A Whiter Shade of Pale

【空耳意訳】

We skip the light fandango
空きっ腹ぁにぃ　不安団子

Turns cartwheels 'cross the floor
啖呵を食らうその前に

I was feeling kind of seasick
相患うのかも船酔いは

The crowd called out for more
蔵人たちがもてはやす

The room was humming harder
座留は見る間に勇み肌

As the ceiling flew away
まずは蒸籠も吹っ飛んで

When we called out for another drink
返事も無いなら段取りは

The waiter brought a tray
そのままそこで黙っとれ

And so it was that later
安堵することあたわず

As the miller told his tale
あざとく言い訳すれば

That her face at first just ghostly
雑踏に向かう幽霊の如く

Turned a whiter shade of pale
単なる青い影に落ちる

She said, "There is no reason
死せる魂に理由もなく

And the truth is plain to see."
貴方の真理は斯くの如し


That I wandered through my playing cards
夜来風雨を越えて　ぼくの手札は

Would not let her be
鵜呑みには出来ないカードだった

One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast
１６便が巫女を乗せて沖へと運ぶ

And although my eyes were open
暁を覚えぬ花には鳥も気づかない

They might just as well 've been closed
狭い箱には青い骰子が閉ざされた

And so it was later
噫　それさえもう忘れた

As the miller told his tale
明日には通るヒステリー

That her face at first just ghostly
沙汰は閉鎖とミステリー

Turned a whiter shade of pale　���
撓んだ箱の青い影
