子供の頃の夏休み、お昼寝から目覚めて母親が夕飯の買い物に出かけていたりして
一人ぽっちで聞いた蝉時雨
Summer holidays in my childhood, when I woke up from a nap and realized that
my mother had gone out shopping for dinner, I heard chirring of cicadas in chorus
on my own.

世界が、ただこの暑さと蝉時雨と私だけを残して止まってしまったのではないかと、
どうしようもない不安と淋しさと気だるさで身動きが出来ない
Feeling like that the world has stopped leaving only this heat, the sound of cicadas
and me, I can't move with a hopeless sense of unease, loneliness and lassitude.

ただじっと耳を澄まして、母親の廊下を歩くパタパタとう音を待ち続けていた
I used to strain my ears and waite for the sound of my mother's footsteps
in the corridor.

こんなときは、とにかく外に出て動いている人を見るに限るので、
必死で外に出る準備をする。
In this case, all I can do is to go out and to see someone moving,
so I desperately prepare to go out.

玄関を急いで出て、まずエレベーターのボタンを押してからドアの鍵をかけに戻る。

これは時間のない毎朝の習慣だけれど、今日はそれ程切羽詰った感じで外に出たかった。
This is my usual morning custom when I have no time, and I wanted to go out so urgently today.
夕涼みで、ぶらぶら歩いている老人の姿にほっとして、すっかり気分は落ち着いていた。
It's a relief to see an old man strolling around to enjoy the cool breeze, and
I completely calmed down.
もう、夏の午後は昼寝をしないと心に決めた
I decided not to take naps on summer afternoons any more.
