Miyuki Nakajima – Fight!
In a letter, a girl wrote
“I graduated from junior high school, but not high school, so I cannot get a job”
In edgy quivering handwriting
The eyes of boys who were slapped on the cheek get older
In their hands clasped with chagrin, their nails dig into the palms
Actually, I witnessed a child who tumbled down the stairs and
A smirk on the face of a woman who pushed the child in a train station yesterday
I was so shocked that I was not able to help that child or scream
Being frightened, I ran away
My enemy is myself
Fight!
The song of you, who are fighting, will be laughed at by those who do not fight
Fight!
Go up while shivering in the cold water
Fish go up against the flow of dark water
They look shining because their scales that have been scraped off are wavering
It would be easier for them to succumb to the flow of water and drift
No matter how much they get scrawny, fish keep going up
There’s no telling whether you will win or lose, but
That guy has become part of the sea while holding a notice on participation in the duel
Fight!
The song of you, who are fighting, will be laughed at by those who do not fight
Fight!
Go up while shivering in the cold water
They said to me, “You are heartless, and kick down the ladder in this countryside” and
“If you leave, we will make your relatives unable to live here”
I tried to burn this ticket by saying that it’s a mistake, but I couldn’t
I will send it to you, so keep it
The ticket to Tokyo with blurred text
Fight!
The song of you, who are fighting, will be laughed at by those who do not fight
Fight!
Go up while shivering in the cold water
I wish that I was a man, just because I would not have been at men’s disposal
I should have been born as a man
A school of small fish cross a national border in the sea while glittering,
Wriggling out of the chains called resignation to their fate
Fight!
The song of you, who are fighting, will be laughed at by those who do not fight
Fight!
Go up while shivering in the cold water
Fight!
The song of you, who are fighting, will be laughed at by those who do not fight
Fight!
Go up while shivering in the cold water
Fight!
