さいたまはどっちですか (Which way is Saitama?)

なにか気に食わないことでもあったのか
父親と来ていた遊園地を飛び出して
小学二年生の君は住宅街の中へと消えた

取り残された父親は
しばらく待てば戻ってくるかと思ったが
三十分たっても君は現れなかった

その頃、君は
通りかかったカップルに道を聞いていた
「さいたまはどっちですか？」
後楽園から埼玉は歩くには少しある
財布もなくSUICAも持たない小学二年生の男の子を不審に思った若い男女は
彼を交番に連れていく
警官が君の父親の携帯電話に連絡し、この事件は終わりを迎える

だが、本当はまだ続きがあったんじゃないのか
君の心中を思う
またかけ出したくなっていたんじゃないのか

[English version]

Which way is Saitama?

You didn’t like something, probably
Running away from the amusement park where you came with your father
you, a second grader, were gone into the residential area

The father left behind
simply thought you’d come back in a while and waited
However you never showed up how long he waited

Meanwhile, you were
asking a couple passing by
“Which way is Saitama?”
Saitama is a bit too far to walk from Korakuen

Having no wallet nor Suica card,
the second grader boy was doubted by the young lovers if he has lost his way
They finally took you to the police box
The police officer called to your father’s mobile phone and put an end to this story

However, it wasn’t finished yet, probably
I imagine your thought
Weren’t you wanting to run away again, probably?
