Shogo Hamada - 路地裏の少年 (Rojiura no Shonen) versuri traducere în engleză

Translation

The Back Alley Boy

Went down to the school at midnight
And engraved my goodbye on the wall
On the platform of a train station at dawn
Looked for her but my teary eyes were too blurry to see
A note on my desk, 'I'm going on the road'
I'm taking my harmonica, and a little bit of change in my pocket
Dreams broken for no reason
Falling out of my hands
That was me at 16
Standing in the back alley, looking up at the distant sky
 

A part-time job
It was midnight by the time I was on the train home to Yokohama
A second-hand acoustic guitar
Sitting by my window
Strumming 'Blowing In The Wind' that I'd just learned
Me and my friends, talking about our dreams in that tiny room
Saying that one day, this country will come to its senses
Without knowing even the meaning of betrayal
Dreams broken for no reason
Fell right out of my hands
That was me at 18
Waiting in the back alley, with a hunched back
 

The tall red-brown wall of a factory
I leaned against on my way home
'I'm doing fine', it said
The very first letter I'd written to my mother back home
Confused by the fever of a new love
Spending our time together night after night
Not knowing even the meaning of tenderness
Dreams broken for no reason, falling out of my hands
That was me at 21
Holding her small shoulders in the back alley
 

The songs I'd sing were always the sad ones
With the unrequited love wringing my heart
Answering the voices calling my name again today
Dreams broken for no reason, falling out of my hands
 

Here I am at 22
Knowing for the first time what it all means, in the dead-end alley
