Hachi
Task Utsushita
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Working with a "pappara,"
never catching a break,
Lo-do-lo-do, lan-lan-lah
Every day runs by in a cycle,
and you realize it's just like how a stray cat lives
Somewhere, someone changes places with another
Ma-no-ma-no, lan-lan-lah
And no one ever notices,
busy chasing intently after numbers
Deep in the bottom of my heart,
there is a locked door...
"You're being foolish," I was told,
and I ignored the knocking...
Saying that "it won't change," I give up,
hurried by the hands of a stopped clock
But in dreams, I'll gladly say,
"I wish upon a star,"
in all seriousness...
Working with a "tick-tock,"
a foolish soldier,
Gat-tan-gat-tan, lan-lan-lah
Make a choice, ready set go,
and you realize it's all just a black muck
Morning and night switch places,
No-ma-no-ma, lan-lan-lah
And no one ever cares,
greedily chasing after numbers
A faint voice comes through
from beyond the door...
Saying that "it's no use," I stand down,
and mutter in contempt in the corner of the room
Just take me away, anywhere will do
But it's doubtful
that a prince would ever come...
"Good evening and good morning to you!",
someone speaks from beyond the door
"It's fine, even if it's locked..."
"I can talk to you from here, can't I?"
I didn't want to hear anything of the sort
I didn't want to, no, not at all
Hey, hey, don't go anywhere!
Be by me, and talk to me...
Saying that "it's worthless," I lied,
but I still want someone to notice me
I'm so cold,
I don't want to touch anyone
No matter what time may pass,
the lock will stay locked...
Working out of a casket,
"Well, but at least..." I don't even want to say it
The hands spin on forever,
and the sound of gentle knocking makes me cry...
