*日本語歌詞は下にあります* - Melencolia Melencolia, my Melencolia My painting remains quietly unfinished... The scent of black tea fills the room, and I sit down in my chair I change the water in the vase, lay out a white cotton cloth Outside the window, the light is bright, another day already beginning while yesterday still lingers in the way my hair won’t settle I trace the rim of the cup, waiting for the steam to disappear the sand in the hourglass falling without a sound my breathing slowly steadies Melencolia, my Melencolia My painting remains quietly unfinished Melencolia, my Melencolia with my wings kept softly asleep today I close the art book I was reading, put the cup away and watch the light on the floor slowly fade as if a small child were trying to say something I tie my hair more carefully than usual Melencolia, my Melencolia My painting remains quietly unfinished Melencolia, my Melencolia with my wings kept softly asleep today Hidden deep inside the flowers are geometries no compass can measure a world made only of imagination Melencolia, my Melencolia My painting remains quietly unfinished Melencolia, my Melencolia even if tomorrow is not the day Melencolia, my Melencolia with my wings kept softly asleep today ** Albrecht Dürer’s Melencolia I is a copperplate engraving created in 1514. At its center, a winged figure sits in deep thought, holding a compass. Around the figure are tools, a ruler, a polyhedron, a sphere, an hourglass, a bell, a magic square, a ladder, and a sleeping dog—objects that suggest intellect, craft, time, and creation. Yet the figure does not use them, remaining still, as if facing an inner impasse. Rather than depicting simple sadness, the work is often interpreted as an image of human intelligence and creativity confronting their own limits and solitude. ** 「メランコリア」 Melencolia, my Melencolia My painting remains quietly unfinished... 紅茶の香りが部屋に満ちて、私は椅子に座り 花瓶の水を替えて、白い木綿のクロスを敷いて 窓の外は明るい光、もう一日が始まってて 昨日の名残りを寝ぐせに残したままの私 カップのフチをなぞって、湯気が消えるのを待って 音もなく落ちていく砂時計 呼吸が落ち着いていく Melencolia, my Melencolia 私の絵は未完成なまま Melencolia, my Melencolia 今日も羽根を眠らせたまま 読みかけの画集を閉じて、カップをかたづけて 床に跳ねる光が消えていくのを見て まるで小さな子供が何かを話してるようで 私はいつもより丁寧に髪を結んで Melencolia, my Melencolia 私の絵は未完成なまま Melencolia, my Melencolia 今日も羽根を眠らせたまま 花の奥に潜む幾何学模様は コンパスで測れない想像の世界 Melencolia, my Melencoliaa 私の絵は未完成なまま Melencolia, my Melencolia 明日がその日じゃなくても Melencolia, my Melencolia 今日も羽根を眠らせたまま ** デューラーの《メランコリア I》は、1514年に制作された銅版画です。中央には翼を持つ人物が、コンパスを手にしたまま物思いに沈むように座っています。周囲には、工具、定規、多面体、球、砂時計、鐘、魔方陣、はしご、眠る犬などが描かれ、知性・技術・時間・創造を象徴するものが散りばめられています。しかし人物はそれらを使わず、何かに行き詰まったように静止しています。それは単なる憂鬱ではなく、世界を理解し創造しようとする人間の知性と、その限界や孤独を表した作品として解釈されています。
