鬼の目にも涙

This song was created based on a request from Nice piano. An old Japanese proverb ◆The English translation is below the lyrics◆ ⸻ 鬼の目にも涙 ⸻ [Verse 1] 冷たい目 凍った声 妻に笑みひとつ 零さない 遠き里から 一通の文 「娘を返されたし」 筆を置き 文を裂く 火へ投げる 「返すものか」 「ここがあの娘の在り処なり」 [Chorus] 愛など言わない 情など見せない それでも瞳は あの背中を 追っている 消えない 消せない 彼の胸の奥で 何かが騒いでいる [Verse 2] 妻はその夜 病に伏した 医者を呼び 薬を求める 金銀を尽くす できることは すべてさせた ただひとつ できなかった そのそばに 留まること 威を守る それだけが 最後の意地だった だが朝になれば 妻は永遠の眠りにいた 「なぜ知らせなんだ……」 震えた声だけが 残った [Chorus] 愛など言わない 情など見せない それでも瞳は あの背中を 追っている 消えない 消せない 彼の胸の奥で 何かが騒いでいる [Instrumental] [Chorus] 愛など言わない 情など見せない それでも瞳は まだあの姿を 映している 仏前を過ぎる 変わらぬ朝 誰もいない 夜の座敷 一度だけ その名を呼ぶ 返る声など ないと知りながら…… ⸻ The Demon’s Tear ⸻ [Verse 1] Cold eyes A frozen voice He doesn't show his wife Even a single smile A Letter From a distant land “Give our daughter back” He lays down the brush Tears the letter apart Throws it into the fire “Give her back? Never” “She belongs here” [Chorus] He never speaks of love He never shows affection And yet his eyes Still follow Her departing back It will not fade It cannot be erased Deep within his heart Something Keeps stirring [Verse 2] That very night She fell ill He called for a physician Sought the medicine Spent silver and gold Without hesitation Everything possible Was carried out Yet a single thing Could not be done To remain At her side To preserve his dignity That alone Was the last pride He had left But when morning came She was lost to eternal sleep “Why did you not tell me…?” Only his trembling voice Remained [Chorus] He never speaks of love He never shows affection And yet his eyes Still follow Her departing back It will not fade It cannot be erased Deep within his heart Something Keeps stirring [Instrumental] [Chorus] He never speaks of love He never shows affection And yet in his eyes Her image still remains The same unchanging morning He passes the Buddhist altar And in the empty room Late in the night Just once He calls her name Knowing No voice will ever Answer…
