Pokketto o Karanishite

"Empty the Pocket"

sung by: Maaya Sakamoto composed and arranged by: Yoko Kanno
lyrics by: Youho Iwasato
translated by: Lekha M. Rao


Kaze ga kawareba boku no michi sae sukoshi wa
Mashi ni naru daro
"Yutakasa ga kimitachi o dame ni suru" nante
Shittakocchanai

If the wind changes,
My life may change for the better
They say, "Wealth will ruin you."
I don't care

Yume no housoku nado doko ni mo naihazu sa

Dreams must not have any rules

Pokketto o karanishite saa tabi ni deyou yo
Meate mo nani mo nai keredo
Sugu, pokketto o karanishite saa tabi ni deyou yo
Midara na kimochi burasagete

Empty the pocket, let's go on a journey
We don't have a purpose or anything, but
Let's just empty the pocket and go on a journey
Bringing along your indecent feelings

Kusamura ni nekoronde
Sakasa no hoshikuzu me o korashiteta
Nagareboshi mitsuketa yo
Demo onegai koto ga wakaranai

Lying in the thicket
I stared at the stars upside down
I found a shooting star
But I didn't know what to wish for

Hito o aisurukoto ikitekukoto shinukoto

Loving people, living, dying

*Pokketto o karanishite saa tabi ni deyou yo
Meate mo nani mo nai keredo
Sugu, pokketto o karanishite saa tabi ni deyou yo
Midara na kimochi burasagete

Empty the pocket, let's go on a journey
We don't have a purpose or anything, but
Let's just empty the pocket and go on a journey
Bringing along your indecent feelings

*Repeat

Konna kakuu no unmei...
Kowashite ashita e tabidatsu bokura
Buriki no machi o ato ni
Takaku sono hata o furikazase
Furikazase

This imaginary fate...
Destroyed, we set out on a journey to tomorrow
Leaving behind the tin-plated town
Hold that flag up high
Hold it up
