tochuu gesha
(stopover)

asa mo ya tabitachi no ho-mu ni naisho de kaketsuketa
minareta egao ga matteita
jiriri wakare no beru ga nari ohtsubu no namida ga
manatsu no kaze ni kieta

soto wa hare yume wa doko? meguriau no wa dare
shimari kaketeita doa no mukougawa ni mita

namae mo wasureru hodo tookunatte shimau nara
nekutai o hazushi tochuu gesha s___a mama
kono machi no omoide ga nanigenai ichinichi ga
mamoru beki nani ga sotto tsutsunde yuku

tsuki dasu kirei na biru no kage kutabireta waishatsu
kousaten no naka tatteiru
toki no nagare ni oikosare ochikonda gogo ni wa
ano natsu ni saiteita true song

hito wa naze nai mono o sagashi tsuzuketeru no?
nayamu koto sae wasure kaketeiru my life

ano hi norikonda resha wa iki saki mo nai mama ni
bukiyou na kokyu de mada hashitte yuku
shinjiru koto ni tsukarete hitori nemuritai yoru
tochuu gesha s___a mama yukkuri toki ga tomaru

subete no machi ni hi ga noboru kibou no ne o buchi narase

ima shinjiru yuuki ga tamashi no kagayaki ga
mamoru beki nani ga sotto tsutsunde yuku
namae mo wasureru hodo tookunatte shimau nara
nekutai o hazushi tochuu gesha s___a mama

ano hi norikonda resha wa iki saki mo nai mama ni
bukiyou na kokyu de mada hashitte yuku
hashitte yuku

translation

In the morning dews, quietly creeping up
The veranda that's a bout to take off
A familiar smile waits for me there
Ting ling ling~ the sound of departure rang
Big tears, disappeared in the hot summer's winds

It's a sunny day outside
Where's my dream? Who will I meet?
Just right when the door is about to close shut
I saw it!

It's like I even forgot the name
If you say everything's gonna leave anyway
Or let me just loosen my necktie
And get down the train like this
Let the memories of this city
Let this simple day
Let everything that is worth protecting
Gently gather around me

The shadow of a clean building pops into sight
A worn out white shirt
Standing in the middle of the crossroads,
Having been caught up and surpassed by the flow of time,
Is the True Song that bloomed in the calm afternoon
Of that summer.

Why do people keep looking for what they do not have?
My Life, where I forget even my troubles

The train I boarded that day without any destination in mind
Still rushes on with its awkward breaths
Tired of believing, nights I want to sleep alone
As I alight from the car mid-journey, time slowly comes to a stop

The morning sun rises up in every city
Ringing every bell of hope

At this moment, let the courage of believing
Let the ray of our souls
Let everything that is worth protecting
Gently gather around me
It's like i even forgot the name
If you say everything's gonna leave anyway
Or let me just loosen my necktie
And get down the train like this

That day getting up on the train
Without any sense of direction
Breathing heavily
Yet continuing to run forward
Continue to run forward
