1 死んだ男の残したものは
一人の妻と一人の子ども
ほかには何も残さなかった
墓石一つ残さなかった
2死んだ女の残したものは
しおれた花と一人の子ども
ほかには何も残さなかった
着物一枚残さなかった
3死んだ子どもの残したものは
ねじれた足と乾いた涙
ほかには何も残さなかった
思い出一つ残さなかった
4死んだ兵士の残したものは
壊れた銃と歪んだ地球
ほかには何も残せなかった
平和一つ残せなかった
5死んだ彼らの残したのもは
生きてるわたし、生きてるあなた
ほかには誰も残っていない
ほかには誰も残っていない
6死んだ歴史の残したものは
輝く今日とまた来る明日
ほかには何も残っていない
ほかには何も残っていない
Uma composição de 武満 徹 (Toru Takemitsu) acompanhado por este poema traduzido para inglês.
All that the man left behind when he died
1
A man died and left behind a widow and a child.
Oh, that was all the man left behind him when he died.
Oh, not another thing did he leave when he died.
His grave was left unmarked;
there was not a single gravestone.
2
The widow died and left behind a child and a flower.
Oh, that was all the widow left behind her when she died.
Oh, not another thing did she leave when she died.
Her clothes had turned to dust;
there was not a single garment.
3
The child died and left behind his legs, a twisted tangle.
Oh, that was all the child left behind him when he died.
Oh, not another thing did he leave when he died.
His tears had dried to dust;
there was not a single mem'ry.
4
A soldier died and left behind the pieces of his rifle.
Oh, that was all the soldier left behind him when he died.
Oh, not another thing did he leave when he died.
The Earth was still at war;
there was no sign of peace there.
5
And now in this empty world there's only you and me.
Oh, we are all the people left behind them when they died.
Oh, not another thing did they leave when they died.
Just you and me alive;
not another souls remains here.
6
When hist'ry died it left behind today and tomorrow.
Oh, that was all the hist'ry left behind it when it died.
Oh, not another thing did it leave when it died.
Today, this shining day,
not another thing remains here.
A man died and left behind a widow and a child.
Oh, that was all the man left behind him when he died.
Oh, not another thing did he leave when he died.
His grave was left unmarked;
there was not a single gravestone.
