6番目のユウウツ

勝手にしやがれ

Ok, I’m just going to start translating the lyrics to old Japanese songs with fatalistic and dramatic lyrics.  If you have a request, let me know.  To start, here’s Toki no Sugiyuku mama ni (As Time Goes By) by Kenji Sawada

Completely exhausted, you cry that even living is too much

And you sigh, playing a song of memories with one hand on a broken piano

As time goes by, put yourself in my hands

A man and woman floating along will find that falling into the depths can also be happiness, the two of our cold bodies intertwined

Wounds of the body will heal, but pains of the heart will never calm

Looking at the ring eating into your little finger, you think of the past and cry

As time goes by, put yourself in my hands

A man and woman floating along, we’ll find that if the two of us could love one another, and the view from the window would start to change

Lyrics by Yū Aku, music by Katsuo Ōno, 1975
