[Verse 1]
The digital fuel gauge on my motorcycle dropped to the last bar, so I decided to head to a gas station. The cheapest station saves me 10 yen per liter, meaning a 5-liter fill-up saves me 50 yen.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Going to that shop means riding an extra 10kilometers. Suppose I get 40kilometers per liter, then. Let’s see.
[Chorus 1]
Even if I act based on such calculations,
I’m increasing carbon dioxide emissions,
And that comes back to haunt me in the form of this climate.
[Verse 2]
I filled up 4.6 liters, so 4.6 liters x 10 yen = 46 yen. My fuel efficiency is 40km/L, so the cost of gas for that extra 10 km-at 157yen/L devided by 4 – is 39yen. 46 yen minus 39 yen equals 7 yen.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hmm, a 7-yen saving. Well, they say “every little bit adds up,” so in the long run, it’s definitely a gain.
[Chorus 2]
Even if I act based on such calculations,
I’m increasing carbon dioxide emissions,
And that comes back to haunt me in the form of this climate.
[Verse 3]
I look up to see gray rain clouds; the asphalt is getting wet, and the road ahead looks hazy and white. It’s raining. Just as predicted, the rain starts to fall, though it stops once I pass through that area.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I wondered if I’d get caught in the rain again on the way back, and sure enough, it started pouring.
[Chorus 3]
Even if I act based on such calculations,
I’m increasing carbon dioxide emissions,
And that comes back to haunt me in the form of this climate.
[Bridge]
I wish this rain would fall on the fields instead;
Rain clouds gathered in the sky yesterday evening, too,
But it didn’t rain. Most of the time,
Things don’t go the way I want them to.
[Final Chorus]
Even if I act based on such calculations,
I’m increasing carbon dioxide emissions,
And that comes back to haunt me in the form of this climate.
[Outro]
