ENGLISH
I merely go through the same things everyday in this simple life.
But I'm cool with it.
I cancel plans to go out with a friend,
and stay in my room to watch a night game. *1
It was 3 months ago that she left me.
Leaving me with only a faint vague memory
It came to an end quietly without tears or words
the two of us once so into each other, now seem like a lie
Lately I'm awfully weak when it comes to big breasted chicks.
Hey, I'm a guy.
Even when I hit on the new girl Mari,
it's like she doesn't even notice.
I stick out like a sore thumb cause,
the mood around the office is tense, *2
what with this recession and all.
They say "as long as the boss is still chewing you out,
your career is still alive", *3
I think I'd like mine to be in tip top shape.
If I just try a bit harder
I wonder, if good things'll be headed my way
Eventhough it's raining today, someday...
They've been calling me a "gloomy gus" since I was a sprout.
In my one dining kitchen apartment in Komae *4
I keep 2 parrots.
Sometimes when I go home
my mother looks at her worthless son
and with a stern face she says again
"I'd like to hold a grandson in my lifetime"
I kinda understand what she's getting at,
and I wanna find a nice girl to settle down with but...
believe in me just a little more won't ya?
if things go on like this, there's no going back.
I always imagine it'll be sunny after the rain
I was mistaken for a competent worker.
In those days I just plowed through the crowds
to visit our long standing business ties,
bowing my head each time.
This is probably the last year my youth will see me through.
From here on out, who knows how it'll go?
It might be nice to just have fun and live for the moment.
As I ponder this, the sun sets on another day.
I've had enough, I'm dead tired.
Yet I've come all this way saying exactly that.
Eventhough it's raining today, someday...
If I try just a little harder.
I wonder if good things'll be headed my way
I always imagine it'll be sunny after the rain, someday
I'll cross the rainbow.
