Talking Heads - Listening Wind

「Remain in Light (1980)」より



Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
ジークは近くの丘から村を見下ろし
Mojique thinks of days before Americans came
アメリカ人の来る前の日々を思う
He sees the foreigners in growing numbers
ジークは見る。増え続けるよそ者を
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
ジークは見る。趣味の悪い家に住み着くよそ者を
He thinks of days that he can still remember now
ジークは古き良き日々を思う。消えてしまう前に

 


Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands
ジークは震える手で小包を持ち
Mojique sends the package to the American man
目当てのアメリカ人へと手渡す
Softly he glides along the streets and alleys
すっと大通りから路地へ入り込み
Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover
背中に、風と人々の逃げ惑う声を感じる
He feels the time is surely now or never more
ジークは感じる。今しかないのだと

 


The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The dust in my head
頭に舞う埃よ
The dust in my head
頭に舞う埃よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
Come to drive them away
奴らを吹き飛ばしたまえ
Drive them away
奴らを吹き飛ばしたまえ

 


Mojique buys equipment in the market place
ジークは市場で必要なものを買い集め
Mojique plants devices in the free trade zone
自由港にそっと仕掛ける
He feels the wind is lifting up his people
ジークは感じる。風が同士を持ち揚げるのを
He calls the wind to guide him on his mission
ジークは祈る。風が使命を導くのを
He knows his friend the wind is always standing by
ジークは知る。風と友が傍で見守るのを

 


Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away
ジークは遠くから香る風を感じ
Mojique waits for news in a quiet place
静かな場所で知らせを待つ
He feels the presence of the wind around him
ジークは感じる。風が自らを取り巻くのを
He feels the power of the past behind him
ジークは感じる。過去が力強く背を押すのを
He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him on
ジークは知る。自らを導く風が何たるかを

 

 

The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The dust in my head
頭に舞う埃よ
The dust in my head
頭に舞う埃よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
The wind in my heart
心に吹く風よ
Come to drive them away
奴らを吹き飛ばしたまえ
Drive them away
奴らを吹き飛ばしたまえ
