その日は随分と平凡で
Sono hi wa zuibun to heibon de
当たり障りない一日だった
Atarisawari nai ichinichi datta
暇つぶしに聞いてたラジオから
Hima-tsubushi ni kiiteta rajio kara
あの話が流れだすまでは

空覆い尽くしてく渋滞中
Sora ooitsukushiteku juutaichuu
三日月を飲み込んで

やりかけてたゲームはノーセーブ
Yarikaketeta geemu wa noo seebu
机にほぼ手付かず参考書
Tsukue ni hobo te tsukazu sankousho
震える身体をいなすように
Furueru karada o inasu you ni
すぐにヘッドフォンをした
Sugu ni heddofon o shita
不明なアーティスト項目の
Fumei na aatisuto koumoku no
タイトル不明のナンバーが
Taitoru fumei no nanbaa ga
途端に耳元流れだした
Totan ni mimimoto nagaredashita
「生き残りたいでしょう？」
"Ikinokoritai deshou?"
蠢きだす世界会場を
Ugomekidasu sekai kaijou o
波打つように揺れる摩天楼
Namiutsu you ni yureru matenrou
紛れもないこの声はどう聞いても
Magure mo nai kono koe wa dou kiite mo
聞き飽きた自分の声だ
Kikiakita jibun no koe da
「あの丘を越えたら20秒で
"Ano oka o koetara nijuu-byou de
その意味を嫌でも知ることになるよ
Sono imi o iya demo shiru koto ni naru yo
疑わないで耳を澄ませたら 20秒先へ」
Utagawanaide mimi o sumasetara nijuu-byou saki e"
交差点は当然大渋滞
Kousaten wa touzen daijuutai
もう老若男女は関係ない
Mou roujakudanjo wa kankei nai
怒号やら赤ん坊の泣き声で埋まってく
Dogou yara akanbou no nakigoe de umatteku
暴れだす人 泣き出す少女
Abaredasu hito nakidasu shoujo
祈りだした神父を追い抜いて
Inoridashita shinpu o oinuite
ただ1人目指すのは逆方向
Tada hitori mezasu no wa gyaku houkou
あの丘の向こうへと
Ano oka no mukou e to
ヘッドフォンから依然声がして
Heddofon kara izen koe ga shite
「あと12分だよ」と告げる
"Ato juuni-bun da yo" to tsugeru
このまま全て消え去ってしまうなら
Kono mama subete kiesatte shimau nara
もう術は無いだろう
Mou sube wa nai darou
ざわめき出す悲鳴合唱を
Zawameki dasu himei gasshou o
涙目になってかすめる10秒
Namida me ni natte kasumeru juu-byou
疑いたいけど誰がどうやっても
Utagaitai kedo dareka ga dou yatte mo
終わらない 人類賛歌
Owaranai jinrui sanka
「駆け抜けろ、もう残り1分だ」
"Kakenukero, mou nokori ichi-bun da"
その言葉ももう聞こえない位に
Sono kotoba mo mou kikoenai kurai ni
ただ目指していた丘の向こうは
Tada mezashiteita oka no mukou wa
すぐ目の前に
Sugu me no mae ni
息も絶え絶えたどり着いたんだ
Iki mo taedae tadoritsuitanda
空を映し出す壁の前に

Sono mukou hakui no kagakusha-tachi wa
「素晴らしい」と手を打った
"Subarashii" to te o utta
疑うよ
Utagau yo
そこから見る街の風景は
Soko kara miru machi no fuukei wa
まるで実験施設のようでさ
Maru de jikken shisetsu no you de sa
「もう不必要だ」
"Mou fuhitsuyou da"
科学者は片手間に爆弾を投げた
Kagakusha wa katatema ni bakudan o nageta
箱の中の小さな世界で
Hako no naka no chiisa na sekai de
今までずっと生きてきたんだなと
Ima made zutto ikite kitanda na to
燃え尽きていく街だったモノを
Moetsukiteiku machi datta mono o
ただ、呆然と見る耳元で
Tada, bouzen to miru mimimoto de
ヘッドフォンの向こうから
Heddofon no mukou kara
「ごめんね」と声がした
"Gomen ne" to koe ga shita
ENGLISH
It was an extremely average day,
Without a single obstacle in my path
Until I was bored, listening to the radio,
And I heard this said:
"It's very unfortunate I have to say this,
But the world is going to end today"
So said some country's president,
In tears as he spoke...
Out the window was a huge flock of birds,
Congesting to cover up the sky
Swallowing up the crescent moon,
Headed some unknown direction...
I had a half-finished game with no save;
A scarcely-touched textbook lay on my desk
And to stop my body from trembling,
I promptly put on my headphones
Just as I was listening to an obscure artist,
A number they did with an unknown title,
Just as it came to my ears, I heard:
"You want to survive, yes?"
Waving over the wriggling world,
The skyscrapers seemed to tremble
This voice seemed unmistakable:
It was my own, which I tired of hearing
"If you cross that hill, then in 20 seconds,
You'll know what I mean, for better or worse
Don't doubt, just listen close - go 20 seconds ahead..."
The intersection was crowded, of course;
Man, woman, child, it didn't matter
I was buried under people yelling and babies' cries
Rioting people, a sobbing girl,
A priest praying, I passed them all by
One single person headed the other way,
Toward what was beyond that hill...
The voice from the headphones persisted:
"Twelve minutes left," it told me
If everything was going to up and vanish,
Then I had no other way...
The chorus of shrieks and screams
Turned to tearful eyes in ten seconds
I had my doubts, but no matter who did what,
There was no ending humanity's song
"Run, run, there's one minute left,"
But I couldn't even hear it by then;
The hill which I sought to cross
Was right before me...
My breath faint, I finally arrived
Before a wall which projected the sky
Behind it, scientists in white applauded;
"Magnificent," they said -
Doubt...
From there, I saw the town
Was some kind of experimental facility;
"No longer necessary,"
A scientist said, and calmly tossed a bomb
I was told I had been living
My whole life in a little world in a box
So I could only stare, dumbfounded
At the burnt wreckage that had been the town
And from the headphones at my ear,
I heard a faint "sorry"...
