I want to become your translation machine,
And fly around the world.
Splitting the tall sky with a hatchet,
With my heart trembling in its box.

Curtains sway,
As light dances.

I’ll raise up your nobility;
I want to see them feeling shamed.
We have friends no matter where we go,
Though no one really knows us.

From amongst that crowd,
Someone is singing a song,
Known to the village you were born in.
Silence reveals heavy breaths,
From the other side of the phone.

Stories you hear all the time in this world,
Lack breath, like stuffed creatures.
Using that machine you used to love,
I tried to breathe life into them, but…

…no one will even lend me an ear.

From amongst that crowd,
Someone is singing a song,
Known to the village you grew up in;
It’s already present in this place.

Where did you go,
Leaving only words?
Where did you disappear to,
Disturbing only the wind?
Where did you go?

From amongst that crowd,
You lose the city you were born in.
Someone sings a song,
And silence reveals heavy breaths.
From amongst that crowd,
I’m singing a song,
Known to the village you were born in.
And when I peer through these binoculars,
You’re standing right there.

Within the airplane I’m flying,
The seat you’re reclining in is first class.
My fuel comes from the happy times we had,
Fighting against the sad times.
But there’s no end to the sadness,
And that fact there’s no end is sad in itself.
I want to become your translation machine,
And fly around the world.
I’m so sad… I’m so sad… I’m so sad…
But every once in a while, happy.

ぼくはきみの翻訳機になって
世界を飛びまわってみたい
高い空を斧でまっぷたつに
箱のなか震える心臓

カーテン揺れる
踊る光

ぼくはきみの気高さを掲げ
恥じ入る彼らを見てみたい
どこにだって友達はいるよ
誰もぼくらを知らないけど

あのひとごみのなかから
きみのうまれた街を繋ぐ
歌を誰が歌うのさ
静けさが息を荒げる
電話の向こうで

世界中によくある話は
剥製のように呼吸がない
かつてきみは愛した機械で
命を吹き込もうとしたけれど

誰も耳を貸しはしない

あのひとごみのなかから
きみの育った街を繋ぐ
歌を誰が歌うのさ
それはもうすでにそこにあるよ

きみはどこへ行ったの
言葉だけ残して
きみはどこへ消えたの
風だけおこして
きみはどこへ行ったの

あのひとごみのなかから
きみはうまれた街を失う
歌を誰が歌うのさ
静けさが息を荒げる
あのひとごみのなかから
きみのうまれた街を繋ぐ
歌をぼくが歌うのさ
双眼鏡をのぞいたなら
きみはそこにいる

ぼくが飛ばす飛行機のなか
横たわるきみの席はファーストクラス
燃料は楽しかったこと
悲しかったことのせめぎ合い
悲しみには終わりがないね
終わりがないのは悲しいからね
ぼくはきみの翻訳機になって
世界を飛びまわってみたい
悲しいね　悲しいね　悲しいね
ときどき　楽しいね
