１．日暮れに紅い灯 点々と
滲むホームの 窓明かり
ママン 待ってて 御免ね遅くて
もつれた髪を 振り乱し
奔る娘は まだ悪い子なの？
２．モノレールに駆け込み ガタゴト動く
観音様が 追いかける
そんなの厭よ 赦して逃して
幼いころから ママンに迷惑
それを見届ける気 かんのんさまは
３．いのち召されても 来ない気か？
もう手遅れだよ しょうがない奴め
兄や妹の眼が語る とどうだ
ママンのお目目が ぱっちり開く
涙で笑って このわたしに
（repeat）
元気になるわと お頭を撫でる
あなたのお顔は かんのんさまみたい
まだまだ生きるわ あなたがいるもの
歌・演奏を聴く
ジュン葉山 涙の観音さま ライブ映像
原掲載サイトで紹介されているライブ映像です。歌詞とあわせてお楽しみください。

At dusk, red lights flicker Dots of light on the damp platform window Maman, wait for me, I'm sorry, I'm late Tousled hair, flung wildly Is the running daughter still a bad child? 2. Rushing onto the monorail, it rattles Kannon chases after Such things I don't want, forgive me and let me go Since childhood, I've been a bother to Maman That's what Kannon sees through 3. Even if life is taken, will you not come? It's too late, what a useless person The eyes of brothers and sisters speak, what do you think? Maman's eyes open wide Laughing with tears, to this me (repeat) I'm getting better, stroking your head Your face is like Kannon's I'll keep living, because you're here Song and performance Jun Hayama Tears of Kannon Live Video Live video introduced on the original publication site.
