ほんとのところ
作詞︰刄田綴色
たぬきが死んだら
たぬきが死んだら
カラスが死んだら
カラスが死んだら
ほんとのところには
たぬきが死んだら
たぬきは暖かかった
カラスが死んだら
カラスは泣いてた
うちの猫が鷹に喰われたんだ
空蝉の延べの紙の空
我が背が断つそのこれや翼
だれでも死にたくない
だれでも死にたくない
うちの猫が鷹に喰われたんだ
鯉
うちの猫が鷹に喰われたんだ
Actually
Lyrics: Hata Toshiki
When the tanuki died
When the tanuki died
When the crow died
When the crow died
In actuality
When the tanuki died
The tanuki was warm
When the crow died
The crow was crying
My cat was eaten by a hawk
Paper sky laid out over cicada shells
My back is severed from its wings
Nobody wants to die
Nobody wants to die
My cat was eaten by a hawk
Koi
My cat was eaten by a hawk
NOTES:
My favorite song from Tokyo Jihen’s final album, color bars. Farewell, Incidents. Here’s hoping Shiina goes back to full-time solo work.
Koi is a type of fish.
