最初の話 || The First Tale

歌詞

外はもう寒い
水温は高い

名前はまだ無い
仕方ない

それほど退屈はしない
外はやっぱり寒い

私は蛙
井戸の中でまだ生きてる

小さな王様
そうやって生きてる

名前はもうある
強くはない

ちっとも上手くいかない
嘘は少しもない

私は還る
水へと還って消えてゆく

名無しの神様
そうやって消える

誰がそれを変えるのだろうか
小さな王様

何がそれを殺すか
名無しの神様

それは遠く古いだけの
最初の話

いつかここから
始まりへと帰る話

Translation

It’s already so cold outside
Though the water is hot.

I am still nameless.
There’s nothing I can do about it.

I’m not that bored
But it sure is cold outside…

“I’m a frog.
I’m still living inside a well.”

A little king lives
Just like that.

They’ve already got a name
But they’re not strong.

Things don’t go smoothly at all.
They don’t tell a single lie.

“I’m heading home.
I’ll head back to the water and fade away.”

And thus,
The nameless god faded away.

Who will change
The little king?

What will kill
The nameless god?

This is a tale from the distant past.
It’s the first tale.

This tale will someday
Return to the beginning from here.
