Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - The Sun Is Down

THE SUN IS DOWN

The sun is down
The sun is down
It’s getting so dark

落ちた太陽
落ちた太陽
しのびよる夜の闇

Where are the stars?
Where is the moon?
The star should shine the river
Maybe the river is even too cold for them

星はどこに
月はどこに
星は川を照らすはず
川の水は、、星にさえ冷たすぎるのかしら

The sun is down
The sun is down
It’s getting so dark

太陽が落ちて
すべてが暗闇に

That mirror
Oh that mirror
I’m throwing away the mirror in the river
I don’t need it (no), I can walk without it (yeah)
It’s time for me to go for a walk

鏡よ鏡よ、すべての鏡よ
私は 鏡は、川に捨てるわ
必要ないもの（ないわ）
鏡なしで歩けるもの（そうよ）
そろそろ散歩に、、、行く時間だわ

The sun is down
The sun is down
It’s getting so dark
Does that matter?
Yeah, I like it
I did it in my own terms..

かまわない？
そう、それでいいのよ
自分のしたいようにしたわ

When I’m alone
I like to walk caressed by the wind
And nobody else

私を優しくなでる風だけと
歩いていたい
ほかには誰もいらない

The sun is down
The sun is down
In a secret garden

日が落ちる
日は落ちる
宵闇が空気を満たす
陽は落ちる。。
秘密の庭に
