詩書きとコーヒー [Utagaki To Koohii] [English translation]

Living on the absolute minimum, living in a small six tatami mat room

It would be great if I could live with you, that was all I was thinking of at the time

If the colour of happiness is translucent then it would be better not to see it

Today came to an end even though nothing happened

Living on the absolute minimum, living in a small six tatami mat room

Staring at the ceiling every day, not thinking of anything

The price of happiness is sixty thousand yen

Subtract rent it’s four thousand yen

Fish for memories from that blurry mind

I ended up talking about love with cold eyes

This cold coffee is also the same —

I hate it

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

Turn into memory, you’re becoming a bother

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand

That confident gait

Or how to say goodbye

With the smallest volume, in a room that’s gotten slightly bigger

I scribbled about the stopped gas, my memories and the coldness of the shower

If I were to sell my years I would leave two

And with that remaining I would go to that town

To fish for memories with my left over years

The clear weather, night festival, Sekimachi’s streetlights

Clouds, mirages, the diagonally arranged lyrics

It’s just a play on words

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

Turn into memory, you’re turning into a song

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand these methods of forgetting

Or how to use them now

I tried to write your poem in these cold eyes

I live every day for you now

While forgetting about them all — Dreams, transience, your mouth, those fingertips

Hey look, it’s about time for this song to come to an end

It’s finally your turn, hey

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

Turn into a memory, you, turn into a song

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand I don’t understand

I don’t understand

That people can walk away

I don’t understand that it’s only natural

I don’t understand
