赤いリボン

A Red Ribbon

When I first met Rumi, she was sitting alone on the seashore. She was looking toward the sea. She was a cute little girl.

Her mother and father went to Hiroshima on August 5. It was just before the last war ended. Before they left the island, they said that they would only stay overnight. One day passed. Another day passed, and still another day passed. But her parents did not come back. Rumi's uncle took her to Hirohima to look for her parents. They walked around the burned-out city for four days, but they could not find her parents. After they returned to the island, Rumi went to the seashore every day. She waited there alone for her parents. I felt sad whenever I saw her. Rumi had a pretty yellow ribbon in her hair. She loved it. It was made by her mother.

One day I found that her hair was falling out. I said to her, "I'll make a red ribbon for you when your hair gets better." She smiled, and then turned toward the sea again to look for a ship. She said, "Mom and Dad said they would only stay overnight." A few days later, I saw Rumi on the seashore. She had a hat on. She said, "My uncle gave me this hat. My hair is sick." I did not know what to say.

A couple of days later, I found Rumi in her uncle's arms on the seashore. When I saw her face, I was surprised. I hurried back home and made a red ribbon for her. Then I brought it to her. She slowly opened her eyes, and gave me a smile. Her teeth were red with blood. "Thank ... you," she said weakly, and closed her eyes again. Tears ran down my face. Two days later, she died in her uncle's arms on the seashore.

私は不覚にも涙でタイプするのが難しくなってしまいました。これはたった一人の女の子の物語ではありません。日本にはこの他にも20、30万もの同等の悲しい物語があるのです。原爆や放射能の苦しみを知っている国が何故、原子力発電所放棄の決断が出来ないのでしょうか？


きっとルミは太陽の島でお母さんお父さんと幸せに居ます。

Walk Idiot Abe

Walk Idiot Walk/ The Hives

Well is it true what they say about it
They say it's new but I have to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it
Had enough
連中が言ってることは真実かい？
連中はそれが新しいと言ってるけど、俺は疑ってるぜ
で連中、それについて全てを言ってるってさ
いい加減にしてくれよ！

I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it tough
俺は誰かにああしろと言われたし
俺は誰かにこうしろと言われたし
誰かには、どうにもならんって言われたし
大したことないぞ！

See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
See the robot write up his name on the ballot
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
見てみなよ、アホが歩ってる
見てみなよ、アホが話してる
見てみなよ、アホがあいつの名前を黒板に書いてる
見てみなよ、ロボットが歩ってる
見てみなよ、ロボットが話してる
見てみなよ、ロボットがあいつの名前を投票用紙に書いてる
連中これが俺が上手く生きてく方法だってさ
真実は、わかるだろベイビー？嘘っぱちさ！

Well is it true what they say about it
You oughtta do what I do and doubt it
He won and now he's gonna do something about it
Ain't it sad
連中が言ってることは真実かい？
そこのあんた、俺がしてるようにすべきだよ、そう疑うのさ
あいつ、勝利したからって何かするつもりだぜ
悲しいでる暇なんてないぞ！

And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that is bursting your bubble
And it's Bad
もしあんたが間抜けになりたくなきゃ
ヒントを集めて点を結びなよ
そうすりゃあんたの空想の世界を吹き飛ばす見本がわかるって
最悪だぜ！

See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
見てみなよ、裸の王様が歩ってるよ
見てみなよ、裸の王様が話してるよ
ネトウヨ達があいつの名前をブログに綴ってるよ
連中、それが俺が上手く生きてく方法って言ってるけど
真実は、わかるだろベイビー？そんなの嘘嘘嘘嘘！

If we review the winning combination
Body at work and a mind on vacation
Who had the brain where it started to sink in
It was you
もし俺らが勝利の法則を論評したとすれば
体は仕事場だけど心は休暇中ってなもんさ
沈みはじめた船の中で真面目に考えてるのかい
あんたでしょ！

You've seen the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
But you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
Still you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
見てみなよ、裸の王様、安倍が歩ってるよ
見てみなよ、裸の王様、安倍が話してるよ
でもあんたが何も学ばなかったら何も終わらないって
見てみなよ、ロボットネトウヨが歩ってるよ
見てみなよ、ロボットネトウヨが話してるよ
今後あんたが何も学ばなかったら何も終わらないって
連中明治に戻るのが一番良いって言ってるけど
真実は、わかるだろベイビー？それは馬鹿馬鹿馬鹿馬鹿馬鹿の世界！

（拙訳）
