(Translation)

Senaka
by: Bonnie Pink
Translated by: Alex

I am tired of always looking at his back
But I can certainly stand in line a little longer,
can’t I?
A capricious rain between him and I seems to sneer as
it seperates us entirely

Back, behind you--I’ll wait only a little longer
I’m catching up now...
Back, behind you--I’ll wait only a little longer
“Mr.” Back

I’m becoming used to seeing his back
But when he remembers his manners he makes it up to me
by looking over his shoulder, doesn’t he?
In his haste he says goodbye only with a wave behind
him*
How disappointing

Back, behind you--I’ll wait only a little longer
Today is the end of
Waiting here a little longer for “Mr.” Back

Back, behind you--I’ll wait only a little longer
It ends today
Back, behind you waiting just a little longer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author’s note- Song is basically about a woman who has
a husband who’s too busy with work to really pay
attention to her anymore, so all she really sees of
him anymore is his back (hence the songs title).
*The sense of this line is difficult to translate its
basically is hes so busy rushing out of the door, he
can only give her a wave over the shoulder .That’s the
closest I can come. Gomen!
