ハミングバード

ひきつった服   原爆頭
虹のふもと   枕がわり
うつむいたまま   夢を見れば
子守り歌をつぶやいた

閉めきった部屋   張り裂ける音
誰も知らない   しあわせ
通りすげたいった人達の
思い出をあつめていた

Long Long Time
夢の中
Long Long Time
信じてた
何も知らない神様のこと
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

澄みきった空   後姿で
ぼんやり眺め   無我の境地
平和主義者のひとり言は
傷つけたくないだけさ

Long Long Time
夢の中
Long Long Time
信じてた
何も言わない神様のこと
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

今日も狭くらしい道一人で歩いて
ただひたすら馬鹿にされて
ゆったりゆったり笑っていられりゃ充分さ
遠く彼方の   おとなりさん

Long Long Time
夢の中
Long Long Time
信じてた
何も要らない神様のこと
Long Long Time
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Long Long Time
translation by Alinda Sue…

Successfully dressed    Atomic bomb head
Your pillow is like the base of a rainbow
You continued to look down, as if a dream you would see
A babysitter’s song was muttered

Closed up in your room, you burst open with sound
No one knows   Happiness
As you collect memories of
People you wanted to pass on the road

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is known
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Perfectly clear sky, you view someone from behind
You dimly see   a selfless state
A pacifist speaking to himself
So as not to add to the pain

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is said
Long Long Time
Long Long Time

Today also a single person walks a cramped road
But he’s intent on merely making a fool of himself
Calmly, calmly with plenty of laughter
A far away down yonder neighbor

Long Long Time   within a dream
Long Long Time   you believed
The things of god which nothing is needed
Long Long Time
Long Long Time
Long Long Time
