令和二年 [Reiwa Ninen] [English translation]

All packed for travel, somebody’s calling

Passion is nearly far from passionate

Today’s sunny, winds are dry

Day for departure, I’m not leaving

Your humming tune sounds like

The BGM in this town today

Behind your unreliable face mask

Unanswered dreams, that’s the way it is

Ruefully glaring at the sky, second year of Reiwa

A first-run showing, a new release tour

Entrance ceremonies canceled, second year of Reiwa

Second year of Reiwa

This song playing with impatience and leisure

Aches so bad with no psychics apart

That’s not sad, that’s not fun either

Emotions fall apart under the eaves

Playing catch in the street

Children’s laughter and imbalance

My tummy’s growling even at times like this

Watch you go out shopping

I’m worried about that, second year of Reiwa

Why do I hesitate to pull down the curtain?

Watch you in the sunset, second year of Reiwa

Second year of Reiwa

I can treat you nicely

I can hurt you badly

Weapons and medicine

Which do I decide on?

Changing from a corner of the world

Each cluster of cosmos, isolating

Whoever knows how to get involved

Our hearts, copy that

Cherry blossoms in the locked-down park

No one caught them coming into blossom

Bad for you, bad for you

We were supposed to make a promise

No job, money only precedes me

Abandoned citizen, second year of Reiwa

Shot in the dark, but it’s okay

I lied to myself, second year of Reiwa

Second year of Reiwa

Second year of Reiwa
