誕生
尾崎豊 Lyrics

俺の時計の針が ちょうど午前零時を指した
My clock hands pointed straight to midnight, which is when time passes into the new day and disappears.

過ぎ去る時は新しい日の中に 消え去ってゆく
Time that passes disappears into the new day.

訳もない涙が溢れ そっとこぼれ落ちる
Unexplainable tears overflow and fall gently.

分からないものが俺の全てを 狂わせてしまった
Something that I can't comprehend has driven me crazy.

愛を失い 仕事すらなくし 俺は街を出た
I lost love and even my job, so I left town.

そして今俺は一体何を 待ち続けているのか
And now I wonder what it is that I'm waiting for.

ポケットには 別れた家族の写真がある
I have a photo of my family that I separated from in my pocket.

皆で笑い俺は兄貴に 肩を抱かれてる
Everyone is laughing, and my brother has his arm around my shoulder in the photo.

その写真をながめる度 分けあった訳の中に
Every time I look at that photo, I think about the reasons for our separation.

それぞれが選んだ生き方を 思い浮かべてみる
I try to imagine the different ways they chose to live their lives.

人生はいつも誰にも 冷たいものだから
Life is always cold and unforgiving to everyone.

捨ててしまうことの方が きっと多いものだから
People tend to throw away things more easily than to keep them.

街の風は凍ついたまま 吹きつけ心隠さなければ
The cold city wind blows and won't stop unless you hide your heart from it.

大切なものを 何ひとつ守りきれやしないから
Because I can't protect anything that's important to me.

そっと目を閉じて ふっと心閉ざし 暮らしているけど
I close my eyes and shut my heart, but still live on.

Hey baby 俺はクールに この街で生きてみせる
Hey baby, I'll live in this city coolly and show them all.

Hey baby 俺は 祈りの言葉なんか忘れちまった
Hey baby, I've forgotten about prayers and such.

俺はきっとまだ マトモにやれるはずさ
I know I can still become a decent person.

街中の飢えた叫び声に 立ち向かいながら
While confronting the hungry cries of the people in the city.

俺は走り続ける 叫び続ける 求め続けるさ 俺の生きる意味を
I continue to run, scream, and search for the meaning of my life.

一人で生きる寂しさに疲れ やがて恋に落ちた
I grew tired of being lonely and eventually fell in love.

彼女と二人暮らし 始めて半年が経った
My girlfriend and I started living together; six months passed.

マトモな仕事が見つからずに 荒れ果てた暮らし
I couldn't find a decent job, so our life became dilapidated.

投げ出したくなる そんな暮らしが続く毎日に俺は
I feel like giving up, living each day with such a life.

愛の温もりも忘れて 心はすさんでゆき
I forget the warmth of love, and my heart becomes dull.

自分自身から逃げ出そうと 脅えて暮らした
I lived in fear, trying to escape from myself.

心の弱さの逃げ道に罪を犯した俺は 捕まえられ
I committed a crime while using the escape route of my weak heart, and was caught.

牢獄の重い扉の奥で息をひそめた
I hid my breath behind the heavy doors of the prison.

そして裁判の後俺は手首 ナイフで切り付け 気がつけば病院のベッドの上 薬漬にされた
After the trial, I cut my wrist with a knife and woke up in a hospital bed, drugged.

あぁ教えてくれ 俺のどこに間違いがあるのか
Oh, please tell me where I went wrong.

街の冷たい風から逃れて 生きてきただけなのに
I've lived just trying to escape from the cold wind of the city.

やがて俺もマトモな生活を 見つめ彼女と暮らした
Eventually, I started living a decent life with my girlfriend.

ある日彼女は 涙ぐむ笑顔の中でつぶやいた 二人の新しい命が宿り 生まれてくることを
One day, my girlfriend whispered through her teary smile that she was pregnant with our child.

新しく生まれてくるものよ おまえは間違ってはいない
You, the new life that is about to come, are not wrong.

誰も一人にはなりたくないんだ それが人生だ 分かるか
Nobody wants to be alone; that's what life is like, you know.

人生はきっと自分のしたい ことのためにあるんだけど
Life is definitely for doing what you want, but...

だから時間があると思う人は まだ何かできると思う人は 今のうちにうんとたくさん 心の財産を 増やしておくといいと思う
...so I think those people who think they still have time to do things should increase their spiritual wealth while they can.

そうすれば君には持って待っている その夢にきっとたどり着ける 僕はそう信じてる
Then you'll have what you need to reach your dreams, and I believe that.

そして君のために そう祈って歌い続けてる
So I keep singing and praying for you.

そして最後にあの時 ステージ降りてから ずっと考えた 今日この日何を言えばいいか
And finally, the moment I stepped off the stage, I've been thinking about what to say on this day.

それはどんな困難にも 負けないでいつまでも 夢を捨てないで
That is to never give up your dreams, never losing to any kind of hardship.

君達へ僕からの 精一杯の愛情を込めて いつまでも歌い続けることを 約束します 今日は本当にどうもありがとう
I promise to keep singing my love for you all, and thank you all. Thank you very much for today.
