The Building at Night

この建物の夜

On the last night she listens to the noise she always resented — percussion built from the building itself.

Original

上の階の 足音

十一時 きっかり

毎日 同じ

今日も 同じ

 

配管が 鳴る

誰かが 水を 使ってる

起きてる人が いる

名前は 知らない

 

うるさいと 思ってた

ずっと 思ってた

今夜だけは

聞いていたい

 

This building

誰かの 生活

壁の 向こうで

今日も 続く

This building

明日も 続く

 

廊下の 電気が

一つだけ 切れてる

半年 このまま

誰も 言わない

 

明日から

私も 言えない

直らないまま

覚えてる

 

うるさいと 思ってた

ずっと 思ってた

今夜だけは

聞いていたい

 

This building

誰かの 生活

壁の 向こうで

今日も 続く

This building

明日も 続く

 

明日 誰かが

ここに 来る

上の足音を

その人が 聞く

 

This building

誰かの 生活

壁の 向こうで

今日も 続く

This building

明日も 続く

English translation

Footsteps upstairs

eleven o’clock exactly

the same every day

the same today

 

The pipes knock

someone is running water

someone else is awake

I don't know their name

 

I used to think it was noise

I thought so all along

just tonight

I want to keep listening

 

This building

somebody's life

on the other side of the wall

goes on today

This building

goes on tomorrow

 

One hallway light

has been out

half a year like this

nobody says anything

 

From tomorrow

I can't say it either

still unfixed

I'll remember it

 

I used to think it was noise

I thought so all along

just tonight

I want to keep listening

 

This building

somebody's life

on the other side of the wall

goes on today

This building

goes on tomorrow

 

Tomorrow someone

will come here

and the footsteps upstairs

will be theirs to hear

 

This building

somebody's life

on the other side of the wall

goes on today

This building

goes on tomorrow
