The trembling dog
Trotted forward under the moon
With frightened eyes
Under the moon, it approached with stealthy steps

When I opened my eyes
I saw only the shadow of the telephone pole

Don’t be afraid
Because I forgot about running away
Don’t pretend to be strong
Let’s forget about how we could break [1]

I held out my hand
Because I wanted it to be licked

When I went toward that one brilliant place [2]
The dog and the moon were holding hands
Some things I lost     while others I grasped [3]
At that boundary where the dog met the moon

Those hopeless, lonely fools
The dog and the moon
When they looked up at the darkened sky
They remembered how it felt to be shined upon [4]

I looked at you with doubt [5]
Because I did not trust myself

Though I hate lies
I loved you, who was an awful liar
Now that I’ve finally realized it
Let’s stop doubting each other

I was listening closely
Because I wanted you to call for me

If I held you closer, more tightly
I’m sure you would turn your back on me
I’ll just say nothing
So that you won’t go away [6]

If your heart becomes cold
I will just shed tears quietly
Some things I lose     while others I gain [2]
At that boundary where the dog met the moon

震えた犬が
月の下をとぽとぽ歩いて来た
怯えた瞳で
月の下　忍び足　歩いて来た

目を覚ましたのは
電柱の影だけ

怖がらないで
私は逃げることを忘れたから
強がらないで
お互い壊れ方を忘れましょう

手を伸ばしたのは
なめてほしいから

一点の眩い場所を目指すとき
犬と月が手をつないだ
行ってしまうもの　手の届くもの
境界で犬と月出会った

淋しがりやの
バカでどうしようもない犬と月は
見上げることと
照らすことを覚えた　沈んだ日は

首かしげたのは
自信がないから

ウソが嫌いで
ひどくウソつきな君愛したから
今やっと気付いた
お互い疑うことをやめにしよう

耳澄ましたのは
呼んでほしいから

もっと強く深く抱いたなら
きっと背を向けるのだろう
君がどこかへ行ってしまわぬように
僕はただ黙っていよう

もしも心の奥が寒ければ
涙そっと流すだけさ
行ってしまうもの　手の届くもの
境界で犬と月出会った
