"Night of Retribution"
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't remember where I was lying.
I could smell the faint scent of blood in my mouth as I chewed sand.
I had almost no feeling in my body, but my stomach hurt like crazy.
When I was young, I chased after money, women, success, and freedom.
After I became an older man, I lived a fairly honest and quiet life.
But I guess debts always have to be paid someday.
It's quiet and dark, so it must still be the middle of the night.
I really want a cigarette. If anyone passes by, I'll ask them to buy me one.
But it might be hard to find someone who smokes these days.
“ 報いの夜 ”
どれだけ考えても今自分が
どこで倒れているのか
思い出せなかった
砂を噛んでいる口の中
微かに血の臭いがする
体の感覚はほとんど無いのに
腹部だけがめっぽう痛む
若い頃には
金と女と出世と自由
そんなものばかりを追いかけた
オッサンになってからは
わりと真面目に
静かに暮らしていたのに
ツケってやつはやっぱり
いつか払わなきゃならない
そんなものなんだろうなぁ
静かで真っ暗だから
きっとまだ夜中なのだろう
無性に煙草が吸いたい
誰か通りかかる奴がいたら
一本よんでもらおうか
あゝでも今の時代
煙草を吸う奴に当たるのは
難しいのかもしれないなぁ
