その日(ひ)いつも通(とお)り夜(よる)は明(あ)け

That day, the sun rose as usual

まばらな人足(ひとあし)の公園通(こうえんどお)り走(はし)り込(こ)んだ

I ran down the quiet path through the park

お決(き)まりの身支度(みじたく)済(す)ませて

I got myself ready as always

慣(な)れた改札(かいさつ)すり抜(ぬ)けたら揺(ゆ)られ

Passed through the familiar ticket gate, swaying with the train

眠(ねむ)りながら向(む)かう

I slept all the way to my destination

目(め)を閉(と)じても辿(たど)り着(つ)く

I could get there even with my eyes closed

明日(あす)は南(みなみ)へ？

Tomorrow, head south?

NO! 未(いま)だ変(か)われない

No! I still can't change

何(なに)かが恐(おそ)れ?連(つ)れてくる

What is it that brings this fear?

些細(ささい)で重大(じゅうだい)なキャリアを

Holding a small yet important history

抱(だ)きしめ揺(ゆ)られた

I sway along with the train

うちへ帰(かえ)る最短(さいたん)距離(きょり)ゆく

Taking the shortest route home

さかりついた猫(ねこ)の鳴(な)き声(ごえ)

A cat in heat cries out

変(か)わらない路地(ろじ)裏(うら)の風景(ふうけい)がやけにうざい

The unchanging view of the alley feels especially tiresome

明日(あす)は南(みなみ)へ？

Tomorrow, head south?

NO! 軽(かる)い眩暈(めまい)なら

No! If it's only a slight dizziness

何度(なんど)も味(あじ)わっているから

I've felt it many times

些細(ささい)で重大(じゅうだい)な不安(ふあん)を

Why not let something happen that can calm

鎮(しず)める事件(じけん)がいい

This small yet momentous unease?

一日中(いちにちじゅう)国道(こくどう)は

All day long, along the highway

なんかハシッテイテ…

Something is always rushing by…

吸(す)い込(こ)まれそう

As if I'm being pulled in

NO! 言葉(こえ)にならないよ

No! I can't put it into words

何(なに)かがジャマをするみたい

As if something stands between us

些細(ささい)で重大(じゅうだい)な幸福(しあわせ)

At midnight, even that

見失(みうしな)う午前(ごぜん)零(れい)時(じ)

Small yet momentous happiness is out of sight

NO! 何(なに)かが違(ちが)うよ

No! Something isn't right

意味(いみ)のない記憶(きおく)組(く)み替(か)えて

Fitting meaningless memories back together

些細(ささい)で重大(じょうだい)な幸福(しあわせ)

That small yet momentous happiness—

いつから気付(きづ)いてる？

Since when had I already sensed it?
