Winds of War (Hear The Drumbeat Grow Near)

Paul Arenson

Originale	Japanese version - 戦争の風
WINDS OF WAR (HEAR THE DRUMBEAT GROW NEAR)	WINDS OF WAR (HEAR THE DRUMBEAT GROW NEAR)
Listen, do you hear	ほら、聞こえるだろう？
The drumbeat of fear?	恐怖の太鼓の音が
For while we sleep they crawl and creep	我々が寝ている隙に
And bring the winds of war.	戦争の風を呼び寄せる
Beware the winds of war	戦争の風に気をつけろ
You've heard their songs before	あの唄は前にも聞いたことがあるだろう
The words they speak conceal so sweet	奴らがあんなにも甘い言葉で
The pain that lies in store	待ち受ける靴苦痛を覆い隠す
A smile in the eyes of the children	子供たちの瞳に浮かぶ微笑み
Brings joy to the heart but tears to the eye	それは心に喜びをしかし目には涙を誘う
Oh, can you remember the rain?	おおあの雨を覚えているか？
Can you remember the pain, oh the pain	あの苦痛を覚えているか？
That stole the smile from their eyes..	あの子供たちの瞳から微笑みを奪ったあの苦痛を
Listen do you hear	こら、聞こえるだろう？
The drumbeat grow near?	太鼓の音が近ずいて来る
For while we thought they'd let them rot	もほうむりさった思っていたのに
They kept their swords and spears	銃剣を持ち出してきた
A sword in the hands of your brother	兄弟たちが銃剣手に向かい合う時
Turns day into darkness and skies into fire	昼は暗闇となり、空は炎二染まる
Oh, don't lend a hand to the flame	おお戦争の炎に手を貸すな
Don't be a part of the pain, oh the pain	苦痛をあたるものと手を
That steals the smile from their eyes	あの子供たちくの瞳から微笑みをうばったやつらと
Don't feed the winds of war	戦争の風に力を貸すな
Don't be deceived anymore	もう二度とだまされない
The words they speak conceal so sweet	やすらはあんなにも甘い言葉で
The pain they have in store	待ち受ける靴苦痛を覆い隠す
A smile in the eyes of the children	子供たちの瞳に浮かぶ微笑み
Brings joy to the heart and peace to the land	それは心に喜び、そして地上に平和をもたらす
Oh teach your daughters and sons to resist the sword and the drums, the nearing drums	おお娘や息子たちに教えよう、じゅうかん？？と太鼓に立ち向うことを、近つくたいこ
And keep the smile in their eyes	おおあの瞳の微笑みにけさないことを
Oh teach your daughters and sons to crush the sword and the drum, the bloody drum	おお娘や息子たちに話そう、じゅうかん？？と太鼓をうちやぶるように、血にれた太鼓を
And keep the smile in their eyes.	瞳の微笑み
