中島みゆき「私の子供になりなさい」
全歌詞
The stone under the rock will never get any credit
There's such days, there's such days
Tomorrow comes only for tomorrow
Men have many secrets to keep from women
When you are exhausted I will hold you until you become fine
Stop being difficult saying it's love or affection
Just be like my child
Stop being difficult saying it's love or affection
Just be like my child
Stop being difficult saying it's love or affection
Just be like my child
Stop being difficult saying it's love or affection
Just be like my child
The more they get to know each other then realize
That they are from two different places
Every day their nerves take them to their edges
But don't know how to talk it over
She goes back to down town, he goes to up town
Then finally they realize for their first time
That they don't belong there
Down Town Queen and Up Town Rebel
Down Town Queen vs Up Town Rebel
Why don't you compromise one more time
No trains to up town from down town
No trains to down town from up town
So she walks up, he walks down
They decide to go toward each other on their own
Down Town Queen and Up Town Rebel
Down Town Queen vs Up Town Rebel
Why don't you compromise one more time
If it's easy to cry
It will be easy to feel pain
But man sometimes hide tears
Behind his smile
Rocks, trees, waters, such humble things
Stay with me close to my life, please
Bring the fire closer to reveal the sorrows
That come over and over
On you, on me, on everyone else
LIFE has another name and that is HEART
You've get one, I've got one, no matter how small we are
Rocks, trees, waters, such humble things
Stay with me close to my life, please
Bring the fire closer to reveal the sorrows
That come over and over
On you, on me, on everyone else
LIFE has another name and that is HEART
You've get one, I've got one, no matter how small we are
Bring the fire closer to reveal the sorrows
That come over and over
On you, on me, on everyone else
LIFE has another name and that is HEART
You've get one, I've got one, no matter how small we are
There are countless battles in this world
And they are made by winners and losers
So what do you need to protect yourself from?
Do you think I would harm you?
I admire you, yet I am intimidated by you
I bet you think that otherwise I would run away
'Cause you don't realize that I am on your side no matter what
Streams, streams of our innocent heats
Even we forgot our very first drop of love
Streams, may we be one naturally flowing
Streams, streams of our innocent heats
Even we forgot our very first drop of love
Streams, may we be one naturally flowing
We are Together in the spring
And are frustrated at uncertain things
As the spring passes by
We are scared at what we had lost
I wish I were by myself
I wish I were alone
I wish my heart were empty
I wish my soul were free
Spring, that's when all the wrong thoughts come across
Because of the spring
We are scared at what we had lost
I wish I were by myself
I wish I were alone
I wish my heart were empty
I wish my soul were free
Spring, that's when all the wrong thoughts come across
We are together in the spring
We are about to lose what we could bring
At one point I must have been in a maze
Looking for any man to be my side
Those days come back and threaten me
To pay the price for the disgraceful actions
If anyone wants revenge, go ahead and aim at me
I will entice them and keep them away from you
I do it to make sure no one harms you
You may not like it if you think I'm deceitful
Anything can keep me away from you
But my heart will always belong to you
And I will remain the same even if my breath should be taken away
If anyone wants revenge, go ahead and aim at me
I will entice them and keep them away from you
I do it to make sure no one harms you
You may not like it if you think I'm deceitful
Anything can keep me away from you
But my heart will always belong to you
And I will remain the same even if my breath should be taken away
This feeling should never be shown
I won't be able to remain as a friend
Trying to act as natural as I can
My heart is getting filled with more pain
Even a joke about nothing makes me nervous
I thought they were talking about me
You don't know, from so far away
You don't know, with all my devotion
I watch you but you don't even notice me
To you I mean less than the birds by the window
You don't know, from so far away
You don't know, with all my devotion
I watch you but you don't even notice me
At all, at all...... You don't know
As I go one more block, another block
I might be going away from you
But my steps become faster
Because I don't want anyone to stop me but you
I will recognize your voice right away
Even if the place is filled with the noises of people and music
Where are you now, I wonder
Wherever you are, you aren't thinking of me so it doesn't matter
There are so many people out here
But you aren't here, anywhere
I don't want to leave yet
I'm still on the street, filled with so many people
I don't want to leave yet
How nice that everyone else has found the one they belong to
There are so many people out here
But you aren't here, anywhere
I weave my way as I go
Remembering good days of long ago
My heart is drifting in the sea of lights
Holding one or two fond memories from those nights
The sea of night lights, it's so generous
The sea by its name makes one generous
Dear seagull, I wish you could tell me
If your snow white waving wings are inviting me over or saying good-bye
This is a sea with reflections of what
Seem to be forgotten yet stay in my mind
Where shall I return, where shall I return
Without knowing where I belong to, just floating away
I weave my way as I go
Remembering good days of long ago
My heart is drifting in the sea of lights
Holding one or two fond memories from those nights
The sea of night lights, it's so generous
The sea by its name makes one generous
Where shall I return, where shall I return
Without knowing where I belong to, just floating away
I weave my way as I go
Remembering good days of long ago
My heart is drifting in the sea of lights
Holding one or two fond memories from those nights
The sea of night lights, it's so generous
The sea by its name makes one generous
The weather report said that it would snow here tomorrow
Even though it was not that season
That was 5:30 am, it was after dawn, the sun ablaze
With my eyes half open, I changed the channel
LIVE REPORT, the screen said, and the huge blast came into my eyes
In that moment, the white flat stone building that became familiar to me over the past months
Was in the explosion with orange flame
The haze had risen slowly
The white smoke turned dusty and bellowed out of the building
All of a sudden, people are reminded that
Today is not the same after yesterday
They looking figures in black went into the scene then ducked, crawled, and shots rang out
I could neither ignore or resist what was happening on the TV
I just tried to listen to what they were truing to tell us
I tried to listen
An ambulance pulled over and opened its door to wait for them
Some were on stretchers, some were on the shoulders of others
Those with white shirts were pulled out from the building
An excited reporter shouted “the Japanese were rescued”
Voices of the TV directors and the engineers were flying all over the report
The report continued that the hostages were waving their hands,
That they looked good, that they were smiling
Then a group of people in black outfits rushed out surrounding a stretcher
The reporter continued to report cheerfully
That the Japanese were waving their hands
A dust covered soldier was on the stretcher with his arm hanging out and his ankle joggled
The red stain spread on his chest
His shotgun was placed on his body by another soldier's shaky hand
The stretcher was quickly removed
The excited reporter continued with joy that the Japanese were waving their hands
No word of mention whatsoever about the dust covered soldier, not ever a word
The live report to make the families of the Japanese hostage relieved went on and on
But I wondered “didn't he have a father, a mother, a wife, or children?”
Yes, he, that blackened soldier, that dust covered soldier
I who live here can never learn what that country's Justice is
I who live here can never judge what that battle was about
Our nation was very happy for those rescued Japanese hostages
It didn't matter if we knew them or not
But then, why couldn't we pay any attention and show respect for the foreign soldier
He, who had saved the hostages and had never met before
This country is barely trustworthy
We will repeat the same mistakes over and over
Claiming for peace
We can be so careless about things that have nothing to do with Japan
People reveal their real faces in a panic
That incident has ended in that country
My fear and doubt about this country started to build inside of me
Like dark smoke and flame
4. 2. 3...... 4. 2. 3......
“All the Japanese hostages were rescued safely”
4. 2. 3...... 4. 2. 3......
4. 2. 3...... 4. 2. 3......
