Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY

BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY

Water evaporates, comes back as rain
You evaporate, and I’ll never see you again
Hopefully
Don’t come near me, you are a soul eater
Your hands are wet with tears

水は蒸発して、雨となって帰ってくる
あなたも蒸発する
そしてまた出会うことはないわ
そうだといいわ
近くに寄らないで
魂を吸おうとしているでしょう
あなたの手は涙で濡れている

Oh no! don’t touch me
You soul eater
I smell it, I smell it all
Your hands are wet with tears

だめ、触らないで
魂を吸いにこないで
ここからでも匂うわ
あなたの手は涙で濡れている

Between the sky in my head
There is the sound of earth turning
Remember the birds…

空と私の頭の間に
地球の回る音がある
鳥をおぼえているかしら、、

This line is moving fast
This line is only in my head
This line is from a very distant past
And this line is slipping
This line is connected to a thousand universes

この線は、すごい早さで動いている
この線は私の頭の中にある
この線は遠い過去から続いている
この線はすべっている
この線は数えきれないほどの宇宙に続いている

Your hands are wet with tears
Faster, faster, faster
We're gonna get out of the past

あなたの手は涙で濡れている
早く、早く
過去から逃げ出そう

What… wa wa wa wa what..?
When I’m in Vienna
I go to Café Klein
All my friends are still sitting there
From the last century

Oh quick quick, get out from the back door like he used to
The soul eater's here again
Hey man, my friends are safe now
Yeah

ウィーンに行くときはクラインカフェに行くの
私の友達たちは、前世紀からまだそこに座っているわ
ほら急いで、急いで、裏口から逃げましょう
わかった？私の友達たちはもう安全よ。

Water evaporates and becomes air
But your heart stays wet with fears

水は蒸発して空気になるけど
あなたの手は、まだ恐怖で濡れている

Don’t forget the earth line….

地球の線を忘れないで

The prison is made of ice,
And it melts in the Spring
The castle is made of clay
And it will crumble in time

檻は氷でできている
いずれ春には溶ける
城は土でできている
いずれは時とともに朽ちていく
