Time in a Bottle/Jim Croce 歌詞和訳と意味

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
If I could save time in a bottle
時間を瓶に詰められたら
The first thing that I’d like to do
最初にやりたいことは
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
永遠に続くすべての日を保存して
Just to spend them with you
君と一緒に過ごすこと

[Verse 2]
If I could make days last forever
日々を永遠に続かせることができたら
If words could make wishes come true
言葉で願いを叶えられたら
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
毎日を宝物のように保存して
Again, I would spend them with you
また君と過ごすのだろう

[Chorus]
But there never seems to be enough time
けれどやりたい事が見つかると
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
当てられる時間が足りないように感じる
I’ve looked around enough to know
今まで十分探し回って分かったんだ
That you’re the one I want to go through time with
共に時を過ごしたい人は君だと

[Verse 3]
If I had a box just for wishes
もしも願いだけが詰まった箱と
And dreams that had never come true
叶わなかった夢の箱があったら
The box would be empty, except for the memory of how
そこには一つの記憶だけが残されている
They were answered by you
君が答えてくれた言葉という

[Chorus]
But there never seems to be enough time
けれどやりたい事が見つかると
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
当てられる時間が足りないように感じる
I’ve looked around enough to know
今まで十分探し回って分かったんだ
That you’re the one I want to go through time with
共に時を過ごしたい人は君だと

[Outro]
