Unofficial translation/非公式の英訳
The edges of the world were changing at fever pitch
Though humanity didn’t realise they were making progress.
Before they knew it, they had passed the end of the 20th century.
“Wait, we’re not ready! It came too quickly!”
“Have some coffee at the Satellite Café!”
Isn’t that a fantastic slogan?
The world of running lines and dots
Kisses a hasty science.
Gravity is a thing of the past.
We continue endlessly…
Hah ah ah ah ah la la la.
The future, dreamed up by someone,
Follows today.
Thinking of such things, I watch TV.
“Have some coffee at the Satellite Café!”
It has an innovative taste to it.
I gaze at the glittering sea with you
And we rendezvous with a falling comet.
In the drip coffee,
A tiny universe spreads out.
Humans always yearned for the skies.
Now, I look up at the stars with you…
The world of running lines and dots
Kisses an impatient science.
Gravity is a thing of the past—
Up and down don’t exist!
If I could make it with you
To the high-speed future spreading out before us,
Then there would no need to fear.
We continue together into the endless, pathless unknown.
