Yoeko Kurahashi – The Sinking Town Lyrics (English Translation)
Intro
The pond of tears streams down
They drop, drop, drop, drop, scatter all around
They might keep going, maybe even until the next morning
They'll drop, drop, drop–descend until it reaches my room
Verse 1
Thanks to you, the food tastes horrible
It's the best kind of diet
Drowning in embarrassment at the star-shaped carrots
And as a consequence, they shall bury the boy
Chorus
The pond of tears streams down
They drop, drop, drop, drop, scatter all around
They might keep going, maybe even until the next morning
Thеy'll drop, drop, drop–descend until it reachеs my room
Verse 2
In the throes of a dream, exacting retribution
In a book of resentments, without a single slip of the pen
I received praise for how well I ironed clothes
And as a consequence, they shall execute the girl
Chorus
The pond of tears streams down
More, and more, and more, until it floods my room
You ought to sink swiftly, city
More, and more, and more, until no one can help you

Outro
The pond of tears streams down
They drop, drop, drop, drop, scatter all around
They might keep going, maybe even until the next morning
They'll drop, drop, drop–descend until it reaches my room
Until the next morning
