| Artist: 矢井田瞳 (Yaida Hitomi) Song Title: Fast Car Album: Andante Track Number: 2 Released: 2002 Lyrics By: Yaida Hitomi / Tracy Chapman |
This is a Japanese cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car," which is actually one of my favorite songs of all-time. It's a song that got me through a really hard time in my life by giving me the motivation to pull myself out. :) Although Yaiko's version doesn't have lyrics that are quite as gripping, I still absolutely adore it (especially her live version)!

| You got a fast car 此処よりも遠くへ 二人で行くの 何処へ着いても 此処よりはいい 失うものはない あなたがそこにいればいい 失うとしても きっと二人ならなんとでもなる You got a fast car 此処から出ていきたい お金ならいくらかあるわ 少しぐらいなら食べられそう 行き先は選ばない エゴもなければ利己もない そんな土地で仕事を手に 見つけたいの 生きていく意味を その男はいつでも 年の割りに酒をよく呑んで 働くこともなく 歳月だけが過ぎていった ママは孤独な彼を捨てた 何もくれない彼をね けど私にとってはそうね 唯一の両親でしかない You got a fast car あの空までなら飛べるかな 旅立つのかそれとも ここで死ぬのかきめましょう この車ならいける行きましょうよ 酔えるくらいのスピードがいい 広がる一面夜景と 包む腕が優しかった あー私はあなたのもの あー生まれ変われそうなの Be someone, be someone・・・・・ You got a fast car 二人なら何処までも行ける あなたに職はない けど今の私にはレジが打てる 未来は良くなるわ そしたら此処を飛びだして ねぇ 大きな家に住んで のどかな郊外の家がいいわ この車ならいける行きましょうよ 酔えるくらいのスピードがいい 広がる一面夜景と 包む腕が優しかった あー私はあなたのもの あー生まれ変われそうなの Be someone, be someone・・・・・ You got a fast car お金を返し終えたなら もう遅くまで呑まないで 旧友に会ったりして そう願うの わかる？ 二人ならきっと始められそう はっきりはわからない でも この fast carでドライブがしたい この車ならいける行きましょうよ 酔えるくらいのスピードがいい 広がる一面夜景と 包む腕が優しかった あー私はあなたのもの あー生まれ変われそうなの Be someone, be someone・・・・・ You got a fast car あの空までなら飛べるかな 旅立つのかそれとも ここで死ぬのか早く決めましょう |

You got a fast car. Can it take the two of us far away from here? Wherever we go, it's better than here. There's nothing to lose. As long as you're there, even if all is lost, surely we can overcome if we're together. You got a fast car. I want to get away from here. I have some money; it's enough to eat on for a while. We have no destination. There's no ego or selfishness, either. By working hard with my own two hands, I want to find the meaning of living. That man always drank alcohol for years. He never had a job as the years passed by. Mama left that lonely man; he didn't give her enough. But for me, they're the only parents I have. You got a fast car. Can it fly us into that distant sky? We have to decide: leave now or die here. This car can go, so let's go. The speed is so fast it makes me feel drunk. With the night view spread out before me, your arm felt so nice wrapped around me. Ah, and I was yours. Ah, and I felt like I could start over again and be someone, be someone... You got a fast car. If we're together, we can make it anywhere. You still have no job, but now I'm working as a cashier. Things will get better. And then we can fly away from here and live in a big house in the peaceful suburbs. This car can go, so let's go. The speed is so fast it makes me feel drunk. With the night view spread out before me, your arm felt so nice wrapped around me. Ah, and I was yours. Ah, and I felt like I could start over again and be someone, be someone... You got a fast car. If you've finished paying back all that money, please don't stay out late drinking with your friends anymore. Do you know I wish for that? It seemed like we could surely start if we were together. I clearly didn't understand, but I really wanted to go for a drive in this fast car. This car can go, so let's go. The speed is so fast it makes me feel drunk. With the night view spread out before me, your arm felt so nice wrapped around me. Ah, and I was yours. Ah, and I felt like I could start over again and be someone, be someone... You got a fast car. Can it fly us into that distant sky? We have to decide: leave now or die here. |
