若葉が生える頃 | When New Leaves Come Out

From Mobile

若葉が生える頃

僕は旅に出た
行った事のない国の住んだ事のない町へ

海と夜を越えて、到着した空港
とても人工的な石鹸の匂いがした

初めて見る皮膚の色の人たち
淡い色から濃い色へのグラデーション

僕の言葉が通じない空港で、黙りこくって次の飛行機を待った
家族から初めて離れた僕は、とてつもない不安にかられた
怖かった

あれから随分経った
僕は言葉が違う国に根を下ろした

僕の島はまだ遠い海の向こうに浮かんでいる


When green leaves came out

I left my home
Took a trip to a country where I have never been and to a town I have never lived before

After crossing an ocean and a night, arrived at an airport
I smelt soap that is something very artificial

People with skin colours that I have never seen before
Gradation from pale colours to dark colours

I waited for my next flight at the airport where I couldn't use my own language, with keeping myself in silent
This was the first time in my life to be apart from my family for a great distance
I was very anxious and scared

Time flew since then
I landed myself on a country that uses a different language from mine

My home island is still floating across the ocean in a great distance
