デクノボーになれなんだ (English Ver.)

Kenji Miyazawa's poem Ame ni mo Makezu portrays the figure of the "Dekunobō."

It is someone who asks for nothing in return and continues to exist for the sake of others. Yet even while admiring that ideal, there is a part of ourselves that knows we may never fully become it.

I Couldn't Become a Dekunobō is a song about the weakness of being unable to live up to that ideal-and about continuing to live, even so.
