“夢見る心”



夢を見るな、現実を見ろと言われ

つまらない人生だな、夢を見ろよとも言われる

どちらも正しいのだろうけど

どちらも心には響かない

うるさいなと顔面にパンチを喰らわせる

そんな夢を見る心は持っている


“A Dreaming Heart”

“Stop dreaming—face reality,” they say.
“Don’t be so dull—dream a little,” they say.

They’re probably both right,
but neither of them
really reaches me.

It’s so loud—
I throw a punch at their face.

At least,
I still have a heart
that can dream like that.

”大切なもの“


大切なものと、どうでもいいもの

もちろん大切なものを選ぶ

大切なものと、大切なもの

うーん、

悩んで、迷ってなかなか決められない

今週はたくさん悩んだ気がするな

周りに大切なものが増えてきた証拠かな


“What Matters”

What matters,
and what doesn’t—

of course,
I choose what matters.

But when it’s
what matters
or what matters—

I hesitate,
I waver,
and can’t seem to decide.

I feel like
I’ve spent all week
wrestling with choices.

Maybe that just means
there are more things
in my life that matter now.

“ないものねだり”


欲しいものを手に入れたら

それで満足

また別のものが欲しくなる

人が持っているものがいい

誰も持っていないものなら尚更いい

欲望に素直に

君の唇が欲しい


“Wanting What I Don’t Have”

When I get what I want,
I’m satisfied—
for a while.

Then I start wanting
something else.

What others have
always looks better.
And if no one else has it,
even better.

So I follow my desires, honestly—

I want your lips.

”胸が高鳴る“


大人になって

胸が高鳴ることが減ってきた

初めての体験ってのが少なくなってきて

ある程度なにが起きるのかわかってしまう

未来が予想できないことになら

再びワクワクできるのかな

財布とスマホを手に

競馬場へ向かう


“A Racing Heart”

As I’ve grown older,
moments that make my heart race
have become fewer.

There are fewer “first times,”
and I can more or less
predict what’s going to happen.

Maybe
if I step into something
I can’t foresee,
I’ll feel that excitement again.

With my wallet and phone in hand,
I head
to the racetrack.

“もっと知りたい”


あの国のことなんでもいいからもっと知りたい

って思ってたはずなのに

気づいたら耳を塞いでる

歴史が面白いって思えるのは

随分と昔の出来事だけ

現代に近づくにつれて解像度が上がって

知りたいという気持ちも失せていく

そっか

知りたかったのは都合のいいことだけだったんだ


“I Want to Know More”

I used to think
I wanted to know everything
about that country.

Anything at all—
I just wanted to learn more.

But before I knew it,
I found myself covering my ears.

History feels interesting
only when it belongs
to the distant past.

The closer it gets to the present,
the clearer the picture becomes—
and the more my curiosity fades.

I see.

What I really wanted to know
were only the things
that were convenient for me.
