ねえ 生まれてきた日を 思い出せるかい
Hey, do you remember the day you were born?
シナリオの 最初の台詞を
The first line of the script,
舞台は巡り 演劇は続く
The stage goes round and the play goes on.
楽屋には サンタマリアがいない
In the dressing room, Santa Maria is not here.
最初で最後の歌を 上手く歌えないのに
Even though I can't sing the first and last song well,
監督たちは 沈黙を守る
The directors keep their silence.
脚本の終わりは 書きあがっていない
The end of the screenplay isn’t written yet.
祈る様に 僕は口を開いた
I opened my mouth as if to pray.
「千年後の未来には 僕らは生きていない
"In a thousand years, we won't be alive.
友達よ いつの日も 愛してるよ きっと」
My friend, I will always love you, surely."
誰かが待っている 僕らの物語を
Someone is waiting for our story to unfold
背骨をなくした 大きな機械が
A giant machine devoid of a spine
美しく 都市を跨いでいく
Gracefully crosses over the cityscape
屋台は崩れ 照明が落ちる
The stalls collapse as the lights go out
観客は 白い眼
The audience with their white eyes
列なす様に 演劇は続く
In orderly lines, the play goes on
今も新たに 羊は迷う
Even now, anew, the sheep wander
堪うる限りに 歌を歌おう
As long as I can endure, I will sing my song
フィルムは回り続けている
The film keeps rolling on
「千年後の未来には 僕らは生きていない
"In the future a thousand years ahead, we won't be alive"
友達よ いつの日も 愛してるよ きっと」
My friend, always and forever, I love you, surely.
「君の持つ寂しさが 遥かな時を超え
The loneliness you carry crosses distant times,
誰かを救うその日を 待っているよ ずっと」
Waiting for the day you save someone, always.
誰かが待っている 僕らの物語を
Someone is waiting for our story to unfold.
