I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted, too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

愛は人々の内で眠ったままらしい
僕のギターがすすり泣いている間も
床に目をやればそこには埃が積もっている
僕のギターはひそやかにすすり泣く

なぜ誰も君に教えなかったのだろう
あふれる愛をほとばしらせる術を
誰がどう君を操っていたのか
君はだまされ利用されたんだ

世の中の営みは脈々と続く
僕のギターがすすり泣いている間も
僕らは失敗を重ねながら物事を学んでいく
僕のギターはひそやかにすすり泣く

なぜそんなふうに変わり果てたのか
堕ちるところまで堕ちた君
どこでどう道を誤ったのだろう
誰も君に注意しなかったのかい

愛は人々の内で眠ったままらしい
僕のギターがすすり泣いている間も
あの人々をごらん
僕のギターはひそやかにすすり泣く
