Description
Everything flows, everything breaks, and everything is repaired as it can be. People leave, come back, borrow five thousand and forget, get married, get divorced, write "how are you?" after many years. And life still goes on with burnt dinners, bad test results, and quiet songs in a bar that's no longer there. There's a gentle swaying in that sound between "it's already late" and "there's still time." Fatigue that suddenly becomes wisdom, and laughter stuck between the throat and the heart. The warmth of old habits, the hum of streets where other people's children grow up, and a strange calm from the thought that nothing is eternal except the very fact that you are alive.
Lyrics and translation
Original
電話帳の中の人が少しずつ死んでいったり。
唯一行きつけ の居酒屋は潰れ、変な店に変わったり。
あんなに好きだった人が結婚して子供も生まれたり。
その後シ ングルマザーになり、久しぶりに連絡が来たり。
ATMま で行って金貸した結婚下の彼は今や売れっ子だけど。
あの時のなけなしの五千円はまだ返ってきてなかったり。
生きてりゃ いろいろあるよな。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
そりゃそうだよな。 それそういうもんだな。
親方の腹に癌が見つかり、なんかやけに食らったり。
いつ死んでもいいとか言ってた俺も検査に行ってみたり。
小 三だったあの生意気な親友の子供は今じゃ高校に上 がり、親の金くすねコンドー向かっていたり。
このペースで時が過ぎるなら、一人ぼっちで死ぬ可能性が現実味を帯びて。
人知れずポツンと死ぬなら夏場は嫌だななんて思ったり。
生きてりゃい ろいろあるよな。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
きっとこれからだって想像を優に超えてこう いや。
ずっととか絶対とか一生とかないのはもう分かった から。 せめてもう少しだけこのままで。
ねえ、このままでいさせ て。 失ってからしか気づけないような出来損ないと分かってるんだ。
それなら俺は俺をあと何回失くせば気づけるんだろう。
君は いないのに全然いなくなんないのはねえ、なんでなんだろう。
あの子のバンドを始めた仲間はほぼ辞めていたり。
今の流行 は歌って踊ったりHIPHOPが占めていたり。
ただいまもおかえり もない日々が人生の半分以上を占め。
それと引き換えに手にした喜びがあるじゃねえかよなんて言い聞かせたり。
かつて音楽は人間の手によって作られた時代があったんだよなんてさ。
そんな時代を前にまだ見ぬとんでもねえ音楽を作るてなんざほざいたり。
生きてるって そういうもんだろ。
生きてるってそういうもんだろ。
きっとこれからだってそうありたいと思ってしまうの さ。
ずっととか絶対とか一生とかないのはもう分かったから。
せめて もう少しだけこのままで。 ねえ、このままでいさせて。
たとえさよな らが来るとしても出会えた喜びでおかしくなんだ。
俺は俺をあと何回だって何回だって繋ぎ止めるよ。
君はいな いのにずっとずっとここにいるのはねえ、なんでなんだ よ。
あの行きつけの店の店長は自殺だったこと。
死ぬ三日 前連絡があったけど出られなかったこと。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
生きてりゃいろいろあるよな。
English translation
People in the phone book are dying little by little.
The only pub I frequented went out of business and turned into a strange restaurant.
The person I loved so much got married and had a child.
After that, I became a single mother, and it's been a while since I've heard from her.
My married boyfriend, who went to the ATM and lent me money, is now a popular guy.
I still haven't gotten back the 5,000 yen I lost at that time.
There are many things that happen in life.
There are many things that happen in life.
That's right. That's what it is.
My husband was diagnosed with cancer in his stomach, and I was devastated.
I said I could die at any time, so I went for a test.
My best friend's cheeky child, who was in third grade, is now in high school and is heading off to his parents' high school.
If time passes at this pace, there's a real possibility that I'll die alone.
I don't want to die in the summer without anyone knowing.
There are many things you can do to survive.
There are many things that happen in life.
I'm sure it will go beyond my imagination from now on.
I already know that things don't last forever, never, or forever. At least stay like this for a little while longer.
Hey, let me stay like this. I know it's a failure that you only realize after you've lost it.
If that's the case, I wonder how many more times I'll have to lose myself before I'll realize it.
Even though you're not here, I never seem to disappear.I wonder why.
Most of the friends who started that kid's band have quit.
The current trends are dominated by singing, dancing, and HIPHOP.
More than half of my life is filled with days when I am not home.
I told myself that in exchange for that, there would be joy in what I got.
There was a time when music was created by humans.
How dare you make such outrageous music that has never been seen before in such an era.
That's what it means to be alive.
That's what it means to be alive.
I'm sure that's what I want to be like from now on.
I already know that it doesn't last forever, never, or forever.
At least stay like this for a little while longer. Hey, let me stay like this.
Even if we have to say goodbye, I'm still so happy that we met.
I'll chain me up again and again and again.
Why am I still here when you're not here?
The manager of that store I frequented committed suicide.
I was contacted three days before I died, but I couldn't make it.
There are many things that happen in life.
There are many things that happen in life.
There are many things that happen in life.
There are many things that happen in life.
