Sad Running Man
translation by Alinda Sue

Inviting in a heat shimmer, running everywhere Oh no!
Just short of exploding and sweaty all over,
His own road is a prideful road    Oh, no! no…

So, Doctor!
Hurry with your advice

Doctor!
You’d better understand the damage
There is no end to it
Oh no! Sad running man

That guy is an excellent athlete,
never defeated in a challenge. Hey you!
Rushing into the burning sunset, his trump card faintly burning
Amen!

So, Doctor!
When will there be an interval?
Doctor!
He’s overdue for a break
Doctor! Doctor!
We don’t know how much farther he can go
Oh no! Sad running man
Oh no! Tears of the running man
Oh no! Everybody’s running man

Shining across the fog, he saw dreams of the winning run. Oh yeah!
His constant illusion is that it would bring him joy. Oh my god!

So, Doctor!
A human’s life is distressing, isn’t it?
Doctor!
Running is his fate
Doctor! Doctor!
It is not easy
Oh no!  Sad running man
Doctor Doctor Doctor!
