English Translation

One morning, I realized that
The sofa I have is smaller than I thought
It's not like I don't have enough money
But the furniture store is far from the neighbourhood
Then, it crossed my mind
That the house next door is just a one-minute walk
Things will work out one way or another, I thought
And so, I carried a kitchen knife with me

If we're not fulfilled in the slightest,
Then let's go snatch everything away
And look, as for something like a rationality as flimsy as a piece of paper, just blow it away
Dear god, if every last part of this world is really kind to its people,
Then it's fine to let us have just a little bit of it, right?

One afternoon, I thought
That I'd give you flowers since you're dying
I don't have enough money, or more like I have none
So a flower bouquet is out of the budget
And then I realized that
The flower shop next door is closed today
So I thought I'd just have to break in and steal some
And I waited for the opportune time

Just smile, stop putting on some serious look on your face and trying to act tough
Because the truth is, you're nowhere near decent, either
Just forget any common sense that doesn't bring in money already
Do you really think that one can understand another's pain?
After 100 years has passed, anyone will be nothing but bones
So for at least today it's fine for even us to make mistakes, right?

One night, I came to understand
That no dream of any sort lies ahead of me
I never even nonce thought
That you'll be gone
The owner of the flower shop was kind
But I didn't feel even feel guilty for stealing from them
Is there any difference between a robbery and a flower bouquet?
What's different between the two?

If we're not fulfilled in the slightest,
Then let's go snatch everything away
And look, as for something like a rationality as rubbish as some piece of garbage, just blow it away
Dear god if every last part of this world is really kind to its people,
Then it's fine to let us have just a little bit of it, right?
It's fine to let us be judged for just a bit, right?

One morning, I realized
That the world is much bigger than I thought
Even though my hard work wasn't lacking in the slightest,
Nothing came out of it, everything was out of reach
I quit my job and I thought
That there is no relief anywhere
It's still better for everything to just end
The sofa looked small
