Yoko Kanno THE REAL FOLK BLUES Lyrics

愛してたと嘆くには
あまりにも時は過ぎてしまった
まだ心のほころびを
癒せぬまま 風が吹いてる

ひとつの目で明日を見て
ひとつの目で昨日を見つめてる
君の愛の揺りかごで
もう一度 安らかに眠れたら

乾いた瞳で誰か泣いてくれ

THE REAL FOLK BLUES
本当の悲しみが知りたいだけ
泥の河に浸かった人生も悪くはない
一度きりで 終わるなら

希望に満ちた絶望と
罠が仕掛けられてるこのチャンス
何がよくて悪いのか
コインの表と裏みたいだ

どれだけ生きれば いやされるのだろう

THE REAL FOLK BLUES
本当の歓びが知りたいだけ
光るものの全てが黄金とは限らない

THE REAL FOLK BLUES
本当の悲しみが知りたいだけ
泥の河に浸かった人生も悪くはない
一度きりで 終わるなら

...

Aishiteta to nageku ni wa
Amari ni mo toki wa sugi te shimatta
Mada kokoro no hokorobi o
Iyasenumama kaze ga fuiteru

Hitotsu no me de asu o mite
Hitotsu no me de kinou mitsumeteru
Kimi no ai no yurikagode
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara

Kawaita hitomi de dareka na itekure

The real folk blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai
Ichido kiri de owarunara

Kibou ni michita zetsuboto
Wanagashikakerareteru kono chansu
Nani ga yoku te warui no ka
Koin no omoi to kuramitaita

Dore dake ikireba iyasareru no darou
The real folk blues
Honto no yorokobi ga shiritai dake
Hikaru mono no subete ga ougen to wa kagiranai

The real folk blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai
Ichido kiri de owarunara

English Translation

Too much time has passed by to
lament that we were deeply in love
The wind keeps blowing, while my heart
cannot heal all the tears in it
Watching tomorrow with one eye
while keeping the other on yesterday
If only I could peacefully sleep
in the cradle of your love, again

Someone, cry for me with parched eyes

The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
isn't such a bad life
if it ends after the first time
Despair filled with hope
and this chance with a trap set
What's right or wrong?
It's like two sides of a coin

How long must I live till I'm healed

The real folk blues
I only want to know true happiness is
All that glitters is not gold

The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
isn't such a bad life
if it ends after the first time
