道なりに 道なりに　その道を造った人なりの
逆らってはいけない　合わさってもならない
体を左右に　軽く揺らすとよい

Go along a road
Go along a road just like a man paved it
Don't go against it
Don't go join it
It's better to go swinging

山なりに　山なりに　丸く高く　弧を描くように
高ぶってはいけない　冷めきってもならない
どうか届けと　つぶやき投げるとよい

Fly it in an arc
Fry it in an arc gently and highly
Don't get too high
Don't get too law
It's better to fly it murmuring
"Let it reach the line"

ああ　なんだ　釣りをする時の 手引きのつもりが
ああ　まるで　君といる時の 私ではないか

Oh, I was going to tell you them
just like advices on fishing
But they're just like my lifestyle with you

いいなりに　いいなりに　アイボウのいつも　泳ぐがままに
疑ってはいけない　裏切ってもならない
ただひたすらやさしく　たぐり寄せるとよい

Go along a stream
Go along a stream your partner make
Don't suspect anyone
Don't let anyone down
It's better to haul in a line
gently and carefully

ああ　なんだ　釣りをする時の　手引きのつもりが
ああ　まるで　君といる時の　私ではないか

Oh, I was going to tell you them
just like advices on fishing
But they're just like my lifestyle with you

それなりに　それなりに　大きな答えが出た時は
考えてはいけない　どだいムリなことだ

When you make a serious decision finally
Don't think too much
You can't do that

すべて忘れて　ケモノになるだけ
すべてを流して　水になるしかない

You must be an animal
forgetting everything
You must be water
forgiving everything

　手引きのようなもの　by　井上陽水・奥田民生

久々の翻訳。あいかわらずいい加減な解釈ですが・・・
