The possibility of life

Tell yesterday goodbye you know
Today this is a brand new show

The possibility of life
The possibility of life

Rainbows to the east
A silky samba beat
Dancing eyes and dancing feet
We see a pure moon rise

Like a melody
Insistent and so sweet
A question to the answer in your eyes

Shifting towords the mist
The secret of a kiss
A closing of the distance
Is there a sweeter prize?

The chill as we begin
The stillness seems a sin
All those scenes
We used to fantasize

There's every possibility of life
And so much there to see
And when you don't expect it to
Something good takes hold of you

The summer sky at dusk alone
A voice remembered on the phone
A cup of coffee with my friend
Oh God I hope this never ends

The possibility of life
The possibility of life

The possibility of life

Tell yesterday goodbye you know
Today this is a brand new show

The possibility of life
A home, A heart, A family
This is the way it's supposed to be

The possibility of life

Tell yesterday goodbye you know
Today this is a brand new show

The possibility of life
A home, A heart, A family
This is the way it's supposed to be



人生の可能性

昨日にさようなら
まさに今日が新しいショーの始まり

人生の可能性
人生の可能性

東に向かって虹が架かり
つやのあるサンバのビート
ダンスに揺れる瞳と足
けがれのない月が上がるのを見る

メロディのように
強く主張し、とても素敵
キミの瞳の中に答えを求める

霧に向って移動しながら
秘密のキス
距離を縮めながら
これ以上のご褒美があるのかい？

始めは怖気付くけど
じっとしているのは罪なこと
いずれの場面も
よく空想に浸ったものだね

人生にはあらゆる可能性がある
そして、それはたくさん見えてくるものだ
キミが期待していないときも
何か良いことがキミに起こるものなのさ

夏の空のたそがれどきにひとり
電話で聞いた声
友達と飲んだコーヒー
これがいつまでも続くようにと願う

人生の可能性
人生の可能性

人生の可能性

昨日にさようなら
まさに今日が新しいショーの始まり

人生の可能性
家、心、家族
これがさだめ

人生の可能性

昨日にさようなら
まさに今日が新しいショーの始まり

人生の可能性
家、心、家族
これがさだめ

A stick, a stone,
It's the end of the road,
It's the rest of a stump,
It's a little alone

It's a sliver of glass,
It is life, it's the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It's a trap, it's a gun

The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush

The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all

It's the wind blowing free,
It's the end of the hope,
It's a beam, it's a void,
It's a hunch, it's a hope

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of the strain,
It's the joy in your heart

The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot's stone

A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow

The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It's a loss, it's a find

A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale

A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night

A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
It's a cold, it's the mumps

The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It's the mud, it's the mud

A float, a drift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart

A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It's a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe

A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night

A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain

A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart

A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road

A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the end of all strain,
It's the joy in your heart

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It's the promise of life

The joy in your heart
It's the joy in your heart

They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight
They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbor's fight

Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
Become essential things that women find so apropos

But that's a dame
They're all the same
It's just a game

They call it
Girl talk, girl talk

They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends
The who, the how, the why -- they dish the dirt, it never ends

The weaker sex, the "speaker" sex, we mortal males behold
And though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold

So baby stay and gab away
But hear me say
That after
Girl talk, girl talk
Talk to me



彼女たちは、今夜のドレスを何にしようか、なんておしゃべりが大好き
髪の毛の編み方や、お隣さんのけんかをネタに油を売ってる

男にとっては、ホント、どうでもいいこと
ところが、女にとっては、とても大事なことらしい

でも、それが女というものさ
みんな同じ
つまり、ゲームなんだな

彼女たちはこう言うんだ
「ガール・トークよ」って

彼女たちは、あの娘はどうした、こうしたって話で、にゃあにゃあと騒ぐんだ
「えー、誰が？」、「へえ、どうやって？」、「なんで、なんで？」などと、ゴシップ撒き散らかし放題
まったくキリがない

女が集まると、まあ、しゃべる、しゃべる
男は死ぬまでこれに付き合わせられるんだ
ま、ジョークだけどね
いくら金を積まれても、キミたちを手放したりなんかしないよ

だから、お願い、ここにいて
どうぞ、おしゃべりなさって
だけど、聞こえるかい？
「ガール・トーク、ガール・トーク」
俺にも話しかけてくれよ！

So bright and young
Haute girl suspects she's beautiful
Her eyes give it away
Yes, they betray her innocence

Living in a dream
She walks along the avenue
The aura is extreme
The hunger extraordinary

So close to fabulous
Haute girl has got an attitude
A pretty cover up
Of lovely insecurity

It guards her tender heart
And still her tender heart
Cries out

Perhaps she lost
Someone she loves
Someone who had to leave
For just his own heart's sake
His last best chance for life
His last best choice

Perhaps he wept
As he walked away
There is a god in heaven
She knows will bring her love

And sweetness in her life
Haute girl believes her fantasy
In every sense she has
Her wishes are spectacular
We'll find you fascinating
Haute girl



とても聡明で若い
だけど、上流階級の女の子は、どうも自分の美しさに自信がないらしい
彼女の目が物語っている
そう、周りの人間は、彼女の純真さを利用しているんだ

夢の世界に生きながら
彼女は通りを歩いている
そのオーラは半端じゃない
満たされない気持ちは尋常じゃない

すてきなことに出会うと
上流階級の女の子は構えてしまうんだ
自分の自信なさを隠そうとするあまり

それは彼女の優しい心を守るため
彼女の傷つきやすい心は、ほら、泣いている――

たぶん、彼女はフラれたんだ
好きな人に
さよならしなきゃいけなかったんだ
「後生だから・・・」とかなんとか言われてさ
彼にとっては人生で最大のチャンスだったのに
これ以上の選択はない、というわけさ

たぶん、彼も泣いているよ
歩き出したらね
拾う神もいることだろう
その気になれば、また恋だってできるんだ、彼女には分かるのさ

人生の中で一番美しいとき
上流階級の女の子はファンタジーを信じている
ある意味ね
彼女の願望は途方もない
何か魅惑的なことを探してあげよう
上流階級の女の子



※≪haute≫は、おそらくフランス語に語源を有する言葉で、本来、「高い」「上流の」「金持ちの」といった意味を表すものと思われますが、この曲との関係では、なかなかしっくり来る訳語を見つけることができませんでした。
