Let’s become the wind.
Title: かぜのゆくえ (Whereabouts of the Wind)
Circle: 凋叶棕 (Diao ye zong)
Album: 随 (Compliance)
そっと地撫でる箒の先に
ちいさなちいさなかぜがうまれて
ちいさなかぜははこばれてゆく
このおおきなせかいのどこかへと
sotto chi naderu houki no saki ni
chiisana chiisana kaze ga umarete
chiisana kaze wa hakobarete yuku
kono ookina sekai no doko ka he to
The tiny, tiny wind was born from
Under the broom I’ve been sweeping the ground with
This tiny wind keeps blowing
Somewhere in this big, big world
こぼれることばはこぶあしおと
めにうつるすべてのもののさきに
だれかの意味がなにかの意味が
かぜといっしょにはこばれていく
koboreru kotoba hakobu ashioto
me ni utsuru subete no mono no saki ni
dare ka no imi ga nanika no imi ga
kaze to issho ni hakobarete iku
Overflowing words, moving footsteps.
All of the things reflecting in my eyes:
Someone’s meaning, something’s meaning;
They were all blown together with that wind
ーーー誰かが耳を澄ますとき
ーーー誰かの頬を撫でるように
ーーー誰かの髪を揺らしては
ーーー誰かのむねにふいていく
dare ka ga mimi wo sumasu toki
dare ka no hoo wo naderu you ni
dare ka no kami wo yurashite wa
dare ka no mune ni fuite iku
Times when someone listens carefully,
As if it brushed someone’s cheek gently.
Swaying someone’s hair
And blowing right through someone’s chest
かぜのおと
だれかのおと
なんでもない一日から
どこかからまたふいてくる
だれかがいるからふいてくる
kaze no oto
dare ka no oto
nande mo nai ichi nichi kara
doko ka kara mata fuitekuru
dare ka ga iru kara fuitekuru
The sound of the wind
Sound of someone.
Even though it’s such an ordinary day
That wind keeps blowing somewhere
It keeps blowing because of that someone
そのゆくえ
かぜのまにまに
今日を明日へ向かって
ふしぎを聴くその間に間に
もうどこかへ消えて行く
sono yukue
kaze no manima ni
kyou wo ashita he mukatte
fushigi wo kiku sono manima ni
mou doko ka he kiete iku
Its whereabouts
On the mercy of the wind
Heading from today to tomorrow
While I am listening to the miracles,
It disappeared yet again somewhere.
だれかがいて なにかがいる
そうしてまたうまれるかぜはどこへ
dare ka ga ite nanika ga iru
soushite mata umareru kaze wa doko he
Someone exist. Something exists.
And the wind that was born again, where will it go?
そうして日が落ち夜に沈んで
夢の中をさまようときでさえ
なにかをきいてなにかにふれる
どこからともなくふくかぜによせーーー。
soushite hi ga ochi yoru ni shizunde
yume no naka wo samayou toki de sae
nani ka wo kiite nani ka ni fureru
doko kara tomo naku fuku kaze ni yose
And thus the day sets, so the night can fall.
Even when I’m wandering deep in my dreams
I hear something, I touch something,
Together with the wind blowing from nowhere.
ずっとみていたずっときいていた
つどうもののそのなにひとつさえ
ききもらさぬようみうしなわぬよう
かぜがはこぶそのいみのすべてを
zutto miteita zutto kiiteita
tsudou mono no sono nani hitotsu sae
kikimorasanu you miushinawanu you
kaze ga hakobu sono imi no subete wo
It’s always been watching. It’s always been listening.
And everything it meets
So they wouldn’t fail to hear it, so they wouldn’t lose a sight of it
That wind will carry their meaning as well
ーーー誰かが何かを持っていて。
ーーー誰かが何かに浮かれて。
ーーー誰かが何かを想って。
ーーー誰かが何かを見ていて。
dareka ga nani ka wo motteite.
dareka ga nani ka ni ukarete.
dareka ga nani ka wo omotte.
dareka ga nani ka wo miteite.
Someone keeps waiting for something.
Someone’s cheered up by something.
Someone thinks about something.
Someone keeps looking at something.
かぜのおと
なにかのおと
すがたもみえないなにかさえ
このかぜはあなたのかぜ
そんな予感だけふいてくる
kaze no oto
nani ka no oto
sugata mo mienai nani ka sae
kono kaze wa anata no kaze
sonna yokan dake fuitekuru
The sound of the wind
Sound of someone.
Even the shape of something I can’t clearly see
“That wind is the wind of you”
That thought became like a blowing wind
そのゆくえ
ひとのまにまに。
今日も明日があるなら
うまれるひとの間に間に
そしてまたどこかへと
sono yukue
hito no manima ni.
kyou mo ashita ga aru nara
umareru hito no manima ni
soshite mata doko ka he to
Its whereabouts
On the mercy of people
If there is a tomorrow after today
Those winds are born among people
And they keep blowing toward somewhere…
遥か届かぬ時間へ
遠く見えない場所へ
haruka todokanu toki he
tooku mienai basho he
Towards a far away time…
Towards a far, unseen place…
だれかからまただれかへ
なにかからまたなにかへ
全てがつながりゆくように
dare ka kara mata dare ka he
nanika kara mata nani ka he
subete ga tsunagariyuku you ni
From one person to another,
From one thing to another,
Binding everything together
そのゆくえ
かぜのまにまに
今日も明日もこえて
それでもかくも真に真に
たしかにいま吹いている
sono yukue
kaze no manima ni
kyou mo ashita mo koete
soredemo kaku mo manima ni
tashika ni ima fuite iru
Its whereabouts
On the mercy of the wind
Crossing over today and tomorrow.
But really, more than anything
I’m sure that it blows somewhere!
今日も始まる
ーーーかぜよはこんで。わたしがまだ知らない何かのこと。
kyou mo hajimaru
kaze yo hakonde. watashi ga mada shiranai nani ka no koto.
Today begins.
Oh, please, may the wind blow! May it carry something I don’t know yet about.
