蝉の声を聞く度に 目に浮かぶ九十九里浜
皺々の祖母の手を離れ 独りで訪れた歓楽街
ママは此処の女王様 生き写しの様なあたし
誰しもが手を伸べて 子供ながらに魅せられた歓楽街
十五になったあたしを 置いて女王は消えた
毎週金曜日に来ていた男と暮らすのだろう
「一度栄えし者でも必ずや衰えゆく」
その意味を知る時を迎え足を踏み入れたは歓楽街
消えて行った女を憎めど夏は今
女王と云う肩書きを誇らしげに掲げる
女に成ったあたしが売るのは自分だけで
同情を欲したときに全てを失うだろう
JR新宿駅の東口を出たら
其処はあたしの庭 大遊戯場歌舞伎町
今夜からは此の町で娘のあたしが女王

The Queen of Kabukichou Whenever I hear cicadas singing, I am reminded of Kujuukuri-hama I let go of my grandmother’s wrinkled hand and wandered alone into the redlight district My mom was the queen of this place, and I looked just like her I was only a child, but strangers would take me by the hand to show me around the redlight district When I was fifteen, she left without a trace She’s probably living with that man who came by every Friday “All things that rise must surely fall” I learned the meaning of these words when I first set foot in the redlight district Although I detested her for disappearing, it’s summer now And I am proud to wear the title of Queen I only became a woman by selling myself But the day I ask for pity will be the day I lose everything If you take the east exit from JR Shinjuku station, You will see my garden, the great playground Kabukichou Starting tonight, I am the queen of this city

上の方が気紛れに出来た天才なのかな。

[@FauxieDaoJia]

間違いなく無自覚な天才だ。天賦の才能と、影響を吸収するスポンジのような存在。
