★This song was sung in Japanese.★

It's 5 a.m. and I'm still lightly asleep. My tired body should be sleepy, but somehow I'm wide awake. This is tough when you get older.

Ah, I somehow feel like having a cigarette and a cup of coffee.

I wake up, exhausted and sleepy, and look for cigarettes.

Oh, right, I smoked my last cigarette last night.

I know I still have some alcohol left from yesterday, so I can't drive to get some.

I distract myself with the slightly cooled instant coffee I just made.

I'm sure real coffee would be better, but this will do for now.

Waking up, I walk down the pre-dawn alley just to buy some cigarettes.

As I check my way to the convenience store in the dark, Walking slowly

Before I knew it, my haircut made me look like an old man from every angle.

I was thinking, "I look so much like my late father, it's shocking."

My father smoked Short Hope cigarettes until the very end.

I remember him taking me to the hospital smoking area in a wheelchair at the end.

Blood is thicker than water. I couldn't resist.

But my father looked so happy, smoking with a delicious look on his face right up until the end.

You don't need to change yourself just because someone else tells you to. I'm me, and you're you. Just live your life the way you want.

Sleepy people at the convenience store Some guy somewhere messed up his cigarette but is trying again

He looks at me with annoyance and silently passes on a 5mm Winston to the register.

I could have bought coffee at the convenience store,

but I still have some of the instant coffee I'd worked so hard to make.

I head back to my usual spot.

I'd gone to the trouble of buying cigarettes,

but I'll hold off until I've finished my coffee.

But that's just how my day started, somehow.

I wonder what kind of day it will be. I hope it's a slightly better day.

Thinking like that, I finally smoke my cigarette.

I smoke my cigarette while thinking about your happiness.

★日本語　詞★

眠りが浅い朝5時　疲れた体は眠いはずなのに

なんか眼が冴えてしまった　年取るとこれ辛いよな

あぁ俺は何となく　タバコとコーヒーを飲みたくなったから

眠さの共存する疲れた身をおこして、タバコを探してみる

そうだった昨日の晩　最後の1本吸ったんだったっけな

昨日飲んだ酒まだ残っているのが分かるんで車じゃ買いに行けないしな

さっき入れた少し冷めた　インスタントコーヒーで紛らわす

本物のコーヒーが旨いに決まってるけど　今はこれでいい

すっかり目が覚めた夜明け前の路地を タバコ買いに行くだけ

まだ暗いコンビニまでの道を確かめながら ゆっくり歩く

いつの間にか、散髪した俺の風貌はどこから見てもおじさんで

ドキっとするくらい死んだ親父に似てきたって、なんかそんなこと思ってた

親父はショートホープを死ぬまで吸っていたっけな

最期は車いすに乗ってまで病院の喫煙所に連れて行ったっけ

血は争えないな　我慢ひとつ出来はしないや

だけど最期まで旨そうな顔して吸っていた親父は嬉しそうだったな

他人に言われてまで　自分を変える必要はない

俺は俺　お前はお前　好きに生きていけばいい

コンビニでは眠たそうな人生失敗したけどやり直してるどこかのおじさんが

面倒くさそうに俺を見て、Winstonの5ミリを黙ってレジ通してくれる

コンビニでコーヒーでも買っても良かったけど、

折角入れたインスタントコーヒーはまだ残っているから

俺もいつもの場所に帰る

折角買ったタバコだったけど

コーヒー飲むまでガマンしよう

ただそんだけ　何となく　今日は始まったけど

今日はどんな日なのかな　少しだけ良い日だといいな

そう思いながら　やっと、タバコをふかす

君の幸せ思いながら　タバコをふかす
