Green Light, Go

青で行く

Waiting out a red light at an empty crossing — the crossing signal itself is played as percussion.

Original

車なんて 一台も

通らない 交差点

それでも 立ち止まる

赤が 変わるまで

 

誰も 見てないのに

律儀に 待ってる

こういうところが

自分でも おかしい

 

渡ってしまえば

それで 済むのに

待っている時間が

なぜか 好きだ

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

青で 行く (行く)

Green light, go

Green light, go

それまで ここで

Green light, go

Green light, go

足だけ 鳴らしてる

 

横断歩道の 白が

濡れて 光ってる

反対側には 誰も

立っていない

 

信号機の 音が

やけに 大きい

四時の街に

それだけ 響く

 

渡ってしまえば

それで 済むのに

待っている時間が

なぜか 好きだ

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

青で 行く (行く)

Green light, go

Green light, go

それまで ここで

Green light, go

Green light, go

足だけ 鳴らしてる

 

待ってるあいだが

いちばん 静かだ

変わった瞬間に

もう 走ってる

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

青で 行く (行く)

Green light, go

Green light, go

それまで ここで

Green light, go

Green light, go

足だけ 鳴らしてる

English translation

Not a single car

comes through this crossing

and still I stand and wait

until the red turns

 

Nobody is watching

and I wait it out properly

this side of me —

even I find it strange

 

If I just crossed

that would be the end of it

but the waiting itself

somehow I like it

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

I go on green (I go)

Green light, go

Green light, go

until then, right here

Green light, go

Green light, go

only my feet keep tapping

 

The white of the crosswalk

is wet and shining

on the other side

nobody is standing

 

The signal's ticking

is unusually loud

in the four AM street

it's the only sound

 

If I just crossed

that would be the end of it

but the waiting itself

somehow I like it

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

I go on green (I go)

Green light, go

Green light, go

until then, right here

Green light, go

Green light, go

only my feet keep tapping

 

The waiting

is the quietest part

and the moment it changes

I'm already running

 

Green light, go

Green light, go

I go on green (I go)

Green light, go

Green light, go

until then, right here

Green light, go

Green light, go

only my feet keep tapping
