男友達よ　絵を描(か)いて暮らしているわ
売れなかった絵は　大事に自分の部屋の壁

セルビアを一人きり旅して
青い絵の具　一筆(ひとふで)加えた

私にはとてもわからないけれど　あぁ
「これで完成さ」とつぶやいた
私は心に　色を重ねてもまだ
描(か)ききれない絵が　ある

彼の友達は　ギター弾き　街から街へと
飲めばこうして　素敵な曲をほら　聞かせてくれるのよ

どんなに楽しそうにしてても
爪弾く音はなぜか　切ない響き

私にはとてもわからないけれど　あぁ
「昔の曲さ」って　さりげなく
私は心に　ふるえてるだけでまだ
鳴らない音が　ある

自信もなくて　誰もそばにいてくれない時
そんな時きまって　声をかけてくれる

私にはとてもわからないけれど　あぁ
「それでいいんだ」と言ってくれる
私は心に　もうすぐ完成する
大切な絵が　ある

Translation

Boyfriend, living painting pictures
The picture you couldn't sell is treasured on my wall

Travelling alone through Serbia
You added a stroke of blue

I really don't understand it
You muttered, "This is complete"
Even though I've layered the colours in my heart
There's still an unfinished picture

His friend is a guitarist; town to town
When he drinks he plays me a beautiful song like this

But however cheerfully he plays
For some reason the strumming sound is a melancholic echo

I really don't understand it
"An old song", nonchalently
Just from the shaking of my heart there's still
an inaudible sound

When I don't have confidence and nobody will come to my side
At those times, a voice always calls out to me

I really don't understand it
You say to me, "That's the way"
In my heart there'll soon be
a complete picture
