誰がために鐘は鳴る (Dare ga tame ni Kane wa Naru) – rough laugh

lyrics and music: 西沢サトシ (Nishizawa Satoshi)
album: BAD COMPANY (1999)

English translation

For whom the bell tolls [x]

We’ve always been looking for the answer,
and got the shapeless freedom in our hands.
We were born in a chaotic age…

The years passing in a hurry,
clean youth without permission.
The ordinary future is deadly annoying.

The grey sun; stillness and sadness.
I want it to stay like this,
but I can’t help to feel awkward, I guess.
Do well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
It’s better to go on this way.
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
It’s better, better in my chest.

Pretending to be tough, we laughed.
Reluctantly, we acted like good people.
The scattering flowers,
that’s what we thought was the truth.

Worshipping both John Lennon and God,
believing in the existence of UFO,
such childhood values
can suddenly tighten the heart.

The burned-out sunset; farewell and serenity.
Don’t be afraid of loneliness,
you can go on to the next place. Uh
Do well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
We’ll surely meet there.
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
Surely, surely in my chest.

Let’s softly carve the eternity…

You make your way
To live and you try to understand
Let’s always ask our questions.
You wake yourself
To seek for a piece of your heart
Always, always in my heart.

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
It’s better to go on this way.
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
It’s better, better in my chest.

Romaji 

Dare ga tame ni Kane wa Naru

Tada zutto kotae wo sagashitari
Katachi naki jiyuu wo te ni shitari
Konton no sedai ni bokura wa umareta ndashi

Awatadashiku toshi wo totteitari
wakaki hi wo katte ni bikashitari
Hitonamina mirai ga uzettakute unadareru

Haiiro no taiyou seijaku to kanashimi
Arinomama itai no sa
bukiyou demo shouganai deshou
Do well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
Isso kono mama de yukou
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
Isso isso kono mune ni

Tsuyogatte waratta furishitari
Yamuwoezu ii hito buttetari
Chiriyuku hana koso ga
shinjitsuda to omottari

John Lennon wo kami to agametari
UFO no sonzai wo shinjitari
Youchina kachikan ga futo
kokoro wo shimetsukeru

Moetsukita rakujitsu ketsubetsu to yasuragi
Kodoku nado kowarezu ni
tsugi no basho e susumu ga ii Uh
Do well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
Kitto ano basho de aou
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
Kitto kitto kono mune ni

Sotto kizamareru eien ni…

You make your way
To live and you try to understand
Zutto toikakete yukou
You wake yourself
To seek for a piece of your heart
Zutto zutto kono mune ni

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
Isso kono mama de yukou
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
Isso isso kono mune ni

誰がために鐘は鳴る

ただずっと　答えを探したり
形無き　自由を手にしたり
混沌の世代に　僕らは生まれたんだし…

あわただしく　年をとっていたり
若き日を　勝手に美化したり
人並な未来が　ウザったくてうなだれる

灰色の太陽　静寂と哀しみ
ありのまま　いたいのさ
不器用でも　しょうがないでしょう
Do well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
いっそ　このままでゆこう
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
いっそ　いっそ　この胸に

強がって　笑ったフリしたり
やむを得ず　いい人ぶってたり
散りゆく花こそが　真実だと思ったり…

ジョン・レノンを　神と崇めたり
UFOの存在を　信じたり
幼稚な価値観が　ふと　心を締めつける

燃え尽きた落日　決別と安らぎ
孤独など怖れずに　次の場所へ進むがいい　Uh
Do　well

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
きっと　あの場所で　会おう
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
きっと　きっと　この胸に

そっと刻まれる　永遠に…

You make your way
To live and you try to understand
ずっと　問いかけてゆこう
You wake yourself
To seek for a piece of your heart
ずっと　ずっと　この胸に

You take your way
You need and you leave for your place
いっそ　このままでゆこう
You take your way
You need and you hold all your pain
いっそ　いっそ　この胸に
