光はだれにも Just Don't Forget About That

This is song 2 of 5 that Shion and I recorded for the upcoming concert at Hillside Place on Sept. 11.

Filming and Editing were handled by Mack from Mackfim (he's in film school and is going to be huge so check him out here: http://vimeo.com/mackfilm ), and the always brilliant Marlow who you'll find here: http://www.youtube.com/marlowgum

Lyrics:

A humble lunch, soup and sandwiches
質素なランチ、スープとサンドウィッチ
In boxes on a stony ledge
石垣の上の箱のなかにある
A line of hungry men
行列になっているお腹をすかした男たち
A son asks, "Why are we here every week?"
息子が言うには「何で僕たち毎週ここにいるの？」
"With old men on a losing streak?"
「負け犬のオッサンと一緒にいるなんて」
"We could probably find some better friends"
「僕たちはもっといい友達を探せばいいのに」

The father's only words
お父さんが一言言った
The best advice he'd ever heard
一番いい助言

"There's a sunshine, that you need to find,"
「探さなければならない光がある」
"In everyone you're looking at"
「出会う皆の中に」
"The light that's in you, it's in them too"
「あなたの中に光っている光はその人の中にも光っている」
"Just don't forget about that"
「それだけは忘れないでね」

ひとみの多くで
ためた涙はいつか流れて
そして心の中きれいな虹が
橋をかけるから
泣いていいよ、僕が側にいるから

忘れないで二人で
見上げた朝日を
手をかざして、探して
光は誰にも

Self-assured, strong, and cynical
独立して強くて悲観的で
The safest life, but oh so dull
一番安全な生活だけど面白くはない
We stay a million miles apart
私たちは百万マイル離れている場所に残る
The other path, the logic of the wise
その他の道、賢者の論理とは
That without a teardrop in your eyes
目の中に涙がなければ
There'll be no rainbow in your heart
心の中には虹もない

Love is an elementary creed
愛とは根本的な教えである
That breaks "us and them" down to "you and me"
愛が自分中心のグループから親密な関係に分解する
