気になるあいつは怪獣少年

生き物係の気になるあいつ　鍵っ子社宅の転校生
クラスメイトの気になる噂　ひとりぼっち帰り道
夏空の下、全校集会　7月最後のサヨナラ
少しおしゃべりしてみたくて　後を追った帰り道

社宅越えて、河に沿って　雑木林通り抜けて
駄菓子屋でアイス買って　君は何処に行くのかな？　

町を見下ろした　丘の上の空き地
気になるあいつの　秘密を見てしまった　
宙に投げたアイスに　食いついた大きな口
気になるあいつは　怪獣を飼っていた！

折り返しの夏休み　思い切って声掛けて
「ナイショのナイショのナイショだよ？」って、小指繋いだ約束

原っぱ駆けて河泳いで　君と私と怪獣
忘れられない夕焼け空　君とおしゃべりできた

溶け出したアイスを　鼻先に付けて笑う
夏めくあいつに　ドキドキときめいた
手を繋ごうとして　寄り添った、そのとき
気になるあいつを　怪獣が食べちゃった！

…そういえば今日は、夏休み最後の日だ。

君の声がする　怪獣が笑ってる
君の声で笑いながら　私に手を差し伸べてきたの
「ねぇねぇ、君なの？」「そうだよ！僕だよ！」
君と私、手を繋いで　二学期最初の登校日

学校中に響き渡る　泣き声と叫び声
二人だけの校舎になって　ドキドキときめいて

校庭に出た途端に　始まった運動会
ピストル鳴り響いて　よーいドンで駆け出した！
障害物レースを　1等賞でゴールして
アイスを食べながら　二人で何処に行こう？
宙に投げたアイスに　食いついた大きな口
気になるあいつは　怪獣少年だ！

My Crush Was A Monster Boy

My crush, the animal caretaker, was an exchange student and latchkey kid;
The rumor my classmates fixated on was that he walked home all alone
All assembled under the summer sky, we said our last goodbye of July,
And, wanting to talk with him some, I followed him on his way home

Past his house, along the river, through a grove of trees...
Buying ice cream at the candy store - just where are you going?

On a vacant lot on a hill, overlooking the town,
Having followed my crush, I witnessed his secret
The popsicle thrown into the air, it was devoured by a giant maw;
The boy I had a crush on... was raising a monster!

As summer vacation was starting, he called out with resolve:
"Keep this a super, duper, forever secret?" We agreed and pinky-promised...

Running over fields, swimming in the river - it was you, me, and the monster
I talked endlessly with you, backed by an unforgettable sunset sky...

Eating melted ice cream and laughing over it with a snort,
That summer-suited crush made my heart flutter...
We held each other's hands, and got close, but just then!
The boy I had a crush on... was eaten by his monster!

...Come to think of it, today's the last day of summer vacation.

I heard your voice. And the monster laughed.
Laughing with your voice, it stuck its hand out to me.
"Hey, wait! Is it really you?" "Yes! It's really me!"
You and I joined hands, ready for our first day of second term.

It resounded through the school, all kinds of crying and shouting;
The school was all for us now, and my heart began to pound...

Just as we arrived on campus, the sports meet began;
On the sound of the pistol, on your mark, get set, and run!
In this obstacle course, let's shoot for first place;
As we eat our ice cream, where shall we go next?
The popsicle thrown into the air, it was devoured by a giant maw.
The boy I'm crushing on... is a monster boy!
