Part-time Job Lyrics English Translation by GIRIBOY
I had a lot I wanted to give
I had a lot I wanted to share
A place I wanted to take you
And even the flowers on the street
If they say they only accept cash
I’d withdraw a lot from the ATM
If they ask if I need a receipt
I’d just say, “It’s okay,” like that, nonchalantly
But I was just an ordinary person
Among them, maybe a slightly unique one
Pretending to be an artist, acting different
Striking weird poses in photos
Expecting your gift on my birthday
Begging to go out for an expensive meal on your payday
To me, who was naive, like a monster
Your birthday and my sighs
Hoping it passes like any other day
Hoping it goes by like an unremarkable routine
Before the calendar, I stand helpless
There’s nothing I can do right away
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to do
A bag I wanted to gift you
I was determined, but I lacked some money
I rushed to find a short-term job
Imagining your happiness
Kneeling on the bathroom floor like a loner
Here I am, wiping someone else’s mess
Delusional amidst the intoxicated crowd
And then, the boss hits my back
Washing dishes, that’s what I’m doing
A human trash, clearing the garbage
Just an inflated ego with no real purpose
A vague personality, something’s slightly missing
You’ve given me so much
So, this much effort is too little
Biting down hard again today
But why are you still here?
Hoping it passes like any other day
Hoping it goes by like an unremarkable routine
Before the calendar, I stand helpless
There’s nothing I can do right away
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to do
Your voice mixed with men’s laughter
My existence gradually fades away
There’s nothing to say to your happiness
I truly have nothing more to say
No need to apologize
I was going to say it first
You were the one who suggested we part ways
Thank you
