Omori's "Angina Pectoris"I'm glad I only have these two eyes If I could see all the sadness in the world I surely wouldn't be able to go on living It's a well-made world, so much so I'm sick of it And yet, what madness has seized people That they go out of their way, all across this vast world To so diligently attach eyes, and say this and that I've got my hands full with just my own sadness If I mustn't see, if I'm the one in the wrong Then hurry up and bring me a needle and thread Because I'll close them up, because I'll sew them shut So at the end, show me everything all at once For 1 to remain 1, today too, I'm living By stealing 99 away from 100, or so I'm told I don't recall ever asking to be taught that Enough, look, just shut up already, you idiot Ivan When seen from the world's perspective, no matter how much You tell me my current state is such and such Should I just be happy that there's always someone worse off? So I'm not even allowed to grieve my own sadness, huh If I mustn't cry, if I'm the one in the wrong Then cut my tear ducts long ago When I was born, before the umbilical cord While you're at it, tear the corners of my mouth wide open Then, in painful times, and in sad times too I can smile as if nothing's wrong If I don't do that, I really, truly Can't keep on being myself Today too, lives are vanishing here and there And yet, wherever I walk, none are lying fallen on the ground There's a limit to being too clean-freak, honestly What a wonderful world this is—and why is that, I wonder Well, I know you must be busy with all sorts of things But Lord, what are you doing standing there dazed above the clouds? Scolding a child's mischief is your duty, isn't it? Have courage, raise your fist And just do as you please If I must see, if I'm the one in the wrong Then stick it on the back of my eyelids or something When I was born, before the umbilical cord If you want to defy me that much Then in my happy times, and my pleasant times too Push me down every time I blink Because if you don't, I'll forget, you see Because I only have two eyes I'm glad I only have these two ears If I could hear all the screams of the world I surely wouldn't be able to breathe So I'll fill myself with functions for happiness Full, full, full, full Full, full, full, full If I mustn't see, if I mustn't hear Then when the next life Takes root beneath us, before the umbilical cord I'll close off every entrance To that whole world for them, I'll block it up for them Because I will protect you Because I'll let you escape, so from those eyes No tears will ever fall
