私達はまるでオーファンだった
家に帰ることはできず
ネオンの海を漂流した
互いの腕を救命胴衣にして
姿は透明だと信じ
マネキンより無名で
人よりもカラスに近く
捕獲を欺くため
放縦に身を隠した
夕闇が深まるほど
節度を無くし
雨足が強まるほど
笑いは高く
道行く人が私達になれない不遇を憐れんだ
私達はオーファンで
あの街のアレルゲンだった
****************************************
We were just like orphans.
Couldn’t go home;
We were floating on the sea of neon,
Holding each other’s arms as life jackets.
Belief that people couldn’t see us;
More nameless than mannequins;
Closer to ravens than human beings;
Hiding under dissipation to fool capture.
The thicker darkness accumulated,
The more unrestrained.
The harder rain fell,
The louder our laughter echoed.
We pitied people coming and going.
Just because they couldn’t become us;
Such bad luck.
We were orphans.
And an allergen of that area.
