A wish folded into a receipt-paper boat, set loose on a puddle.

Original
古いレシートの裏で
紙の舟を折った
水たまりに 置いた
三丁目の角で
葉っぱを 一枚のせて
くるっと 回った
「行かせてみな」って
そのまま 流した
ぐるぐる 回って
排水口の 格子を抜けて
こんなに 小さいのに
一日を 変えていく
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
折り目の中に 願いを入れる
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
浮いたら たぶん 私のだ
赤い靴紐が
縁石の雨をひきずる
風に 笑いかけた
何も聞いてない風に
手すりの下のガムから
水が 名前をさらう
小さい舟を 見てた
私の話を のせたまま
ぐるぐる 回って
排水口の 格子を抜けて
こんなに 小さいのに
一日を 変えていく
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
折り目の中に 願いを入れる
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
浮いたら たぶん 私のだ
ひとひねり ひとまがり
通りごと 動いた
小さくて 勇敢なやつ
知ってること 教えて
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
折り目の中に 願いを入れる
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
浮いたら たぶん 私のだ
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
水に 夢を選ばせる
English translation
On the back of an old receipt
I folded a paper boat
set it on a puddle
at the corner of the block
Put one leaf on top
it spun right around
"Go on, let it sail"
and I let it go
Round and round it goes
slips through the drain grate
something this small
goes changing the day
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
fold a wish into the crease
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
if it floats, it's probably mine
Red shoelaces
dragging curb-rain behind
I smiled at the wind
the wind that heard nothing
From the gum under the rail
the water sweeps a name away
I watched the little boat
carrying my story on board
Round and round it goes
slips through the drain grate
something this small
goes changing the day
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
fold a wish into the crease
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
if it floats, it's probably mine
One twist, one turn
the whole street moved
small and brave little thing
tell me what you know
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
fold a wish into the crease
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
if it floats, it's probably mine
Paper boat lottery
Paper boat lottery
let the water choose the dream
