Nihon Bito Monogatari / Story of a Japanese Man (poem)

Where am I in this world of yours,
doko kakere de yo ka?
Am i nothing but a gruff voice
trying to control your life, then?
Nan da ka, nani de yo?
Washa no kokoro, tonde tonde yo.

Am I just invisible,
do I have an existence?
Demo, anata no migi ni.
Where am I in this world of yours,
you got it all to yourself,
Aitsu no boyfriend ga yuppontoi de nai.
Aitsu no lover wa anobito desu ka,
that american boy i saw you with last night.

Oh, where am I in this world of yours,
doko kakere de yo ka?
Am I nothing but an embarassment
lost in your previous life, then?
Nan da ka, nani de yo?
Washa no kokoro, tonde tonde yo.


Here I am, a lost and lonely man.
Washa ga anata no tomodachi de yo.
While you're off with your boyfriend,
washa ga totemo lonely, totemo lost...
Who are you to treat me in this way, ka?

Where am i in this world of yours,
doko kakere de yo ka?
Am I nothing but a gruff voice
trying to control your life, then?
Nan da ka, nani de yo?
Washa no kokoro, tonde tonde yo.
