Translation in Japanese

chorus

How long, how long will I slide?
どのくらいするんだ?
Separate my side, I don′t
俺のそばを離れてさ
I don't believe it′s bad
それが悪い事だとは思わないぜ
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
喉を切り裂くこと、それが全てさ

verse

I heard your voice through a photograph
写真からお前の声が聞こえてきたよ
I thought it up and brought up the past
考えてたら過去が出てきた
Once you know you can never go back
1度知ったら二度と戻れないのさ
I gotta take it on the other side
俺はこの世の反対側に行っちまったんだ
Centuries are what it meant to me
100年は俺にとっては意味のあること
A cemetery where I marry the sea
海に嫁ぐ霊園
Stranger things could never change my mind
奇妙な出来事は俺の心を変えることはなかった
I gotta take it on the other side
俺はこの世の反対側に行っちまったんだ
Take it on the other side
この世の反対側に行ったのさ
Take it on, take it on
行ったんだよ

chorus

How long, how long will I slide?
どのくらいするんだ?
Separate my side, I don't
俺のそばを離れてさ
I don′t believe it′s bad
それが悪い事だとは思わないぜ
Slit my throat, it's all I ever
喉を切り裂くこと、それが全てさ

verse

Pour my life into a paper cup
哀れな俺の人生は紙コップの中
The ashtray′s full and I'm spillin′ my guts
灰皿が一杯で、ガッツがこぼれちまう
She wants to know, am I still a slut?
やつは知りたがってる、俺はまだ淫乱なのか?
I've got to take it on the other side
俺はこの世の反対側に行ったのさ
Scarlet starlet and she′s in my bed
緋色の星座と彼女は俺のベッドの中
A candidate for a soul mate bled
ソウルメイト候補がブリード
Push the trigger and I pull the thread
引き金を押して糸を引く
I gotta take it on the other side
俺はこの世の反対側に行っちまったんだ
Take it on the other side
この世の反対側に行ったのさ
Take it on, take it on
行ったんだよ

chorus

How long, how long will I slide?
どのくらいするんだ?
Separate my side, I don't
俺のそばを離れてさ
I don't believe it′s bad
それが悪い事だとは思わないぜ
Slit my throat, it′s all I ever
喉を切り裂くこと、それが全てさ

verse

Turn me on, take me for a hard ride
興奮させて、ハードなドライブに連れて行ってくれよ
Burn me out, leave me on the other side
燃え尽きさせてくれ、この世の反対側に居させてくれよ
I yell and tell it that it's not my friend
怒鳴って、友達じゃないと言うのさ
I tear it down, I tear it down
破り捨てて
And then it′s born again
俺はまた生まれ変わる

chorus

How long, how long will I slide?
どのくらいするんだ?
Separate my side, I don't
俺のそばを離れてさ
I don′t believe it's bad
それが悪い事だとは思わないぜ
Slit my throat, it′s all I ever
喉を切り裂くこと、それが全てさ
How long, I don't, I don't believe it′s bad
どのくらい、私はしない、私はそれが悪いとは思わない
Slit my throat, it′s all I ever
喉を切り裂くこと、それが全てさ
Writer(s): Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith, Flea, John Frusciante, Michael Peter Balzary
