Tonbo
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi
Dragonfly
Tap tap on the asphalt
With each step I take
I wished to continue being myself
Contradictory hearts are visible
Counting the unbearable nights
In the inescapable darkness
Pretending to sleep again today
I longed to die
In the flower capital, Tokyo
A shallow Boston bag
Heading north
Chewing on the rough bitter sand
Honesty that was subdued
Now seeps into drunkenness
Oh dragonfly of happiness, where
Where are you flying to?
Oh dragonfly of happiness, look
Sticking out your tongue and laughing
From tomorrow, the winter wind
Will blow through my body
Still, I walk boldly
Shaming me
Barefoot, freezing in the cold
Counting the icy nights
But I love this city
And I hate this city
I longed to die
The idiots of Tokyo
Ignoring me, staying silent
In this uncomfortable city
Pouring down the usual alcohol
Soaking in my mediocre drunkenness
Oh dragonfly of happiness, where
Where are you flying to?
Oh dragonfly of happiness, look
Sticking out your tongue and laughing
Oh dragonfly of happiness, where
Where are you flying to?
Oh dragonfly of happiness, look
Sticking out your tongue and laughing
