幸福になるために、私はできる限りのことをした、 |
To get my happiness I had done everything, |
常に自分らしくあるために、私は自らの生を肯定した、 |
I was a believer in life to be myself always, |
なぜ、この方法を用いてはならないかという理由を教えてください、 |
Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way, |
あまねく世界は、静止していた。 |
The whole world was at a complete standstill, |
その意味は、はじめからずっと、観察者の目に宿っていた。 |
Its meaning had been in the eyes of beholder all along. |
「意味のない悲劇の中で、いったい何をお探しですか? |
“Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for? |
今、ここに誰もいないことを知るものは、誰もいない。 |
There is nobody who knows there will be nobody. |
あなた(たち)が差し控えてもかまわないと思っている容赦とは、何ですか。 |
So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold? |
