Rina Sawayama Chosen Familyを翻訳してみた

CHOSEN FAMILY by Negro Justice

chosen family（選ばれた家族）はLGBTQ+コミュニティにある言葉だし、リナ・サワヤマもそのコミュニティに向けて歌ってるのだろうけど、伝統的な家族や地縁に縛られて苦しんでる人の歌だなあ、と思って訳してみた。

[Intro]

Where do I belong?
わたしの居場所はどこ？


[Verse 1]

Tell me your story and I'll tell you mine
I'm all ears, take your time, we've got all night
Show me the rivers crossed, the mountains scaled
Show me who made you walk all the way here

あなたの話を聞かせて
わたしも話すよ

じっくり聞くよ
たっぷり時間をとって
一晩あるから

あなたが渡ってきた川　
登ってきた山
あなたをここまで歩いて来させた人たち
教えて


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh
Settle down, put your bags down
Ooh
You're alright now

落ち着いて　かばんをおいて
もう大丈夫だから

[Chorus]

We don't need to be related to relate
We don't need to share genes or a surname

You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family

So what if we don't look the same?
We been going through the same thing, yeah

You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family

繋がるために繋がる必要なんてない
遺伝子や苗字が違ってもいい
あなたは　あなたは
わたしの選ばれた家族

わたしたちは見た目は似てない
だから何なの？
同じ道を歩いてきたよね
あなたは　あなたは
わたしの選ばれた家族




[Verse 2]
Hand me a pen and I'll rewrite the pain
When you're ready, we'll turn the page together
Open a bottle, it's time we celebrate
Who you were, who you are
We're one and the same, yeah, yeah

ペンを貸して　痛みを書き換えよう
心の準備ができたら　ページをめくろう
ボトルを開けて　今こそ祝おう

今までのあなた　今のあなた
わたしたちは　一つ
わたしたちは　同じ


[Chorus]

We don't need to be related to relate
We don't need to share genes or a surname

You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family

So what if we don't look the same?
We been going through the same thing, yeah
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family

繋がるために繋がる必要なんてない
遺伝子や苗字が違ってもいい
あなたは　あなたは
わたしの選ばれた家族

わたしたちは見た目は似てない
だから何なの？
同じ道を歩いてきたよね
あなたは　あなたは
わたしの選ばれた家族

[Bridge]
I chose you
You chose me
I chose (Chosen family)
I chose you
You chose me
We're alright now

わたしがあなたを選んだ
あなたがわたしを選んだ

もう大丈夫

[Chorus]
We don't need to be related to relate
We don't need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
So what if we don't look the same?
We been going through the same pain, yeah
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
We don't need to be related to relate
We don't need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
So what if we don't look the same?
We been going through the same pain, yeah
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
We don't need to be related to relate
We don't need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
So what if we don't look the same?
We been going through the same pain, yeah
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family
