つぐない
荒木とよひさ　作詞 三木たかし　作曲

窓に西日が　あたる部屋は
いつもあなたの　匂いがするわ
ひとり暮らせば　想い出すから
壁の傷も残したまま　おいてゆくわ
愛をつぐなえば　別れになるけど
こんな女でも　忘れないでね
やさしすぎたのあなた
子供みたいなあなた
あすは他人同士に　なるけれど

心のこりは　あなたのこと
少し煙草も　ひかえめにして
過去にしばられ　くらすことより
わたしよりも可愛い人　探すことよ
愛をつぐなえば　重荷になるから
この町を離れ　暮らしてみるわ
お酒のむのもひとり
夢を見るのもひとり
あすは他人同士に　なるけれど

愛をつぐなえば　別れになるけど
こんな女でも　忘れないでね
やさしすぎたのあなた
子供みたいなあなた
あすは他人同士に　なるけれど

Love Compensation
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

I feel always your smell in this room
That gets the afternoon sun on the window
I will leave the scratches on the wall
‘Cause I'd recall the memories of you if I live here
When I compensate my love for you, I should go out from here
So please don't forget me though I'm so sinful
You are too sweet and gentle
And you have childlike innocence
Ah, we are going to be unrelated from now

I feel so much regretful to leave you here alone
Please refrain from smoking so much, dear!
You should find out a better spouse than me
It's better than having an attachment for the bygone
When I compensate my love for you, it should be a burden living here
So I will try to live in a remote place leaving this town
When I drink wine, will be alone
And when I dream, will be alone
Ah, we are going to be unrelated from now

When I compensate my love for you, I should go out from here
So please don't forget me though I'm so sinful
You are too sweet and gentle
And you have childlike innocence
Ah, we are going to be unrelated from now(2010.1.30)
