街は いつも通り

街は いつも通り
いつも おもて通り
にぎやかな人波が あふれてる
だからひとりで 飛び出す

Lyrics, Composition: Taeko Onuki.
/Rough English translation
Now, I'm sure I can give up on you.
because, there's nothing I've lost.
The city looks like it's as usual,
As if nothing had happened.
There's a lot of bustling crowds,
so,
I run out with a smile on my face.
No matter how deeply we communicated,
With just only one word,
Goodbye for the first time.
The city is as usual
As if nothing had happened.
Anytime Main Street
Bustling waves of people are overflowing
So
I'm going out into the city "alone."

A miraculous duet. Ex-wife and lover

シュガーベイブ時代のこの曲を含め、大貫さんの若い時分に作った楽曲は、メロにも歌詞にもとても惹かれるものがある。ちょっとやり過ぎ感もある独特な大貫転調も大好き。
