Billy Joel_The Stranger

Well we all have a face
誰しも

That we hide away forever
隠された顔をもってる

And we take them out and show ourselves
一人きりのときに

When everyone has gone
その顔が現れるんだ

Some are satin some are steel
サテンや鋼

Some are silk and some are leather
シルクや革だってある

They're the faces of the stranger
自分ではない顔だけど

But we love to try them on
みな仮面をつけたがる

Well, we all fall in love
人間誰しも恋に落ちる

But we disregard the danger
でもその危険性は見ないふり

Though we share so many secrets
いろんな秘密を共有しても

There are some we never tell
絶対言えない秘密もある

Why were you so surprised
なぜ仮面を見たことがない、と

That you never saw the stranger
そんなに驚くのか

Did you ever let your lover see
君は恋人に

The stranger in yourself?
仮面を見せたことがあるのか

Don't be afraid to try again
何度でも挑戦しよう

Everyone goes south
誰しも

Every now and then
ときどき失敗するよ

You've done it, why can't someone else?
君が失敗したなら、誰かも失敗しただろう

You should know by now
もう知るべきだ

You've been there yourself
君が選んだ道だと

Once I used to believe
昔は信じていたよ

I was such a great romancer
すごい夢想家だって

Then I came home to a woman
知らない女と

That I could not recognize
家に帰った

When I pressed her for a reason
女に理由を迫ったとき

She refused to even answer
彼女は答えなかった

It was then I felt the stranger
そのとき私は仮面の存在を

Kick me right between the eyes
強く強く実感したんだ

Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it why can't someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself

You may never understand
きっと一生理解できないだろう

How the stranger is inspired
どうやって仮面が現れるのか

But he isn't always evil
けど仮面は常に悪じゃない

And he isn't always wrong
常に悪いわけじゃない

Though you drown in good intentions
君が善意に溢れていても

You will never quench the fire
想いを消すことは出来ない

You'll give in to your desire
君の中に隠された顔が現れたなら

When the stranger comes along.
きっと欲望に従うことになる
