Les Rallizes Dénudés - 永遠に (Eternally) 1985-04-30 JaKe's "Single" Edit

This is an edit of the song '永遠に' (Eternally or Forever) as performed on 30th april 1985 at Meguro Rokumeikan. The song is very rare in Rallizes repertoire, probably improvised on spot. As simple as it is the tune is catchy, but it was performed somehow poorly, out of tune and included infinite minutes of random feedback noises. I thought it could have fit as a "single" so i cut out and assembled the best parts leaving a part of almost consistent solo and remastering the lo-fi tape in the best way i could.

Intrigued by the lyrics i went on crossing those available on Ubud's Rallizes blog with what i heard on the tape and asked some Japanese to track them down, ans also those who responded to the call were indeed quite in trouble to hear clearly the words. Then i attempted an unproofed translation.

I sorted them out in what seemed to me the "logical" way, and it's not exactly what you hear in this version. If you want to play it on guitar, chords are C, G, Am over and over all the time.

永遠に、今が続くのなら
永遠に、夢を見続けていたい
永遠に　君と一緒にいたい
永遠に、永遠に。

永遠に、君の瞳を見ていたい
永遠に、夢を見続けていたい
永遠に、この夜が続けばいい
永遠に、永遠に。

[solo]

永遠に、この静寂が続けばいい
永遠に、この静寂が続けばいい
永遠に、永遠に。
永遠に、永遠に。

時が変わっても 俺は変わりはしない
永遠に、永遠に。
時が変わっても 俺は変わりはしない
永遠に、永遠に。

なぜ生きている事が　
地獄並みの蜃気楼　
なぜ生きている事が
地獄並みの蜃気楼
平和よりも　答えは知らぬ
永遠に、永遠に。
永遠に、永遠に。

Translation

Forever, if this moment continues
Forever, I want to keep dreaming
Forever, with You I want to stay together
Forever, forever.

Forever, I want to see your eyes
Forever, I want to keep dreaming
Forever, if only this night could keep on
Forever, forever.

[solo]

Forever, if only this loneliness could keep on
Forever, if only this loneliness could keep on
Forever, forever.
Forever, forever.

Even if the time changes, I won’t
Forever, forever.
Even if the time changes, I won’t
Forever, forever.

Why living must be a mirage
Almost the same as hell?
Why living must be a mirage
Almost the same as hell?
Don’t know any other answer than peace.
Forever, forever.
Forever, forever.
