あの頃の五百円玉 | Ano koro no gohyakuendama | The Five-hundred Yen Coin From Back Then

五百円玉が
一枚あるだけで
どんなものだって買えると思い込んでた
あの頃 僕はまだ子どもだった

引き出しのその奥に
偶然に見つけた
遠い昔に婆ちゃんにもらった
何かのお駄賃だろう

崩しちゃうのがもったいなくて
蓋(ふた)が壊れたえんぴつ箱の下に隠してた
本当に欲しいものがいつの日かできた時に
これを使おうって思ってたんだ

五百円玉は
宝物だった
家族にも友達にも在(あ)りかを言ってない
それは世の中で僕だけが知っている秘密の話
掌(てのひら)に乗せた
銀色の硬貨 ああ
ぎゅっと握り締めながら 強い自分でいられたら
どんな夢も叶うって信じてた

悲しい夜は音を立てずに
月の灯りで引き出しのその奥を確かめた
これ以上辛くなったら この一枚持ち出して
知らない街へ逃げてしまおう

五百円玉は
味方だったんだ
大人になっても大事にして来たよ
どんな時だって不安げなこの僕に勇気をくれた
たかが小銭だと
誰かは言うけど ああ
僕にとっては今だって 何より価値ある大金だ
絶対 遣い切れない思い出貯金

五百円玉は
宝物だった
家族にも友達にも在(あ)りかを言ってない
それは世の中で僕だけが知っている秘密の話
掌(てのひら)に乗せた
銀色の硬貨 ああ
ぎゅっと握り締めながら 強い自分でいられたら
どんな夢も叶うって信じてた

The five hundred yen coin
Though there was only one
I really believed I could buy just about anything with it
But I was still just a child at the time

Deep inside a drawer I opened
I happened to find it again
I got it from my grandma so very long ago
Probably as a little reward

It would be such a waste to use it on trifles
So I hid it away inside my pencil case with the broken lid
Until the day I could figure out what I really wanted
I thought that I would save it until then

The five hundred yen coin
It was my favorite treasure
I never told my friends or even my family where it was
I was the only one in the whole world who knew
It was my secret
The round silver coin
That I held in my palm, ah
When I held it tight in my fist I felt I could become stronger
And believed that I could make any dream come true

On sad nights, without making a sound
I would open that drawer in the light of the moon
To make sure it was still there
I would think to myself that if things got any worse
I would take my coin and run away to another city

The five hundred yen coin
Was my closest friend
Even after I’d grown up, it still meant a lot to me
It would always give me courage no matter how anxious I was
It’s just a little spare change
Someone would tell me, but ah
To me right now its value is beyond compare
An emotional currency that will never be spent

The five hundred yen coin
It was my favorite treasure
I never told my friends or even my family where it was
I was the only one in the whole world who knew
It was my secret
The round silver coin
That I held in my palm, ah
When I held it tight in my fist I felt I could become stronger
And believed that I could make any dream come true
