_________________________________

虫のバラード 作詞：秋元康 作曲：多胡邦夫 編曲：野中 "まさ" 雄一 俺は一人で 激しい雨の中 ずぶ濡れ 打たれてたかった 汚れた身体（からだ）と 醜い心を 洗い流そうとしてたんだ こんな時代に 何を信じて 生きていったらいいのだろう 問いかけても 答えは出ない ＊傷つくことを 恐れてはいない どんなにきつい 道のりも ちっぽけな　ちっぽけな俺は 前のめりに たった一匹の虫になる 風に倒され ぬかるんだ泥の中 がむしゃらに 這いつくばってた きれいなものとは 汗とか涙が 洗い流してくれたもの 何が真実 何が偽り 頭の中で考えても 近道しちゃ 答えは出ない 死んでくことを 嘆いたりしない どんなに長い 永遠も 不器用な　不器用な俺は 振り返らず ただの　ひたむきな虫になる 命の限り 無様（ぶざま）でもいいさ 地べたで叫ぶ 魂よ 生きること　生きること　俺は しがみつく ＊ 1コーラス目のサビ

A Bug's Ballad
Translated by




I'm all alone
in the heavy rain
I wanted to get
soaking wet
I was trying to wash
my dirty body and
ugly heart

What should I
believe
in this day and age?
Even if I ask,
no answer comes

I'm not afraid
of being hurt
no matter how hard
my path is
In my eyes, this small me,
this small me,
becomes a single bug

I'm pushed over by the wind,
and I get covered with mud
I recklessly
groveled
My beautiful
sweat and tears
wash everything away

What is the truth?
What are lies?
Even if I think about it,
I won't get the answer
if I take a shortcut

I won't lament
over death
no matter how long
eternity is
This clumsy, clumsy me,
without turning back,
will become a solitary, single-minded bug

As long as I live,
I don't care if I'm unsightly
My soul screams
on the ground
To living, to living,
I cling

I'm not afraid
of being hurt
no matter how hard
my path is
In my eyes, this small me,
this small me,
becomes a single bug

Well, now you see why our Sayaka suffers so when she sings "Mushi no Ballad", if you're in treatment for depression, stay away. Sniff.

We love you, Sayaka.
