And the secrets that we shared The mountains that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control ‘Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me oh so tight Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then
Against the wind We were runnin’ against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin’ Against the wind
風に逆らって 俺たちは風に逆らって走った 若くて 強くて 俺たちは風に逆らって 走り続けたんだ
The years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searching Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind I’m still runnin’ against the wind I’m older now but still runnin’ against the wind Well I’m older now and still runnin’ Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind
Against The Wind

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely
she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness
with the radio playing low
まだ昨日のように思い出せるけど
それはだいぶ前のことなんだ
ジェニーはきれいで俺の女王だった
暗い中でラジオから音楽が
小さな音で流れてた
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
‘Til there was nothing left to burn
and nothing left to prove
俺たちは秘密をわかちあい
山を動かすくらい愛し合い
すべて燃え尽くすほど
何も後から証明できないほど
手に負えない山火事のように包まれた
それくらい愛し合ったんだ
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn’t know now
what I didn’t know then
彼女が言ったことを覚えてる
彼女はこんな風に言った
私たちの愛は終わらないって
彼女がどれほど俺を
ぎゅっと抱きしめたか覚えてる
そのとき知らなかったことを
今も知らずにいたかったと思うよ
Against the wind
We were runnin’ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin’
Against the wind
風に逆らって
俺たちは風に逆らって走った
若くて 強くて
俺たちは風に逆らって
走り続けたんだ
The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers
I thought were my friends
I found myself further
and further from my home
年月はゆっくりと流れ行く
気が付けば俺は独りぼっちだ
かつては友と思っていた
見知らぬ奴らに囲まれて
気が付けば故郷を離れ
だいぶ遠くに来てしまったよ
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run
and running to live
Never worryied about paying
or even how much I owed
道を見失ってしまったようだ
沢山の道があったんだけど
走るために生き
生きるために走ってきて
金のことなんて心配したこともなく
持ち物すら気にしてなかった
Moving eight miles a minute
for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules
that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
何カ月もの間 １分間に８マイル
なんて無茶なスピードで
破れるルールはみな破った
俺は自分自身を探し始めたんだ
俺の心の避難所をね
何度も何度も
Against the wind
A little something
against the wind
I found myself
seeking shelter sgainst the wind
風に逆らいながら
小さい何かを大切にして
心の避難所を探そうとしてたんだ
風に逆らいながら
Well those drifter’s days
are past me now
I’ve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
そんなさすらいの日々は過ぎて行った
俺は沢山のことを考えるようになった
越えてはならない死線や約束
何を残しておき
何を捨ててしまうか
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
I’m older now
but still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still runnin’
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
風に逆らって
俺は今だに風に逆らって走ってる
年をとってしまったが
風に逆らって走ってるんだ
もう若くはないが走り続けてる
風に逆らって
向かい風を受けて
風に逆らって
See the young man run
Watch the young man run
Watch the young man runnin’
He’ll be runnin’ against the wind
若い奴も走っているぜ
若い奴の走るのを見てみろ
奴も風に逆らって走ってる
Let the cowboys ride
Let the cowboys ride
They’ll be ridin’ against the wind
Against the wind …
カウボーイのように
乗りこなすんだ
奴らも風に逆らって進むんだ
風に逆らって
走り続けて行くんだ
“Beautiful Loser”
Bob Seger
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
When you realize, you just can’t have it all
He’s your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he’ll be there again
He’s always willing to be second-best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser
Read it on the wall
And realize
You just can’t have it all
You just can’t have it all
You just can’t have it all
Ohh, ohh, can’t have it all
You can try, you can try, but you can’t have it all
oh yeah
He’ll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won’t complain if he’s caught in a freeze
He’ll always ask, he’ll always say please
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
‘Cause it’s easier
And faster when you fall
You just don’t need it all
You just don’t need it all
You just don’t need it all
Just don’t need it all
That’s a good way to live, go against the wind.
