Legends of the fall

"Legends of the Fall" は、1979年に書かれた同名の小説をもとにした映画のなかの曲です。
ワルツ用には編曲したものがよく使われていると思います。
この詩は、この曲の歌詞なのかどうかわかりませんが、いい詩なので後半に拙訳をつけてみました。





...You say love is the most precious thing in the world...

Why, then, does it seem to cause you the most grief...

You always seem to give your love to people who will hurt you the most...

You are left crying yourself to sleep...

...Night after night...

Hoping and praying that certain person will rescue you...

...From all the misery and pain that surrounds your life...

...So that they could show you...

...That there is someone out there who can truly love you...



...This person would want you for you...

...Not what you could offer them or give them...

You spend your days picturing what they would look like...

...What their laugh sounds like...

...But all you have to do is open your eyes...

I have been here the whole time...

I was here for all the good and bad times...

...And for the longest time...

I have stood and watched...

As you throw all your love away...

...On people who just didn't want it or deserve it...

It wasn't my place to say anything...

But I'm tired of seeing you get hurt...

...Now I'm saying something...

I just hope I'm not too late...

...And all your love is used up...
