ネコに風船
大塚愛 Lyrics

あたしのおうち 商店街の本屋の横
Beside the bookstore in the shopping district lies my humble abode.

毎日 車と 変わらず たくさんの人たち流れる
Every day, cars and people go by in a bustling commotion.

気づけば ネコと呼ばれて
Before I knew it, I was being called a cat.

自分がネコだって 気づいた
I realized that indeed, I was a cat all along.

気づけば ネコ科のなんとかってゆう種類に わけられてた
And before I knew it, I was classified as some cat species or another within the Felidae family.

あたしを見て にゃーぁおって言ってくる
People look at me and say, "Meow!"

バカじゃない? と言っても 通じなくて
Even if I tell them, "Are you stupid?", they don't understand me.

かわいいと一瞬のもてはやし
For a moment, they praise me as "cute".

好きなトキでかけて
I run around whenever I feel like it.

好きなトキに甘えて
And snuggle up whenever I feel like it.

精一杯 ただ 生きている
I'm just living my life to the fullest.

今 だからこそ こんな暗い世界にも 小さな愛はたくさんある いつだってそこにある 自分で見つけにいける距離
And now, precisely because this world is so full of darkness, there is an abundance of little love all around. It's always there, within our reach, waiting for us to find it ourselves.

あたしのおうち 商店街の八百屋の隣 自分勝手な奴らが毎日 ゴミを捨てる 火のついたたばこ踏んで あたしの肉球は火傷
Near the greengrocer in the shopping district lies my house. Selfish people dump their trash there every day, and I get burnt paws from cigarette butts.

このやろうって言っても 通じなくて 冷たい眼差しで見てくる
And even when I tell them, "You rascal!" they don't understand me and just give me cold, heartless stares.

好きなトキに泣いて 好きなトキに安らいで
I cry whenever I feel like it and find solace whenever I feel like it.

シンプルなことだったはずが 難しかったりする
Things that are supposed to be simple end up being complicated.

こんな悲しい世界でも 小さな愛はたくさんある
Even in this sad world, there is an abundance of little love.

大きくなくていい ふくらんでゆく 赤い風船になる
It doesn't have to be grand - a little love can grow into something big, like a growing red balloon.

涙は 涙の種のまま 咲かせてやろう 咲かせてやろう
Tears remain as seeds of tears, but I'm going to make them bloom, I'm going to make them bloom!
