Paroles et traduction 崎元仁 - コイン

コイン

自販機でコーヒーを買ったお釣りは 君と僕をつなぐ 魔法のコイン
狭い電話ボックスの中 ヒュルリラ 冬の隙間風が啼いてる
一番高価な500円玉も この時ばかりは役立たず
10円玉の方がずっと偉いんだ 10秒間ずつ君に会える

「プルルルル‥プルルルル‥」 Callを無意識に数えてる
7回目には 決まって 留守電に変わる
もう眠っていたのかな? ‥だと良いな

何でもないメッセージを残し 受話器を下ろして気付いた
大した用事なんて無いんだ ただ 声が聴きたいんだよ
明日の朝に聴くのかな? それなら「おやすみ。。」じゃなかったね
また 君に笑われるや いつものように

まとめて買いすぎたコーヒー
ガチャガチャと取り出し口につっかえている
求めすぎてしまった後に気付く 君の気持ちも一緒なのかなぁ?

駅までの上り坂 ペダルの重さと戦ってる
君の乗せた あの頃なら 涼しい顔で
痩せ我慢して手元が フラフラ

ヘッドライトが照らす夜道に響く 間の抜けた口笛
センチメンタルなメロディーほど 力んじゃうんだ 笑わないでよ
背中で聴いてたその声も 今は繋がれた受話器の中
また 寂しさに負けそうさ 月が滲んでる

こっそり予定を聞き出して 週末内緒で 君に会いに行くんだ!
勘付かれないように さりげない会話で僅かな糸口を掴んで

うまくやるんだ!
プルルルル‥ プルルルル‥ プルルルル‥ プルルルル‥
プルルルル‥ プルルルル‥ プルルルル‥

今夜も 何でもないメッセージを残し 受話器を下ろしかけた時
留守電が君に切り替わった 慌てて声も裏返るんだよ
「明日の予定は、、どうなってるの!?」 これにて作戦は 丸つぶれ
また 君に笑われてる 受話器の奥で
もう 切符も買ってるんだ 始発で行くよ

Coin

The change I got from buying coffee from the vending machine is a magic coin that connects you and me.
Inside the narrow phone booth, the winter wind whistles through the cracks.
Even the most expensive 500 yen coin is useless at this moment.
A 10 yen coin is much more valuable, it lets me talk to you for 10 seconds.

I count the rings of the phone, "Ring ring... ring ring..." subconsciously.
On the 7th ring, it always goes to voicemail.
I hope you were already asleep.

I leave a meaningless message and put down the receiver, then I realize.
I don't have anything important to say, I just want to hear your voice.
Will you listen to it tomorrow morning? If so, I shouldn't have said "good night..."
You'll laugh at me again, like always.

I bought too much coffee.
It's jammed in the dispenser, making a rattling sound.
I realize I was too eager, is your feeling the same?

On the way to the station, I'm struggling with the heavy pedals uphill.
Back when you were with me, you would have ridden with a cool face.
I'm gritting my teeth, my hands are shaky.

The headlights illuminate the night road, and I whistle a tuneless melody.
Sentimental tunes make me feel so tense, don't laugh at me.
Your voice, which I used to hear on my back, is now trapped inside the connected phone receiver.
I'm losing to loneliness again, the moon is blurry.

I'll secretly find out your schedule and go see you on the weekend!
I'll be subtle about it, using casual conversations to find a clue.

I'll do it!
Ring ring... Ring ring... Ring ring... Ring ring...
Ring ring... Ring ring... Ring ring...

Tonight, as I was about to leave another meaningless message and put down the receiver,
The voicemail switched to you, my voice cracked in panic.
“What are you doing tomorrow…?” This plan is completely ruined.
You're laughing at me again, from the other end of the receiver.
I already bought the ticket, I'll go on the first train.
