Lyrics Translation

[ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATIONの「さよならロストジェネレイション」歌詞]

「将来の夢を持て」なんて無責任な物言いも
1986に膨らんだ泡と一緒に弾けたの

「何もないです」
それで「ロスト・ジェネレイション」か
忘れないで
僕らずっと此処でそれでも生きているの
息しているよ

「経済は底を打つはず」と博打打ちが煽るけれど
2010は僕たちを一体何処へ連れてくの

何もないです
それならそうで
拗ねていないで この檻を出よう

「暗いね」って切なくなって
「辛いね」ってそんなこと言わないで
「暗いね」って君が嘆くような時代なんて
もう僕らで終わりにしよう

「願いは叶います」なんて科白が空しく響いても
それでも現在を生きることに何か希望を感じたいような

夢ではないです
頬をつねって
目を見開いて この檻を出よう

「暗いね」って切なくなって
「辛いね」ってそんなこと言わないで
「暗いね」って君が嘆くような時代なんて
もう僕らで終わりにしよう

いつの間にか閉じ込められたのは言葉とこころの檻
自意識に埋もれて僕たちは内側だけを愛でているようだ
神様気取りで深く暗い沼の「自分探し」より
窓を開け その外側は何処へだって続いている

何もないな
嗚呼…何もないさ
そうだ そんなものだ
いつかは全部なくなって
それでもせめて
君に会いに行こう

「暗いね」って切なくなって
「辛いね」ってそんなこと言わないで
「暗いね」って君が嘆くような時代なんて
今日でやめにしよう

それでは足りない?
何が足りないって言うんだろう
言え

"Have a dream for your future," such an irresponsible line
That dream swelled, then burst in 1986

"We have nothing"
That is to say, "We are the Lost Generation"
Please don't forget
We are still here, alive and breathing

Investigators said, "This recession should bottom out"
We surely didn’t know where we would be in 2010

We have nothing
If that is so, then so it is
Don't hang your head, let's break out of this prison

You say, "The world is dark, isn’t it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn't it?"
These times that you complain about, let's end it with us

A line like, "Your dreams come true" sounds like a hollow voice
Even though I want to feel hope in living in the present

It isn't a dream, but reality
Pinch your cheek
And open your eyes, let's get out of this prison

You say, "The world is dark, isn't it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn’t it?"
These times that you complain about, let’s end it with us

Unknowingly shut into a prison by a word in our mind
It seems we are falling deeper into our self-consciousness and only loving ourselves
Don't pretend to be God, searching for yourself in the deep, dark marsh
Open your window, every road leads to everywhere

I have nothing
Ah... and there is nothing
That’s right, it is reality
Someday, even if everything disappears
I want to see you still

You say, "The world is dark, isn't it?" and it makes me sad
Please don't say to me, "Life is hard, isn't it?"
These times that you complain about, let’s end it today

Are you satisfied?
If you didn't get enough
Tell me
