Bump of Chicken: Jyoushaken
05.09.04
Artist: Bump of Chicken Title: Jyoushaken (Right to Ride) Words: Fujiwara Motoh Music: Fujiwara Motoh the famished bus is coming, spitting out exhaust It'll take you further into the dream, how about it? if you have a paper with your depeest desire written on it they say you can use that, as is, as your ticket to ride, so they say. the crowds scramble for the bus, forming a line glaring eyes, all my friends, what to do? my deepest desire, eh? can it be just anything? for now, in place of a ticket. move, get out of the way you're gonna make me late, what's the maximum capacity? no way, if I miss this... when will the next one be? ah hold up a sec, let me on first it's not like you've got any great wish anyway. the overstuffed bus departs, howling with a dull sound ah a fool let me cut ahead, done in by my tearful persuasion. carried for several hours, seems there's a transfer I hear the next bus leaves when night falls. huh? it's not here, not here either! why don't I have my ticket? this wasn't in my plan, unable to find it, the sun sets on me. ah, hold up a sec please, let me on that bus hey, don't be laying your bag in an empty seat! no, it's not this, it's not this either, no I don't have my human identification, this wasn't in my plan I don't exist. damn, I'll have to sneak on. ah hold up a sec please, I think I wanna get off here I never wanted this life, I wanted... ah, please overlook me, I got on without knowing they'll never stop to drop only me off. what I desired was to have something I deeply desired. because I have no desire in seeing how this dream turns out. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: The song is about a bus ticket, but the title is a little bit of word play, substituting a different kanji for ticket.
