lyrics

新しい歌

緑輝く草原の果てしなく遠いはずれに　
風のように早駆ける馬が住むという　
もつれたたてがみは墨色の黒　
熾火思わせ揺れてる茶色の瞳　
蹄の跡にアルファベット残し走る灰色の雌馬

喉を潤し佇む水辺の草陰に潜む邪な
狩人は四人のならず者を銀貨二枚で引き連れていた
高いピッチの口笛を合図に一斉に躍り出る
ぐるりを囲まれ馬は驚いて低くいなないた

浅い眠りを覚まされた旅人はそれを見てあくびひとつ
”おぉ人の世の虚しさよ、俺の行く先トラブルばかりだ”
枕にしてた壊れたギター手に取り水辺へと下りながら
調子を整え歌いだした人殺しのバラード

さぁ、睨み合う六人と一頭　いま陽は高く高く昇り
ライロ、ライロのリフレインで歌が終わりに近づいたその時
プルシャンブルーの空を背に血飛沫を上げくずおれる狩人
その目が最後に捉えたのは逃げて行く四人のならず者

さて、蠅が忙しく飛び廻る血溜りの上の壊れたギター
拾い上げ旅人は雌馬に乗って走り去って行った
いくつもの丘を越え　砂を蹴り国を過ぎ　
陽は落ちいま風は冷たく頬を撫ではじめた
夜の草の匂い、汗の匂い　走り続ける馬の背中から
振り返った旅人が目にしたのは月の明りに照らされた
無数のアルファベット
蹄の跡に残された数えきれないアルファベット
それは誰も知らない言葉、聴いたことのない歌
それは新しい歌

In a far edge of a prairie
They say there is a horse that runs fast like the wind
The mane tangled and black as ink,
Shaking pupils of brown like blazing fire
A lone gray mare, she runs leaving alphabets after her hooves

One day, an evil hunter was lurking in the grass
behind the water's edge
Nestled was the mare, she moisten her throat with water
The hunter had four exiles in tow by just two pieces of silver
To the signal, the high-pitched whistle,
They all jumped from behind simultaneously
Being surrounded by the five, the mare neighed low

Awakened from the shallow sleep by the noise
A wayfarer yawns "Oh, Nothingness is the world of people.
How come troubles always come to me."
Tuning the guitar which he used as a pillow
He went down to the water's edge, slowly
Then began to sing the melancholy ballad of murder

Now, the six glare at each other, the sun rose higher and higher
At the time the song was coming to the end with a refrain of
La-i-lo, La-i-lo
The hunter suddenly dropped on his knees
Splashing blood all over under the prussian blue sky
His eyes caught at the end was the scene
that his four rogues were on the run

Well, on the pool of blood, the guitar was lying broken
Flies were buzzing around
The wayfarer picked it up and went ran away on the lone gray mare
Over the hills they go, kicking the sand, past the country
The sun fell, and now a cold wind began stroking their cheeks
The smells of grass at night, the smells of sweat, they keep running
And he looked back, he saw myriads of alphabets illuminated
by the moon-light
The countless alphabets were left after her hooves
Those are the words nobody knows
A song which was never heard
It was a new song
