ダム職人 (Dam Shokunin)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
はじめはちっちゃいコップだった　涙を溜めるのは 	hajime wa chicchai koppu datta namida o tameru no wa 	In the beginning I had just a tiny cup to hold my tears
すぐに溢れて零してしまうけど　ママが拭いてくれた 	sugu ni afurete koboshite shimau kedo mama ga fuite kureta 	It'd quickly overflow and spill down, but Mom would wipe it up
次はボウルに溜めたけど　やっぱりすぐ溢れた 	tsugi wa bouru ni tameta kedo yappari sugu afureta 	Next I tried to hold it in a bowl, but it spilled over as expected
今度は自分で拭けたよ　ひとりで後始末 	kondo wa jibun de fuketa yo hitori de atoshimatsu 	This time, without any help, I wiped it up by myself
 	 	
ボウルは鍋に　鍋はバケツに　どんどん器は大きくなって 	bouru wa nabe ni nabe wa baketsu ni dondon utsuwa wa ookiku natte 	From bowl to pan, from pan to bucket, the container gradually grew and grew
零しにくく溢れにくくなった　だけど溢れたら大事になったから 	koboshi nikuku afure nikuku natta dakedo afuretara oogoto ni natta kara	It became harder to spill, harder to overflow, but when it did,
後始末が大変だった　だから溢れる前に器を変えるよ 	atoshimatsu ga taihen datta dakara afureru mae ni utsuwa o kaeru yo 	It was a disaster that took forever to clean. So, before it spills over, I'll change the container
 	 	
バケツはタライに　バスタブに　プールに　池に　湖に 	baketsu wa tarai ni basutabu ni puuru ni ike ni mizuumi ni 	From a bucket to a tub, to a bathtub, to a pool, to a pond, to a lake
それでも足りない足りないよ　ついに私はダムを建てた 	soredemo tarinai tarinai yo tsui ni watashi wa damu o tateta 	But it's not enough, it's not enough. I finally ended up building a dam
私は意地っ張りのダム職人 	watashi wa ijippari no damu shokunin 	I'm a stubborn dam builder
 	 	
漏れないように壁を厚く　溢れないように壁を高く 	morenai you ni kabe o atsuku afurenai you ni kabe o takaku 	So that it won't leak, the wall builds thicker. So that it won't flood, the wall builds taller
ダム職人は大忙し　連日働きます 	damu shokunin wa ooisogashi renjitsu hatarakimasu 	The busy dam builder works day after day
周りは心配してたよ　「たまに零してみたら？」 	mawari wa shinpai shiteta yo "tama ni koboshite mitara?" 	Those around her worried, "Why not let it spill every now and then?"
いいえ　零したら大変です　私は休めません 	iie koboshitara taihen desu watashi wa yasumemasen 	No, that'd be a disaster, I won't stop working
 	 	
そんな日々の繰り返し　さすがに疲れたダム職人は 	sonna hibi no kurikaeshi sasuga ni tsukareta damu shokunin wa 	As those days repeated, the dam builder inevitably grew tired
少し出そう　少しだけ　と　小さな蛇口を作った 	sukoshi dasou sukoshi dake to chiisana jaguchi o tsukutta 	I'll let out a little, just a little, and I built a faucet
蛇口をひねったけど一滴も出てこないんだ 	jaguchi o hinetta kedo hitoshizuku mo dete konai nda 	I twisted the knob, but not a single drop came out
おかしいな　壁を登って向こう側を見るよ 	okashii na kabe o nobotte mukougawa o miru yo 	How strange, I climb up the wall and peer over at the other side
 	 	
壁の裏側は干上がって　何もないよ何もない 	kabe no uragawa wa hiagatte nanimonai yo nanimonai 	This side is all dried up, nothing is here, nothing
やっと気が付いた　泣きたくてももう泣けなくなってたんだ 	yatto ki ga tsuita nakitakute mo mou nake naku natteta nda 	I finally noticed. Even when I want to cry, I've become so I no longer can
私は溜めすぎたダム職人 	watashi wa tame sugita damu shokunin 	I held in too much, this dam builder
 	 	
カラカラの目が痛いけど　楽でいいやって喜んだ 	karakara no me ga itai kedo raku de ii yatte yorokonda 	My dried up eyes hurt, but it's easier this way, I rejoiced
何だかおかしいな　悲しいな　おかしいな　悲しいよ 	nandaka okashii na kanashii na okashii na kanashii yo 	Something feels odd. It's sad, how strange, I feel sad
泣きたいよ　すこしだけ　潤んだよ 	nakitai yo sukoshi dake urunda yo 	I want to cry. Just for a bit, my eyes clouded up
やっとひとしずく零れたよ　何にも溜めず落としたよ 	yatto hitoshizuku koboreta yo nani ni mo tamezu otoshita yo 	At last, a single drop fell out. It dropped without anything catching it
それを見ていたらこみ上げて　もう止まらない水浸し 	sore o miteitara komiagete mou tomaranai mizubitashi 	When I saw that, it all welled up. It can't be stopped now, this ongoing flood
 	 	
それをみんなは拭いてくよ　優しさなんかなくても 	sore o minna wa fuiteku yo yasashisa nanka nakute mo 	Then everyone wipes it up, even the unkind ones
誰か濡らしたら拭くんだね　きっと私も拭くだろうな 	dareka nurashitara fukunda ne kitto watashi mo fuku darou na 	If someone gets soaked, it's a given to dry them. Surely even I will dry them one day,
気付いたダム職人 	kizuita damu shokunin 	the dam builder realized
意地っ張りのダム職人は　ただの不器用さん 	ijippari no damu shokunin wa tada no bukiyou-san 	The stubborn dam builder, just an ordinary fool,
バケツ一つだけ残して　やっと廃業した 	baketsu hitotsu dake nokoshite yatto haigyou shita 	kept a single bucket and retired it at last
