今日はミスチルの「しるし」を英語で歌ってみました♪
今回は英語にするのがちょっと難しかったです！
色々考えて作った英語バージョンを気に入っていただけると嬉しいですヾ(≧∇≦*)ノ
作詞作曲した桜井さんによると、歌詞は恋愛真っ只中の二人の物語、又は別れた二人の物語のどちらにも取れるように書いたそうです。
ちなみにこの「しるし」は、私が一番最初に見た日本のドラマ『１４才の母』の主題歌でした♪
Cover of "Shirushi" by Japanese band Mr.Children.
The title means "symbol" or "proof." According to the band, the lyrics can reflect either a couple in love or a couple who has broken up.

歌詞 / LYRICS

I think I knew it was meant to turn out this way
Since I first felt you drawing near
The way our hearts beat out of time
A tempo just the two of us could hear
No matter what pretty words I may try to say
They all come out sounding like lies
So I will crumple up the letter
To my left brain that I’ve been trying to write
I let my heart’s voice speak
Seeking out your ears, but will it reach?
As it rides along on a silent song…
Darling, darling
There are so many sides of you I’ve come to see
All of them are beautiful and special
Helping me see what true love really means
And now, darling, you’re trying to show me
With such a subtle nuance:
"Uncertainty is only a defense against a broken heart"
Somebody laughed at a photo of us and said,
“Your faces look exactly the same”
I wonder, were we always alike?
Or did we grow alike along the way?
Now that I see how much earnestness I put in
It almost seems crazy to me
Enough to feel a little bit jealous
Of the old, thoughtless me I used to be
I let my heart’s voice speak
Though not a soul will ever hear a peep
But that is okay, it’s better that way
Darling, darling
The you I know has so many faces to show
No matter what I’m doing, I think of you
And feel an ache I never used to know
More than all of the anniversaries
Marked on my calendar page
It’s that part of you filling my mind
One memory at a time, clear as day
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
And sometimes we’re just overwhelmed
But all that is proof of us two and our love
Darling, darling
There are so many sides of you I’ve come to see
And even if one day we can’t be together
I think I’d still love you forever
Darling, darling… oh, my darling
You fill up my mind with memories
So clear that they make me go crazy
Darling, darling
