Lyrics and translation 小椋佳 - 冬木立

冬木立

こおろぎの鳴く声 チロチロきこえる
六畳一間の色あせた部屋に
ゴロンとねころび 電燈をみてると
何故かぼやけて 灯りがかすむ
窓の外には終電車
窓の外には終電車

思い続けて ただひたすらに
人混みの中に貴方をさがす
出逢うはずない この運命ならいっそ
故郷をすてて逃げてゆきたい
それも出来ずに季節はめぐる
それも出来ずに季節はめぐる

春は悲しい足跡を残して
夏の日照に身をこがしながら
何も出来ずに 木の葉は落ちて
冷たい部屋に舞い戻る
いつしか外は冬木立
いつしか外は冬木立

Winter Tree Line

The chirping of crickets can faintly be heard
In my faded six mat room
I lay slumped down and stare at the lamp
For some reason, it's blurry, the light is faint
Outside the window passes the last train
Outside the window passes the last train

Thinking and waiting, just single-mindedly
Searching for you within the crowd
There's no way we'll meet, this fate is a lesson
I'd run away and leave my hometown
But I can't do it, and the seasons change
But I can't do it, and the seasons change

Spring leaves behind sad footprints
Scorched by the summer sunlight
Unable to do anything, the leaves fall
Drifting back into the cold room
Before I know it, outside is a winter tree line
Before I know it, outside is a winter tree line
