Salesman's Loneliness

hanbaagaa shoppu
chiisa na futarigake no shiito de
bon'yari to soto o nagameteru

michi no mukougawa no
kirabiyaka na Billboard
na mo shiranu dareka ga waratteru

kono machi wa doushite
kokoro o moteasobi
setsunasa ya morosa wa
amae ni shika mienai
natsu no samishisa

barairo no mirai wa
koko ni wa konai kamo
kono machi o yukikau dare hitori mo
shiawasesou ni wa mienai mono

dakedo akirameru ni wa
mada hayasugiru daro
hohoemi no hitotsu mo motenakute

sameta koohii no naka de
ase o nijimasete
moetatsu gogo ga sakenderu

kimi wa tachiagari
doa o oshiakete
arukidasu
manatsu no e no naka e

Salesman's Loneliness

At the hamburger shop
Sitting alone in a small booth
Absentmindedly staring outside

On the other side of the street
A flashy billboard
Someone unknown is laughing

Why is this town
Playing with my heart
Pain and loneliness
Can only be seen as dependence
The loneliness of summer

The rose-colored future
Might not come here
No one walking this town
Seems happy

But to give up
Would be too soon
Not even a single smile to hold

In the cold coffee
Sweat dripping
The scorching afternoon screams

You stand up
Push the door open
Start walking
Into the midsummer picture
