BUMP OF CHICKEN Lyrics

週末の大通りを 黒猫が歩く
A black cat is walking on the main street on the weekend.

御自慢の鍵尻尾を水平に 威風堂々と
Proudly holding its tail high with a shiny key, walking with dignity.

その姿から猫は 忌み嫌われていた
The cat was avoided because of its appearance.

闇に溶ける その体目掛けて 石を投げられた
Thrown stones aimed at the cat blending into the darkness.

孤独には慣れていた 寧ろ望んでいた
The cat was used to being alone and even preferred it that way.

誰かを思いやる事なんて 煩わしくて
Thinking about other people was annoying for the cat.

そんな猫を抱き上げる 若い絵描きの腕
A young painter embraced the cat in his arms.

「今晩は 素敵なおチビさん 僕らよく似てる」
He said to the cat, 'Good evening, lovely little one. We look alike.'

腕の中もがいて 必死で引っ掻いて 孤独という名の逃げ道を 走った 走った 生まれて初めての
The cat struggled and scratched desperately in the painter's arms, running away through the escape route named loneliness, for the first time in its life.

優しさが 温もりが まだ信じられなくて どれだけ逃げたって 変わり者は付いて来た ...
Unable to believe in kindness and warmth, the weirdness within never disappeared no matter how far it ran.

それから猫は絵描きと 二度目の冬を過ごす
From that day on, the cat passed the second winter with the painter.

絵描きは 友達に名前をやった 「黒き幸」"ホーリーナイト"
The painter gave the cat a name, 'Black Happiness,' 'Holy Night.'

彼のスケッチブックは ほとんど黒尽くめ
Most of his sketchbooks were filled with black.

黒猫も 初めての友達に くっついて甘えたが ある日 貧しい生活に 倒れる名付け親
The black cat snuggled up to its first-ever friend but one day his impoverished sponsor collapsed.

最後の手紙を書くと 彼はこう言った 「走って 走って こいつを届けてくれ 夢を見て 飛び出した僕の 帰りを待つ恋人へ」
Before he wrote his last letter, he said, 'Run, run, deliver this cat to my lover who waits for my return from my dream adventure.'

不吉な黒猫の絵など売れないが それでもアンタは俺だけ描いた それ故 アンタは冷たくなった 手紙は確かに受け取った
He could not sell ominous black cat drawings, but he drew them only for himself. That was why he had become cold. He did receive the letter.

雪の降る山道を 黒猫が走る
The black cat runs on the snowy mountain path.

今は故き親友との約束を その口に銜えて 「見ろよ、悪魔の使者だ!」 石を投げる子供
With the promise of the deceased sponsor in its mouth, the cat, seen as the devil's envoy by children, was pelted with stones.

千切れそうな手足を 引き摺り なお走った
With limbs that seemed on the brink of detachment, the black cat struggled to run further.

見つけた! この家だ! 手紙を読んだ恋人は もう動かない猫の名に アルファベット1つ 加えて庭に埋めてやった 聖なる騎士を埋めてやった
Finally, it found the destination and arrived. The lover who read the letter buried the black cat in the garden with one more alphabet to its name. The holy knight was also buried with the cat.
