Lyrics
鉛の空重く垂れ込み
– namari no sora omoku tarekomi
真白に淀んだ太陽が砕けて
– masshiro ni yodonda taiyou ga kudakete
耳鳴りを尖らせる
– miminari wo togaraseru
ひゅるりひゅるり低いツバメが
– hiyururi hiyururi hikui tsubame ga
8の字なぞってビルの谷を翔る
– hachi no ji nazote biru no tani wo kakeru
もうじきに夕立が来る
– moujiki ni yuudachi ga kuru
曇天の道を傘を忘れて
– donten no michi wo kasa wo wasurete
歩く彼女は雨に怯えてる
– aruku kanojo wa ame ni obieteru
ので僕も弱虫ぶら下げて空を仰ぐ
– no de boku mo yowamushi burasagete sora wo aogu
あちらこちらあんよは上手
– achira kochira an’yo wa jiozu
珈琲屋に寄って一休み極めたら
– koohiiya ni yotte hitoyasumi kiwametara
帰れない帰らない
– kaerenai kaeranai
曇天の道をぶらりぶらぶら
– donten no michi wo burari burabura
歩く二人は足軽のごとく
– aruku futari wa ashigaru no gotoku
危険好きの誰かのふりをする小心物共
– kiken suki no dareka no furi wo suru shoushin monodono
曇天の道を傘を忘れて
– donten no michi wo kasa wo wasurete
歩く彼女は雨に怯えてる
– aruku kanojo wa ame ni obieteru
ので僕も弱虫ぶら下げて空を仰ぐ
– no de boku mo yowamushi burasagete sora wo aogu
English Translation
Leaden skies droop heavily
The sun, bleached white and stagnant, crumbles and
Sharpens the ringing in my ears
Swooping, swooping, a low-flying sparrow
Traces a figure 8 as it flies through a valley of buildings
Evening rain is approaching fast
On a cloudy road, having forgotten her umbrella
She walks, afraid of the rain, so
Scaredy cat that I am, I too look up into the sky
Here, there, how clever of you to toddle along
Once we’ve stopped by a coffee shop and had a good rest
We can’t go home, won’t go home
Walking aimlessly on a cloudy road
The two of us treading like foot soldiers
Cowards pretending to be someone who loves danger
On a cloudy road, having forgotten her umbrella
She walks, afraid of the rain, so
Scaredy cat that I am, I too look up into the sky
