レシートの星座

今日の特売、アプリの星Today's bargains, stars on the app

割引シールで地図を描くI draw a map with discount stickers

お一人様一点までの文字'One per customer' in small print

カゴの中身でため息が鳴るThe basket's weight lets out a sigh

電子レンジの青い音The blue hum of the microwave

サブスクだけはまだ消せないThe subscription is the one thing I still can't cut

ポイントの雨　小銭の海A rain of points, a sea of small change

笑ってるフリ　心は空き缶I fake a smile, my heart an empty can

縮んだパンのサイズみたいにLike a loaf of bread that's shrunk in size

夢の大きさ　少しだけ折りたたむI fold the size of my dreams just a little smaller

でも胸の奥　小さな火がBut deep in my chest, a tiny flame

「それでも行ける」と瞬くFlickers, 'We can still make it through'

明日を買うために　今日を削る夜To buy tomorrow, I shave away today

レシートの星座を　つなぎ直してI trace the receipt's constellation back together

値札の向こう側　見えないけれどBeyond the price tag, I cannot see

手のぬくもりで　暮らしを照らすYet the warmth of a hand lights up our lives

I’ll be alright　 we’ll be alrightI'll be alright, we'll be alright

We’ll be alright　we’ll be alrightWe'll be alright, we'll be alright

この小さな光でBy this small light

電気料金のグラフの山The mountain peaks on the power bill's graph

ニュースは今日もため息の色The news again wears the color of a sigh

値上げの文字が吊り革みたいにThe words 'price hike' sway like a train strap

揺れるたび　握りしめる指And each time, my fingers grip it tight

セルフレジの無言の音声The self-checkout's flat, voice-prompt tone

「袋はご利用ですか？」に頷く'Do you need a bag?'—I nod my head

買わなかったものの重さだけがOnly the weight of what I didn't buy

帰り道で肩にのしかかるBears down on my shoulders on the way home

それでもテーブルに並ぶ湯気Even so, the steam rising on the table

誰かの「おいしい」で報われるFinds its reward in someone's 'this is delicious'

ひと口分のやさしさでWith a single mouthful of tenderness

心の針が少し戻るThe needle of my heart turns back a little

明日を買うために　今日を削る夜To buy tomorrow, I shave away today

レシートの星座を　つなぎ直してI trace the receipt's constellation back together

値札の向こう側　見えないけれどBeyond the price tag, I cannot see

手のぬくもりで　暮らしを照らすYet the warmth of a hand lights up our lives

I’ll be alright, we’ll be alrightI'll be alright, we'll be alright

We’ll be alright　we’ll be alrightWe'll be alright, we'll be alright

この小さな光でBy this small light

割り切れない数字の端The remainder of a number that won't divide clean

切り捨てられない気持ちの端The scrap of a feeling I can't throw away

「大丈夫？」って言えたらもうIf I can just say 'Are you okay?'

半分は大丈夫だThen half of it is already alright

Buy less, feel more, breathe slowBuy less, feel more, breathe slow

明日を買うために　今日を削らずにTo buy tomorrow, without shaving away today

分け合える何かを　足していこうよLet's add up something we can share instead

値札の向こう側　見えない夜もEven on nights when we can't see past the price tag

寄り添う影が　家路を照らすA shadow drawing close lights up the road home

I’ll be alright　 we’ll be alrightI'll be alright, we'll be alright

We’ll be alright　we’ll be alrightWe'll be alright, we'll be alright

この小さな光でBy this small light

レシート丸めた星の球A little star of crumpled receipts

ポケットの中　まだ温いStill warm here in my pocket
