Sunadokei to Hot Milk (砂時計とホットミルク)

[nebulancer]

Kanji:

 

In the blink of an eye, the calendar flips its pages all on its own

I mumbled to the mirror, “I feel like I’m gonna get thrown off.”

Listening closely to the common scenery, I gazed through the viewfinder

The sun sets, the moon rises… Well, I guess that happens, doesn’t it?

 

Right now, I don’t really get stuff like “future prospects” or “responsibilities”

But I just want to connect to, and tell things to, the ones who are so close I can touch

 

This whole time, I’d been searching for the key to my story

As the clock ticks on

Calling them my partners and stuff is a little embarrassing, but

Once I finally met them, this world started spinning

Waking up early’s just a little tough still, but… Well, I can handle it

 

Come on, let’s walk on ahead… and drink some hot milk or something too

 

In a single span of my nap, the rain passes alongside a tinge of the blues

I guess I’ll clean up the stacked-up laundry I had to wash

Looks like deep inside my drawer, I’d forgotten about this empty photo frame

On a whim, I decide to take a picture with those guys next time

 

Right now, I don’t really get stuff like “dreams for my future” or “roles to fulfill”

But I just want to connect, and tell things, since I can feel like there’s worth doing it

 

This whole time, I’d been searching for what lay beyond that melody

As the clock ticks on

Calling them my partners and stuff is a little embarrassing, but

Once I finally met them, my feelings gushed right out

I’m having a staredown with the shift table right now, but… Well, I can handle it

 

Even if I suddenly stop and look at the traffic lights at the intersection,

It’s not related to me

But if it’s making the people walking about in the city sway around to its time

 

I’m sure that when I’m not looking at it, Mr. Hourglass is

Smirking mischievously, as it walks ahead trying to go at twice the pace

 

This whole time, I’d been searching for the key to my story

As the clock ticks on

Calling them my partners and stuff is a little embarrassing, but

Once I finally met them, this world started spinning

Waking up early’s just a little tough still, but… Well, I can handle it

 

Come on, it’s right over there… let’s drink some hot milk or something too

mabataki shiteru ma ni hitori de ni susumu karendaa

“furiotosare sou da yo” to kagami ni tsubuyaita

nanigenai keshiki ni mimi sumase nozoita faindaa

hi ga shizumi tsuki ga noboru sorya maa sou nandakedo

 

shourai toka sekinin toka imada yoku wakaranai kedo

tsunagitai naa tsutaetai naa te no todoki sou na kyori


zutto sagashiteita kono sutoorii e no kagi

tokei ga kizamu

chotto nakama toka sou iu no terekusai kedo

yatto meguriaeta kono sekai wa mawaru

tada hayaoki mo tsurai kedo maa yatte ikesou dayo

 

hora aruki dasou yo hotto miruku demo nonde

 


hitonemuri shiteru ma ni sugisatta ame to chotto shita buruu

tamatte iru arai mono katazukete shimaou

hikidashi no oku ni wasureteta kara no fotofureemu

kimagure ni mata kondo aitsura to totte miyou

 


miraizou toka yakuwari toka imada yoku wakaranai kedo

tsunagitai naa tsutaetai naa tegotae kanjiteru

 


zutto sagashite ita ano merodii no saki

tokei ga kizamu

chotto nakama toka sou iu no terekusai kedo

yatto meguriaeta afuredasu omoi

ima wa shifuto hyou to niramekko demo yatte ikesou dayo 

 


futo tachidomatte mite mo kousaten shingou

jibun to wa mukankei

machi wo iku hitobito ga onnaji jikan ni yurareteiru nara

 

kitto miteinai toki sunadokeisan wa

itazuragao de sotto kakeashigimi ni saki wo aruiteiru


 

zutto sagashiteita kono sutoorii e no kagi

tokei ga kizamu

chotto nakama toka sou iu no terekusai kedo

yatto meguriaeta kono sekai wa mawaru

tada hayaoki mo tsurai kedo maa yatte ikesou dayo

 

hora sugu soko dayo hotto miruku demo nonde

 

Kanji:

 

瞬きしてる間に ひとりでに進むカレンダー

｢振り落とされそうだよ｣と 鏡に呟いた

何気ない景色に 耳澄ませ 覗いたファインダー

陽が沈み月が昇る そりゃまあ そうなんだけど

 

ショウライとか セキニンとか 未だ良く分からないけど

繋ぎたいなあ 伝えたいなあ 手の届きそうな距離


 

ずっと 探していた このストーリーへの鍵

時計が刻む 

ちょっと仲間とかそういうの照れくさいけど

やっと 巡り会えた この世界は回る

ただ早起きもつらいけど まぁ やっていけそうだよ

 

ほら歩きだそうよ ホットミルクでも飲んで


 

一眠りしてる間に過ぎ去った 雨とちょっとしたブルー

たまっている洗い物 片付けてしまおう

引き出しの奥に忘れてた 空のフォトフレーム

気まぐれに また今度 あいつらと撮ってみよう


 

ミライゾウとか ヤクワリとか 未だ良く分からないけど

繋ぎたいなあ 伝えたいなあ 手応え感じてる


 

ずっと探していた あのメロディーの先

時計が刻む 

ちょっと仲間とかそういうの照れくさいけど

やっと 巡り会えた 溢れだす想い

今はシフト表と睨めっこでも やっていけそうだよ


 

ふと立ち止まってみても 交差点 信号

自分とは無関係

街を往く人々が 同じ時間に揺られているなら


 

きっと見ていない時 砂時計さんは

いたずら顔で そっと駆け足気味に先を歩いている


 

ずっと探していた このストーリーへの鍵

時計が刻む 

ちょっと仲間とかそういうの照れくさいけど

やっと 巡り会えた この世界は回る

ただ早起きもつらいけど まぁ やっていけそうだよ

 

ほらすぐそこだよ ホットミルクでも飲んで
