Gakkou sotsugyou suru made zutto

Nani wo shitai no ka to kikarete

Shakai ni dete kara nani wo shiteru no ka

Mada minna ni kikarete iru

Hito wa boku no nani wo shiritai no darou

Koko ga dame nanda to shikaritai no ka

Jibun ga boku yori sugurete irutte koto

Mitome sasetai nara mitomete yaru sa

Tonbo doko e to tonde yukitai no?

Sora wo gururi mawatteru dake kana

Yukisaki to ka mukuteki to ka

Doudatte ii yo ne

Yaritai koto wo nani ka mitsukenai to

Ningen shiitaku desu ka?

Yume to ka kibou wo mottenai boku wa

Ikiru tachi mo nai no darou

Jibun ni totte otona wa tenpeki da

Wakari aeru nante zettai ni nai

Dekiru koto naraba otona ga inai sekai de

Sanagi no mama boku wa kurashitai yo

Tonbo kaze ni fukarete fura fura to

Itsu shin demo kui nai you ni

Tayori nai hane wo hirogete

Chikara muiteru no ka?

Eda no sakippo tada tomatteru

Yuuyake iro no tonbo wa

Yasu mitai no ka tobu tsumori nanoka docchi darou?

Tonbo doko e to tonde yukitai no?

Sora wo gururi mawatteru dake kana

Yukisaki to ka mukuteki to ka

Imi wa nai yo

Ima boku wa ippiki no tonbo yori motto

Chippo ke na sonzai nanda

Chi e ka de sora wo miageru dake

Dare ni mo miraretenai

Hontou ni karui inochi

学校　卒業するまでずっと

何をしたいのかと　聞かれて

社会に出てから　何をしてるのか

まだ　みんなに聞かれている

人は僕の何を知りたいのだろう

ここがダメなんだと叱りたいのか

自分が僕より　優れているってこと

認めさせたいなら認めてやるさ

とんぼ　どこへと飛んで行きたいの？

空をぐるり回ってるだけかな

行き先とか目的とか

どうだっていいよね

やりたいことを何か見つけないと

人間失格ですか？

夢とか希望を持ってない僕は

生きる価値もないのだろう

自分にとって　大人は天敵だ

分かり合えるなんて絶対にない

できることならば　大人がいない世界で

蛹(さなぎ)のまま　僕は暮らしたいよ

とんぼ　風に吹かれてふらふらと

いつ死んでも悔いないように

頼りない羽根を広げて

力　抜いてるのか？

枝の先っぽ　ただ留(と)まってる

夕焼け色のとんぼは

休みたいのか　飛ぶつもりなのか　どっちだろう？

とんぼ　どこへと飛んで行きたいの？

空をぐるり回ってるだけかな

行き先とか目的とか

意味はないよ

今　僕は一匹のとんぼより　もっと

ちっぽけな存在なんだ

地ベタで空を見上げるだけ

誰にも見られてない

本当に軽い命

Until I graduated from school

I was always asked what it was I wanted to do

After entering the real world, what am I doing?

I'm still being asked by everyone

What is it about me people want to know?

Do they want to tell me I'm screwing up here and call me out for it?

Or say something like they're better than me

If what they want is to make me admit that, I'll just go ahead and admit it

O dragonfly, where is it you want to fly to?

Maybe you're just aimlessly winging around in circles?

Things like destinations or purposes

Are trivial, right?

If I don't find anything I want to do

Am I no longer human?

With no dreams or hopes

I guess there's no value to living either

As for me, adults are my natural enemies

There is no way we can understand each other

If it were possible, a world without adults

Is where I'd want to spend my days as a chrysalis

O dragonfly, windblown and wobbling,

So that you can die free of regrets

Spread those unreliable wings

Or, you were just screwing around?

On a branch tip, just standing still

A sunset-hued dragonfly

Does it want to rest? Is it planning to fly again? I wonder which

O dragonfly, where is it you want to fly to?

Maybe you're just aimlessly winging around in circles?

Things like destinations or purposes

Have no meaning

Now my existence is even

Tinier than a single dragonfly

Only looking up at the sky from the ground

Nobody's able to see me

Truly an insignificant life
