知るという事 | To Know Something And Someone

From Mobile
先週に開けた、安い赤ワイン。
残っていたので1週間放置。
今日飲んだら、少し酸っぱい。

ビールが好きだがうんちくなんてまるで無い。
お酒に関する知識が薄過ぎる。
知った所でどうなのさ?

好きなものに理由はいらない。
なんて、勝手な事。
でも、好きだから好きっていう時も、あるよね?

理由なんてくそくらえ。
なんて、若者ではあるまいし。
人や物のことを知る事は決してマイナスじゃない。

例えば、この安い赤ワイン。
名前ぐらいは覚えておこう。
といっても、明日の朝には忘れているかも。

例えば、バスで見かけたおばさんの顔。
ちょっと疲れているけれど、夕陽に輝く美しい肌。
10年後にふっと思い出すかもね。


I had cheap red wine that I opened last week.
I couldn't finish it so I left it for a week.
I drank it the leftover and it was a little sour.

I like beer but I don't have any knowledge at all.
I don't know much about alcohol beverage anyway.
Though, what's good if I have all the knowledge?

We don't need any reason for whatever and whoever we like.
Well, it's such an arbitrary comment of mine.
Though, there is a moment when you like something because you just like it, isn't there?

F**k the reasons and logic.
Well, I am not young and punk enough anymore.
To know someone and something will give us benefits for sure.

For instance, this cheap red wine.
I will remember the name.
Though, I may forget it by tomorrow morning.

For instance, the face of an old woman that I saw on the bus.
Her face looked little tired but her skin was shining in the ray of sunset light.
I may recall her face out of a whim 10 years later.
