Monday morning blue romaji/transation

Another reasonably credible translation by me. Started this a while ago and figured I'd better just get it out here. If anyone wants the source (Japanese) text to have a crack at it, mail me.

Interesting sidenote: Hiroshi Matsui is also featured on Morning Musume's 'Egao YES Nude' as the programmer and keyboardist.

As always, public domain unless it can't be. Reposting? Include the songwriter credits, please.

'Monday morning blue'
as sung by Kayo Aiko
and performed by Hiroshi Matsui and his ROYAL MIRRORBALL ORCHESTRA

Lyrics: Kenn Kato
Music: Schroeder
Arrangement: YAS KITAJIMA

True yuutsu na no Monday (True, gloomy Monday)
Blue norikoete Tuesday (Blue, climbing over Tuesday)
itsu mo yubiorikazoete machinozomu (always counting on my fingers, waiting anxiously)
shuumatsu no yotei omoi ukabete (weekend plans i am reminded of)

Wednesday ketarui no Thursday (Wednesday, listless Thursday)
Through kutabirete Friday (through a worn-out Friday)
na no ni kono hi ni naru to Why? (but then, when it comes to today, why?)
dare mo minna egao ni afureteru (everyone overflows with smiles)

17:00(Five) tokei mitsumete (5:00 PM, the clock says)
kokoro koko ni naku (my heart is crying here)
naru kane ni tobidasu (the sound of a bell suddenly appears)
sorezore no jiyuu he (everyone's freedom)

You anata no matsu basho he (you wait in that place)
hayaru kimochi osae nagara (while good feelings surpress impatience)
Downtown no nigiwau toori wo (going through a downtown crowded with people)
isogiashi te kakeru (going at a fast pace)

Someday dekiru ka na Boy friend (someday will there be a boyfriend?)
Dreaming barairo no Weekend (dreaming of a rose-colored weekend)
doko ni iru no (when will that be?)
unmei no sono hito wa (this person's fate)
tameiki ga koboreru (a sigh falls out)

You itsu ka deaeru hazu (you, someday an encounter might happen)
keredo kitai wa karamawari (but hoping is pointless)
Downtown ni soredemo kuridasu (in downtown, regardless i send out)
yokan ga shiteru kara (premonition that it's happening)

You anata no matsu basho he (you wait in that place)
hayaru kimochi osae kirezu (while good feelings won't reach you)
Downtown de te wo furu shuumatsu (downtown waving hand to the weekend)

Yume miru Monday morning blue (dreaming of Monday morning blue)
