いみごのたまご (The Unwanted Egg)

いたみにあえぐうつろな目のとりと
ばかなたまごがもがいて生まれる
見るにしっぱいかわいくないぼくは
したいになればよろこばれるかな
われてもれ出たすきまを大人が
たたいてはがしてはかいするんだ
それをさいごにまもるものが
ぶじに生ゴミになっちゃった
から
 
いみごのたまごはまい子になって
ぐちゃぐちゃあたまのたまごもわって
ほんとのきみはどこにもいないのに
空っぽのからだけあって
しゅうだん下校の小学生は
ひよこのしわけにとてもよくにて
まん月とあさの目玉やきさえ
見わけがつかなくなりました
 
ひびわれたらんそうからダンスをおどろう
はこづめの中たまごをつぶすよ
ずっとうしろ見てるみにくいぼくの
かえるところはきっとふんさいき
 
さめてひえたらでんじはあびせて
かわいそうにしておいしくするの
くさったままであたためたら
おさらからこぼれちっちゃった—
きみ
 
まい子のたまごはいみごになって
ぐちゃぐちゃからだははだかになって
たまごの手足はうごかせないから
そのままたべられちゃうね
しゅうだん下校の小学生は
じぶんとちがってとてもまともで
ちょうしょくをまつミキサーの中で
なにもできずにただ見ていた
 
らん らん らん…
 
(オムライス、プリン、たまごかけごはん、おんせんたまご、めだまやき、おいしいたまご)
 
じぶんのからにとじこもっちゃう
よわ虫なぼくのさいごのたまご
それだけずっとしんじたのに
中にはなんにもなかった!
いみ子のたまごはまいごになって
ぐちゃぐちゃあたまもさいごにわって
ほんとのきみはどこにもいないこと
しってていためつけて
しゅうだん下校の小学生と
ひよこのしわけはにてすらなくて
だってぼくはもう子どもじゃないけど
それでもこんなにくるしくなるなら
生まれてこなけりゃよかったな

An Unwanted Egg (Imigo no Tamago)

A bird with vacant eyes gasping in pain
And a stupid egg is born with a struggle.
I’m obviously a failure. I’m not cute at all.
Will everybody be happy if I become a corpse?
 
I leaked out from the cracked gap.
The grown-ups hit, peel, and destroy it.
The thing that protects me in the end
Became kitchen garbage all in one piece
kara So…
 
The unwanted egg lost their way,
And even the egg of their jumbled head was cracked.
Though your real self is nowhere to be found,
Only your empty shell is here.
Elementary school children leaving school together
Are very similar to chick-sorting.
I no longer can even distinguish
The full moon from a morning fried egg.
 
Let’s dance from the cracked ovary!
While we’re being packed in a case, we crush the eggs.
I’m an ugly kid who’s always taking a look back.
I think I will end up in a crusher.
 
When I lose heat and get cold, they expose me to electromagnetic radiation
So I will be pathetic and delicious again.
When I’m heated even though I’m rotten,
It overflowed the plate — My yolk.
 
The lost egg becomes unwanted,
And their jumbled body gets naked.
Because I can’t move my limbs of egg,
They will eat me just like this, right?
Elementary school children leaving school together
Are very decent unlike me.
In the blender that’s waiting for breakfast,
I was just watching with a finger in my mouth.
 
ran ran ran… Lan lan lan…
 
(Omurice, custard puddings, tamago kake gohan, onsen tamago, fried eggs, tasty eggs…)
 
I crawl into my shell.
I, such a coward, am left with just one egg.
Even though I’ve been just believing it,
There is nothing inside!
kara So…
 
The unwanted egg lost their way,
And even their jumbled head was cracked in the end.
They knew your real self is nowhere to be found,
But they still tortured me.
Elementary school children leaving school together
Are not even similar to chick-sorting.
After all, I’m not a child anymore,
But if I had known I would still suffer this much,
Then I wish I hadn’t been born in the first place…
