Lyrics

あの日傷つき私の前から

消えてしまったあの子に捧げる

インク滲ませお涙頂戴

こんな手紙はやっぱり燃やそう

若い女抱いたあとで

ワインを薄めて火を消すよに

ひと思いに道に捨てた時

瓶に残る何滴かが私の香りと

万に一つ生きていたら

覚えときなさい

今宵何処かの誰かと寄り添う

少しあなたに似ている少年

運転手よ此処でいいわ

アクセルペダルに石を置いて

帰りなさい

死のドライブへと

リアシートで抱き合いましょう

二人きりで今

夜明け前の崖をめがけ

走り出してゆくわ

Rōmaji Lyrics

Ano hi kizutsuki watashi no mae kara

Kiete shimatta ano ko ni sasageru

Inku nijimase o-namida chōdai

Konna tegami wa yappari moyasō

Wakai onna daita ato de

Wain o usumete hi o kesu yo ni

Hito’omoini, michi ni suteta toki

Bin ni nokoru nanteki ka ga, watashi no kaori to

Man ni hitotsu, ikiteitara

Oboetokinasai

Koyoi, dokoka no dareka to yorisō

Ba¹ sukoshi anata ni nite iru shōnen

Untenshu yo! Koko de ii wa

Akuseru-pedaru ni ishi o oite

Ria-shīto de dakiaimashō

My English Translation

———————————————————————————————————————————

I dedicate this to that child/girl who was hurt/injured that day

And has disappeared from before me

Cause the ink to run/spread on this soppy love story/scene

After all, you will probably burn this kind of/such a letter as this

After embracing/making love with the young woman

I dilute/water down the wine and when I abandoned/dumped her in the street

Suppressing any reconsideration, like putting out a fire

Please consider that some drops which remain in the bottle are my scent

By one in a million chance, if you survive

Retain it in your memory

This evening, cuddle up with someone from somewhere

When¹ it is a young boy resembling you

Driver! Here is fine

So place a stone on the gas pedal and

Return

To a death drive

Now let the two of us

Embrace/Make love to each other in the rear/back seat

We will start going

Toward the cliff before dawn
