Sakakibara Yoshiko - Johnny's Bar Lyrics
Kowareta yume ga samayou yoru wa
tameiki sae mo koori tsuiteyuku.
Sabita neon no chika ni orireba
kawaranai egao afureru.
makes my dreams turn to ice and shatter.
When I hide underneath the rusted neon sign,
I break out into a frozen smile.
Yume wo nakushita hito ga atsumaru
"Uncle Johnny" no mise no katasumi
soshite itsu shika toki wo wasurete
Johnny no hanashi kiiteiru.
there I saw Uncle Johnny, in the corner of the bar,
and only when I'd forgotten about the time
did I listen to Johnny's story.
"Modorenai jikan wa wasurete shimae yo" to*
Johnny wa itsu no hi mo
waratte itta.
"Kaeritai yume nara mayowazu tobikome yo" to.
Senaka tataku yoru ni
"In my heart, so tenderness"
"It's Johnny's smile"
Johnny had said that day
with a laugh.
"If you want your dreams back, leap and go catch them."
In the night that beats on my back,
and in my heart, such tenderness...
It's Johnny's smile.
Tooi mukashi ni nakushita yume to
warai tobashite hanashite kureta.
Itsumo to onaji mune ate zubon
yasuragi wo kanjiteita.
I was told to skip the laughter.
In knowing that our hearts don the same pants,
I've felt at peace.
"Kanashimi shiru tabi ni hito wa tsuyoku naru yo" to
Johnny wa itsu no hi mo
waratte itta.
"Toki ni wa yarusenai jinsei mo aru mono" to
nagaisu de tsubuyaku.
"In my heart, so loneliness"
"It's Johnny's smile"
Johnny had said that day
with a laugh.
"There's a time when life isn't worth living,"
he mumbled on the couch.
In my heart, such loneliness...
It's Johnny's smile.
* Repeat
On this frigid night, even a sigh
Among the people gathered with their lost dreams,
"Forget about ever getting those times back,"*
When my dreams were lost back then,
"When getting to know sadness, people get stronger,"
* Repeat
こわれた夢がさまよう夜は
ため息さえも氷ついてゆく
錆びたネオンの地下に降りれば
変わらない 笑顔あふれる
夢を失くした 人が集まる
Uncle Johnnyの店の片隅
そしていつしか時間を忘れて
ジョニーの話し聞いている
『戻れない時間は忘れてしまえよ』と＊
ジョニーはいつの日も
笑って言った
『帰りたい夢なら 迷わず飛び込めよ』と
背中 たたく夜に
In my heart, So tenderness
It's Johnny's smile
遠い昔に失くした夢と
笑い飛ばして話してくれた
いつもと同じ胸あてズボン
安らぎを感じていた
『哀しみ知るたびに人は強くなるよ』と
ジョニーはいつの日も
笑って言った
『時にはやるせない人生もあるもの』と
長椅子でつぶやく
In my heart, So loneliness
It's Johnny's smile
