246

Another pretty common theme for Clammbon is driving, especially night-driving, or other ways of traveling around the city at night. The title of this song refers to National Route 246 which passes through Tokyo and which appears both in the music video for this song and in the film Tayu Tau — specifically the section called Tamagawa-dôri.

English

246

Whenever I turn the wheel,
I’m waiting for the next scene before me

What echoes is the tail lamp’s
Red tears, once again, softly
Floating in the night, a candle

Screaming, the passing siren
“Why did you say it that way”
The wind carries, a requiem

Beginning, someone’s voice

After I step in, it disappears, the fleeting scene
As I step over, it disappears, the white line

I smiled awkwardly
And a red lie, once again, softly
Sinking into you, hallelujah

The end, someone’s voice
The end, a long season
Whenever I turn the wheel,
The next scene before me opens up

After I step in, it disappears, the fleeting scene
As I step over, it disappears, the white line
Whenever I step in, it escapes, the puddle
As I look back, it grows, the fleeting scene

Rear view mirror, waving goodbye

ハンドル　切るたびに
目のまえの　つづきを待ってる

こだまするのは　テイルランプの
赤い涙　またひとつ　ふっと
夜に浮かぶよ　キャンドル

叫びながら　すれちがうサイレン
「なんであんな　言い方したの」
風が運ぶよ　レクイエム

はじまり　誰かの声

ふみこむから　消えてゆく　はかないシーン
ふみこえると　消えてゆく　白いライン

気まずいながら　笑っていたの
赤い嘘も　またひとつそっと
君に沈むよ　ハレルヤ

おしまい　誰かの声
おしまい　長い季節
ハンドル　切るたびに
目のまえの　つづき広がるの

ふみこむから　消えてゆく　はかないシーン
ふみこえると　消えてゆく　白いライン
ふみこむたび　逃げてゆく　水たまり
ふりかえると　ふえてゆく　はかないシーン

バックミラー　手をふるサヨナラ
