lyrics

カサブランカ

こうしたすべてのことに疲れて俺はここへ来た
海を見下ろす丘の上、小さなこの部屋に
窓辺に据えたテーブルと椅子と一杯のコーヒー
その他には、もう何もいらなかった

いまお前が坂道を歩いてくるのが見える
海を見下ろしながら後ろ向きに
この部屋に着いたら、ひとつきりの椅子を譲ってあげる
そしてコーヒーを淹れに行くと言い残してここを出てゆく

そのときお前はこの窓から眺めるだろうか
汗をかき辿ってきた、光射すその松の小道を？
それともテーブルの上、書き付けたこの言葉を
読むだろうか、この部屋に来た証しとして？

だが俺はもう、ここにはいないよ
魚を捕る男たちの舟に混じって銀色に輝く海を滑り
見知らぬ港で道を尋ねた女と寝て
亭主の服に身を包み、裏庭を抜けてそっと出てゆく

そのときお前はこの窓から眺めるだろうか
汗をかき辿ってきた、光射すその松の小道を？
それともテーブルの上、書き付けたこの言葉を
読むだろうか、この部屋に来た証しとして？

So tired of all this, I came here, babe
This small room at the top of a hill by the sea
A table and a chair laid by the window, and a nice cup of coffee
I didn't need any other

Now, I'm watching you coming up the hill
You are walking backwards overlooking the sea
When you get here, I'll hand over this only chair I have
Then get out of here, saying
"I'm gonna make you some coffee"

Oh at that time, will you look over the lane from this window
The lane of pine you are walking with sweat right now?
Or will you read these words I wrote on the table
As an evidence you had come to this room ?

But I won't be here any more, babe
I'll ride in a boat with the guys catching fishes,
slide over the silver waves
Sleep with a woman whom I asked the way at a strange harbor
And again, leave her room in her husband’s suit

Oh at that time, will you look over the lane from this window
The lane of pine you are walking with sweat right now?
Or will you read these words I wrote on the table
As an evidence you had come to this room ?
