夕焼(ゆうや)け小(こ)焼(や)け雨(あめ)が上(あ)がるよ

The sunset colors the sky, the rain is letting up

夕食(ゆうしょく)の匂(にお)い通(とお)りに満(み)ちてゆく

The scent of dinner spreads through the streets

水(みず)たまりオレンジトンボが通(とお)り過(す)ぎる

A puddle reflects orange; a dragonfly flies past

あの子(こ)がやってくる足音(あしおと)がする

I hear the footsteps of that child drawing near

いつも一人(ひとり) ポプラにもたれ

Always alone, leaning against a poplar

星座(せいざ)を繋(つな)いで宇宙(そら)を見(み)てるみたい

Joining the stars, as if gazing at the universe

僕(ぼく)が鳥(とり)になって君(きみ)を乗(の)せたなら

If I could become a bird and carry you

赤(あか)い星(ほし)のあるさそり座(ざ)を巡(めぐ)ろう

I'd take a trip around Scorpius, where the red stars shine

背中(せなか)でハシャいだ君(きみ)は幾(いく)つもの

Excited on my back

神々(かみがみ)の悪戯(いたずら)な話(はなし)するでしょう

You'd tell story after story about gods playing tricks

肌寒(はださむ)い日(ひ)は僕(ぼく)を膝(ひざ)にのせ

On chilly days, you let me rest on your lap

白(しろ)いマフラーわけてくれたよね

You even shared your white scarf with me

近頃(ちかごろ)見(み)かけないと淋(さび)しくなった頃(ころ)

When I'd been lonely because I hadn't seen you lately

見知(みし)らぬ誰(だれ)かと手(て)をつないで来(き)た

You came, holding a stranger's hand

僕(ぼく)の知(し)らない笑(わら)い声(ごえ)がする

I hear a laugh I've never heard before

幸(しあわ)せそうな君(きみ)に今日(きょう)の星(ほし)は遠(とお)い

You look so happy, but today's stars are so far away

君(きみ)と話(はな)すこと肩(かた)を寄(よ)せること

Talking with you, walking shoulder to shoulder

夜(よる)に冷(ひ)えた頬(ほお) 包(つつ)み込(こ)むこと

Holding your cheek, chilled by the night

僕(ぼく)に出来(でき)たなら其処(そこ)にいれたかな

If I could do that, could I stay there?

もっともっと仲良(なかよ)しで二人(ふたり)いれたよね

Could we be even, even closer together?

さよならさえ伝(つた)えられなくて

I couldn't even say goodbye to you

それでも僕(ぼく)は今日(きょう)此処(ここ)を出(で)てゆくよ

Even so, today I'm leaving this place

また素敵(すてき)な誰(だれ)かに会(あ)えるかな

Will I meet another lovely person?

気紛(きまぐ)れで自由(じゆう)な暮(く)らし僕(ぼく)は野良猫(のらねこ)

Living freely, just as I please—I'm a stray cat
