供たちが気づく
They left before the sun came up that day
日が昇る前に 旅たった
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
車で飛び出し すべてを置いていった
But where were they going without everKnowing the way?
でも どこに向かう 道も知らずに
Anyone can see the road that they walk on Is paved with gold
夏の日差し 金色に輝く道 
It's always summer They'll never get cold
どこまで続く 熱い命
They'll never get hungry They'll never get old and grey
腹もすかなきゃ 年もとらない
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
二人の影 強い光に 逃げ出して
They won't make it home But they really don't care
帰らないけど かまわない
They wanted the highway They're happier there today
ハイウェイを目指す 幸せはそこに
