ある日小さな村に旅する
One day, a traveler came to a little village,
吟遊詩人が訪れた
A wandering minstrel made his visit,
まだ若い少女で
She was still a young girl,
旅も慣れてなかったけど
Though she wasn't used to the journey yet,
歌には自信がある
Her songs filled her with confidence,
少女は村の中央にある広場に座り
The girl sat in the square at the village's heart,
リュートを弾き唄い始めた
Strumming her lute, she began to sing,
でも誰ひとり出てこなかった
But no one came out at all,
聞こえていないのか
Are they not hearing her?
悩んだ末に出てこないなら
In the end, if they don't come out after all her worries...
無理矢理でも聞こえるようにと
To be heard even forcibly,
雷鳴のように叫び唱った
I screamed and chanted like thunder.
それがみんなの心を震わせた
It stirred everyone's hearts.
出てきた村人たちは
The villagers who came out,
みんな不気味な形をしてた
All had eerie shapes.
少し恐かったけどやがて
Though it was a bit scary at first, eventually,
打ち解けてた 歌を唄うたびに
We warmed up, every time we sang.
「こんなわたしたちを見ても
"To see us like this,
逃げないとは大したもんだ」
It's something to not run away!"
そう言う杖つくお爺さんが
Said the old man with a cane.
村長だった 事情を聞いてみた
I asked the village chief about the situation.
昔愚かな青年が居て
Once there was a foolish young man
国王の娘と恋をした
I fell in love with the king's daughter.
ふたりで駆け落ちを企てたけど
We planned to run away together, but
その途中で捕まってしまった
I got caught along the way
国王は冷たく言い放った
The king coldly declared.
「こいつとその子孫にまで及ぶ
This will reach him and his descendants too
異形の呪いをかけて野に捨てろと」
"Cast the curse of the aberration and throw it to the wild"
ある日みんなが言ってくれた
One day everyone said to me
「あなたの歌には不思議な力がある
Your song has a mysterious power.
曲がってた骨もこんな真っ直ぐに
Even my bent bones are this straight now,
もうすぐ治りそうだ」
It seems like I’ll be healed soon.
毎日こうしてこの村で
Every day like this in this village,
歌を聴かせてあげれれば
If I could share my songs with you,
呪いも解ける日が来る、
The day when the curse will break will come,
そう思い始めてた
I started to think so.
なんの迷いもなく
Without a single doubt,
だけどその噂が広まり
But the rumors began to spread,
騎士が馬に乗りやってきて
And a knight rode in on his horse,
少女を連れ去って
To take away the girl.
城の深い牢獄に閉じこめた
I locked you away in the deep dungeon of the castle.
国王が現れ「その力は
The king appears and says, 'That power is
私のために使え」と言う
They say, 'Use it for me.'
そんなのお断りだ!
No thanks to that!
「ならそこで一生過ごすといい」と
Then it's good to spend your whole life there.
告げ立ち去った
I announced and walked away
泣いてなんかいられない
I can't afford to cry
ここからでも歌を唄おう
Let's sing a song even from here
あの時も届いた さあ始めよう
Back then it reached me, now let's begin
《終わりのない歌》を
To the "Endless Song"
長い長い時が過ぎた
A long, long time has passed
村にもまた春が訪れ
Spring has returned to the village once more
子供たちは輪になり伝承の歌を謡う
The children form a circle and sing the songs of old
旅人が残した
Left behind by the traveler
少女はまだ旅をしてた
The girl is still on her journey
もちろん大好きな歌を唄い
Of course, singing my favorite songs
神様 叶うのなら
Oh God, if you could grant this wish
あの村でもう一度みんなに会いたい
I want to meet everyone in that village once again
もうこの世にあたしはいないけれど
Though I may no longer exist in this world
