Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 今日も朝から路上で | kyou mo asa kara rojou de | Today is yet another day of heading out early |
| 僕の仕事は靴磨 | boku no shigoto wa kutsumigaki | to work as a roadside shoeshiner |
| 酒で狂った父親に | sake de kurutta chichioya ni | so that I can make enough money |
| 貢ぐため | mitsugu tame | to support my violent drunk of a father. |
| 神様は皆平等に | kamisama wa minna byoudou ni | God was kind enough |
| 動く心臓をくれたけど | ugoku shinzou o kureta kedo | to bestow all people with one beating heart each, |
| それ以外 何一つ | sore igai nani hitotsu | but other than that, |
| 僕にくれなかった | boku ni kurenakatta | he hasn’t given me a single thing. |
| 一人目の客は鶏頭 | hitorime no kyaku wa tori atama | My first client had a rooster’s head, |
| 二人目の客は猫頭 | futarime no kyaku wa neko atama | my second had a cat’s. |
| 「ちゃんと拭けよ」と唾を吐いて | "chanto fuke yo" to tsuba o haite | “Put your back into it!” they’d spit at me, |
| 怒鳴られて | donararete | yelling with anger. |
| ってかさっきから横に誰か居て | tteka sakki kara yoko ni dareka ite | …It’s been bothering me for a while now, |
| ずっと僕を見詰めている？ | zutto boku o mitsumete iru? | but I’m pretty sure someone’s standing off to the side staring at me? |
| 見上げたら強引に | miagetara gouin ni | As soon as I looked up, |
| 話し掛けられた | hanashikakerareta | she got right up in my face. |
| 『あなたが手に持ってる | “anata ga te ni motteru | “What’s that black thing |
| その黒いのは何？』 | sono kuroi no wa nani?” | you’ve got in your hand there?” |
| 『五月蝿い邪魔だよ | “urusai jama da yo | “Shut up, you’re in the way! |
| あっちへ行けよ | atchi e ike yo | Go, leave me alone. |
| 馬鹿にしてんなら帰れよ』 | baka ni shiten nara kaere yo” | You’re wasting your time if you’re thinking of messing with me.” |
| 其奴は俯いて | soitsu wa utsumuite | She hung her head |
| 不貞腐れたような顔して | futekusareta you na kao shite | and started to pout. |
| 『これでお代になるかしら』って | kore de odai ni naru kashira tte | “Is this enough to cover the cost?” she asked, |
| お守りを差し出した | omamori o sashidashita | and held out a small charm. |
| 汚れちゃった魂の | yogorechatta tamashii no | My soul’s already been tainted |
| 殴られて傷だらけの | nagurarete kizu darake no | and I’m covered in bruises from beatings. |
| こんな僕に今更 | konna boku ni imasara | God, what on earth |
| 何か用ですか神様 | nanika you desu ka kamisama | could you possibly want from me now? |
| お守りを差し出して | omamori o sashidashite | After giving me the charm, |
| 彼奴が笑ったその顔は | aitsu ga waratta sono kao wa | she smiled, and with that expression, |
| 教会で見た聖母様の | kyoukai de mita seibo sama no | she looked just like that of the paintings of the Virgin Mary |
| 絵みたいだった！ | e mitai datta! | I’d seen at church! |
| 「世界はじきに終わるのだ | “sekai wa jiki ni owaru no da | “The end of the world is nigh, |
| 望むと望まざるに関わらず」 | nozomu to nozomazaru ni kakawarazu” | whether you embrace it to or not!” |
| 襤褸絹みたいな爺さんが | boroginu mitai na jiisan ga | An old man cries, |
| 叫んでる | sakenderu | clad in something akin to ragged silk. |
| 気付けば横に彼奴が居て | kizukeba yoko ni aitsu ga ite | Before I realized it, the girl was always by my side |
| 色んな事を話し合って | ironna koto o hanashiatte | talking to me about whatever crossed her mind. |
| それだけが少しだけ | sore dake ga sukoshi dake | That alone was enough to make me |
| 僕は嬉しかった | boku wa ureshikatta | the slightest bit happy. |
| ああ今日も朝から路上で | ā kyou mo asa kara rojou de | Ugh, today is yet another day of heading out early |
| 望んでなどいない靴磨き | nozonde nado inai kutsumigaki | to work by the roadside shining shoes I never wanted to shine. |
| いつしかそんな毎日は | itsushika sonna mainichi wa | Without me noticing, that everyday routine |
| 変わってく | kawatteku | had started to change. |
| だんだん少なくなってきて | dandan sukunaku natte kite | She started coming by less and less, |
| ついに彼奴は来なくなった | sui ni aitsu wa konaku natta | and eventually stopped dropping by altogether. |
| 解ってる 話すのを | wakatteru hanasu no o | I knew what had happened. I’m sure that someone |
| きっと止められたんだろ | kitto tomerareta ndaro | forbade her from speaking to me. |
| 『あなたが心に持ってる | “anata ga kokoro ni motteru | “What’s that black thing |
| その黒いのは何？』 | sono kuroi no wa nani?” | you’ve got in your heart there?” |
| 『これはもうずっと消えないんだ | “kore wa mou zutto kienai nda | “This isn’t ever going away, |
| どんなに泣いても喚いても』 | donnani naite mo wameite mo” | no matter how much I cry or how hard I wail.” |
| 彼奴のようにもっと | aitsu no you ni motto | I wonder if, |
| 愛されたなら僕もきっと | aisareta nara boku mo kitto | had I been loved like she was, |
| 人に優しくできるような | hito ni yasashiku dekiru you na | I could’ve become |
| 人間になれたかな | ningen ni nareta kana | a kinder person. |
| 汚れちゃった魂で | yogorechatta tamashii de | My soul’s already been tainted, |
| 殴られて傷だらけで | nagurarete kizu darake de | and I’m covered in bruises from beatings, |
| それでも愛されたいよって | soredemo aisaretai yo tte | but I still want to be loved. I can’t even put that desire |
| 口に出すことも出来ずに | kuchi ni dasu koto mo dekizu ni | into words. |
| 本当はもう分かっていた | hontou wa mou wakatte ita | Honestly, I’ve known for a while. |
| 嫌いになれない父親も | kirai ni narenai chichioya mo | I’m sure that even my father I can’t find it in myself to hate was, |
| 産まれた時はきっと皆 | umareta toki wa kitto mina | just like everyone else, |
| 天使みたいだった！ | tenshi mitai datta! | born as innocent as an angel! |
| 幸福な夢を見た | koufuku na yume o mita | I had a blessed dream. |
| 夢の中で彼奴と二人 | yume no naka de aitsu to futari | In my dream, I was with her. |
| 手を繋いでゆっくり歩いた | te o tsunaide yukkuri aruita | We walked slowly along, hand in hand, |
| 横を見れば満面の笑みで | yoko o mireba manmen no emi de | and when I glanced to her beside me, I’d see her brilliant smile. |
| 目が覚めて泣いてしまった | me ga samete naite shimatta | When I woke up, I burst into tears. |
| 薄汚いベッドの上で | usugitanai beddo no ue de | I had a dream I had no right to |
| 見てはいけない夢だったんだ | mite wa ikenai yume datta nda | atop this dingy bed. |
| もう二度と叶わないのだから | mou nido to kanawanai no dakara | Ah, I know I’ll never see her again, |
| ああ 何故 | aa naze | so why |
| 出会ってしまったんだ | deatte shimatta nda | did the two of us ever have to meet? |
| その日は特に酷かった | sono hi wa toku ni hidokatta | One day he was particularly cruel. |
| どうせまた賭け事で負けたんだ | douse mata kakegoto de maketa nda | My father must’ve lost at gambling again. |
| 酔い散らかして当り散らす | yoichirakashite atarichirasu | Sputtering around in a drunken stupor, |
| 父親 | chichioya | he took issue with anything I did. |
| ふっと目に入った | futto me ni haitta | Suddenly, movement caught my eye. |
| 僕の首から下げたお守り | boku no kubi kara sageta omamori | From my neck, the charm swung down. |
| 「金に変えてくるから寄越せ」と | "kane ni kaete kuru kara yokose" to | “‘Mma go pawn this for some cash. Givvit ‘ere,” he said, |
| 乱暴に手を伸ばす | ranbou ni te o nobasu | reaching out for it violently. |
| 汚れちゃった魂の | yogorechatta tamashii no | My soul’s already been tainted |
| 殴られて傷だらけの | nagurarete kizu darake no | and I’m covered in bruises from beatings. |
| こんな僕に産まれた | konna boku ni umareta | If despite all that, you claim |
| 意味があるとでも言うなら | imi ga aru to demo iu nara | that there’s still value in the fact that I was born… |
| ぼこぼこに殴られて | bokoboko ni nagurarete | He beats me to a pulp, |
| 血反吐を吐いて横たわって | chihedo o haite yokotawatte | until I keel over, spitting blood onto the floor. |
| こんな毎日に何か意味が | konna mainichi ni nanika imi ga | If you claim that there’s still some kind of value |
| あると言うなら | aru to iu nara | in this everyday routine… |
| ああ 骨が砕ける音がして | aa hone ga kudakeru oto ga shite | Oh no, I can hear my bones breaking, |
| 意識はもう曖昧で | ishiki wa mou aimai de | and my consciousness is fading. |
| それでも固く握った右手 | soredemo kataku nigitta migite | Throughout it all, I keep my right hand in a tight grip. |
| 絶対に離すものか！ | zettai ni hanasu mono ka! | I will never let it go! |
| 痺れを切らした父親が | shibire o kirashita chichioya ga | Having lost his patience, my father said |
| 「そのまま死ねよ」と出て行った | "sono mama shine yo" to dete itta | “Well go on ‘n just die like that then” and left. |
| 折れた指の隙間から | oreta yubi no sukima kara | The charm shone |
| 光ったお守り | hikatta omamori | from inside the gaps between my fingers. |
| 産まれて初めて勝ち取った | umarete hajimete kachitotta | It is my treasure, |
| 僕の宝物だ | boku no takaramono da | the first I’ve won since being born. |
